How I render blog posts

I use Notion as CMS. I store all my drafts and published posts in a Notion table. I run a script that automates the blog posts fetching and generating pre-rendered pages at build time for better performance.

How I render project pages

I use local Markdown (MDX) files (./content) to render project pages like https://gourav.io/notion-boost , https://gourav.io/clone-wars.

File names and public URLs mapping

Markdown file should be named as index.md inside the respective md folder

For projects:

folder: ./content/misc/clone-wars
file: ./content/misc/clone-wars/index.md
url: https://gourav.io/clone-wars

folder: ./content/misc/notion-boost
file: ./content/misc/notion-boost/index.md
url: https://gourav.io/notion-boost

It also works with sub-paths:

folder: ./content/misc/notion-boost/whats-new
file: ./content/misc/notion-boost/whats-new/index.md
url: https://gourav.io/notion-boost/whats-new

Open graph image

Store open graph image inside respective md folder as og.jpg or og.png, else site default og.png file will be picked e.g. https://gourav.io/og.png

folder: ./content/misc/notion-boost
og image: ./content/misc/notion-boost/og.jpg or ./content/misc/notion-boost/og.png

Images

Store all related images inside its md folder.


folder: ./content/misc/notion-boost
images:
./content/misc/notion-boost/img1.png
./content/misc/notion-boost/img2.gif

in the case of md sub-folders: store images (including og image) in the base markdown folder

folder: ./content/misc/notion-boost/whats-new
images:
./content/misc/notion-boost/og.png
./content/misc/notion-boost/img_a.png
./content/misc/notion-boost/img_b.jpg
