Is Notion Database a Good Fit for CMS?

I'm curious can Notion's database be used effectively as a CMS for websites?

For example, managing content for an e-commerce site or a news/blog platform.

What's in your dock?

I was recently reminded of @Dockhunt and how fun it was to see what kinds of apps different folks kept in their dock. I remember it being a cool way to discover some new products I hadn't seen before. I'm also just a big fan of desktop apps over web apps. I find it a lot easier to stay focused when I'm flipping between apps vs flipping between tabs.

These are the apps in my dock:

  • @Google Chrome - Pretty basic. I've really been considering switching over to @Horse though.

  • @Slack - The de facto option.

  • @Superhuman - Maybe the fastest I've become a fan of a product. I think I was pushing it on others within a few hours.

  • @Notion - Great for documentation and collaborating. I also use it personally for tracking books I read and video games I play, along with tracking personal projects.

  • Notion Calendar - The menu bar aspect of this is really what sold me. It makes it so much easier to stay on top of my meetings every day.

  • @Linear - We just recently switched over to Linear here at @Product Hunt and I've been loving it. Pro tip: if you prefer the desktop app, there's a setting to open links in the app, but you can only set that option through the web version.

  • @iTerm2 - I've tried others, but this is my favorite. This + @Neovim is just

  • @Claude by Anthropic - This has been my LLM of choice for a while, and I really like having it as a desktop app. Especially the keyboard shortcut to quickly bring it up and ask something.

  • @Tandem - Super easy to stay in touch and sync with teammates. Incredibly useful for a remote team.

  • @Spotify - I typically have a YouTube video on in the background, but if I'm writing or doing something more focused, I'll typically have some kind of Jazz going.

Remote team or Onsite office team?

My team all work remotely for all my businesses and it has been an amazing ride. Plus I get to know people from different parts of the world which I really love doing. So I would have to go Remote Team.
