I made PDFtion, a better "print to PDF". Free, no signup, no nothing. (self.Notion) [Other]

I thought about (even started) going towards something like yours so I could down the line figure out some feature that could be worthy of being paid... but ended up not following through.
It's used by a few people every day and costs me nothing to run so I've just left it there as a kinda public service :)
But your app being much nicer I'm sure could have some feature behind a paywall and people wouldn't mind if it brought value, specially if work-related.
urandomdude
Nice! I made https://pdftion.com a while back, same spirit but massively less featured.
Yours looks much cooler! Congrats!
Are you thinking about monetizing?
urandomdude
By far the best GPT-made joke I've seen around here.
urandomdude
Hey! Yeah that makes sense!
I'm actually thinking about building some sort of "suggestions place" so people can send them.
I'll let you know if I get around to do the toggles bit and also the suggestions, which would be good anyway.
urandomdude
That's great! Thanks for the share!

Here's the docs for the API on how to fetch comments:
https://developers.notion.com/reference/comment-object
You should read the getting started guide here:

Hope that helps!

Hey! Printing DBs is notoriously hard, they are too wide, controlling how the cells are shown is tricky... that's why the current PDF export is terrible at it too.
So not in my immediate plans. I get nothing from this app so hard to justify the effort there.
urandomdude
Hey, tbh I'm not sure how you could do that, this app just prints the text, I'm afraid it cannot support printing databases and in particular not the comments in them.
That's something the API may be able to do. If you're technical you can try yourself, if not I suggest hiring a programmer.

Hey, I've tried to improve it and better handle this issue, but as a free app I cannot justify going to a higher paid tier in my infra provider, and sadly there are limits on how long things can take.
Notion is notoriously slow on returning data so I'm afraid if the page is too large or complex it may hit toe 10 second time out.
You should see a better error message now, tho.
urandomdude
Thanks!

Thanks so much!

A box of Bretonnian archers. I think it came with some paints. It was just before 5th edition landed so I guess around 1995.
Good times.
urandomdude
Soo.... did it appear?

I'd like to rephrase your comment in a more succinct way, if you'll allow me:
Please stop, my penis can only get so erect!
urandomdude
My experience: it's not that problematic.
Just use a reverse proxy and add your favorite auth. Do not expose studio directly to the internet. Basic HTTP auth works perfectly fine.
Then expose, kong, auth and rest using the built in auth methods (JWT) and you are ready to go.
This is a very common scenario when self hosting.

Bit of spam here but I'm building a tool to do these sort of tricky bulk edits, tauleta.com, I'm close to launch on a Beta release, I'll make sure to add this feature.

Tauleta: Edit Notion databases as spreadsheets
Hey!
Did you ever have to deal with editing a large Notion database? I have. Not the best experience.
In my case it's a huge "Useful tools" database where I clip any product or idea I think may come in handy in the future when working on developing software.
I have to then go in and read, tag, sort and describe away so I can reference them later and, honestly, so I can find anything at all.
And doing that with the default Notion UI is not that fun.
So I've been building Tauleta, a simple, online, no-subscriptions, no-syncing tool that allows editing Notion databases in a familiar spreadsheet interface.
I'm working on launching it publicly soon so I'm trying to gauge interest. Would it be useful to you?
If it would please join the closed beta list at https://tauleta.com
I'm planning on a free tier and a one-time lifetime purchase to unlock full functionality. What do you think?
I'd love to hear your feedback: features, pricing, everything is up for discussion.
Thanks!

I wanted to but Reddit takes a while to process new videos (a few seconds) so it's not trivial to do with the real time feed as most are not ready and I can't access the URLs. But it's something I want to fix!
urandomdude
Thanks! Your project looks really cool. Also thanks for the heads up, it happens sometimes, there's room for improvement 😂
urandomdude
It's done! I've added a third state to the "censor" concept. Either blur, hide or show the NSFW-tagged content.
urandomdude
Update! I've added a third state to the "censor" toggle allowing hiding instead of blurring images.
urandomdude
I've just updated the app and now the "censor" function allows hiding NSFW images instead of blurring them :)
Literally yesterday had a dream where i was recruited into some "nova legio X" and we had a dude carrying a standard with SENATVS POPVLVSQVE EVROPAE.
The simulation is prepping us for the coming struggle.
At least we'll get cool flags.
