#Using notion as a website for free
First off, you can technically start this for free without major issues. So there are a few pre-requisites that are required prior to starting this. Think of it as a sort of brain dump of how I am running this site and some of the backend work behind it. Please note this will be more of a “live” article as I will continue to update things as I make changes to the website. Now I know my site needs a little TLC, however throughout this post I will outline how I have this set up, but will present other options as well. I was already using Notion for my primary personal note taking app and found through that it was possible to host a website via Notion’s sharing feature and a second service called Super.so. I was looking for a minimal effort SaaS solution if I could. Running this blog was something I was considering for quite a while before I started it, but I didn’t really want to deal with running a webserver and WordPress myself. There are a few more things that go into hosting this other than just Super and Notion, but I will get into that in a little bit. I was able to essentially go from idea to ready to go in around 10-12 hours, with a lot of that being messing around and making sure things work the way I want. Here I wanted to go over the process I used to set up this blog and the backend work required to get it running.
