Website Builder

Developed a platform that helps people create websites without coding, with a no-code tool directly in the Notion app. I made everything single-handedly, including a feature that converts a Notion page to React components using the Notion API and a Next.js incremental static regeneration. This feature provides the best SEO score and performance while keeping the site content dynamic. The website also automatically syncs with the Notion page every few seconds.

App users can change site style directly from the dashboard without coding, edit their website on the go using the fully responsive dashboard, and write custom JavaScript and CSS code. They can also add a custom domain and Google Analytics to their website.
