Hey guys!
I'm wondering, do you use Notion as your app's knowledge base? If so, how do you organize pages and categories in the knowledge base?
A bit of context. I'm working on embeddable Notion knowledge base, that you can add as a widget to your app. So I'm very interested in learning how you organize pages/categories in Notion.
Thanks! 😊
Here's how I'm using it to build in public and doing research prior to building a product:

Hey! Thanks for the reply.
Are you going to use Notion for documentation for users?
Thanks!
Probably to write it, but most likely exported to markdown and integrated into the product as static pages (where it can follow the code and commit history).
At the end of the day, owning the content is important, and the recent Notion outage shows that relying on it too much can take a toll on your service's availability.
Not sure if this is something you're looking for. I use Notion for public information and database: https://virtualmojito.com/
I've been organizing my private app knowledge base using Notion. I think this isn't quite what you're asking, but it's related enough that I wanted to offer what I've been doing. I make the tree as shallow as I can while still providing explanation for each level.
The top level is the app itself, with an explanation for each subsection, and embedded pages in each subsection. Kanban board, competitive research, Tech, Finance, Legal, etc.
Each level has some explanation for each of the subsections under it. The Tech page has some sections for each of the broad technical topics (like how is Javascript built and embedded into the Golang binary), and then has some subpages for topics that were getting too big - (techniques I've been doing because of Chrome Lighthouse, etc)
