Hey there!
I'm building a web service to give notion super powers thanks to small, configurable extensions.
The first extension I'm working on is the highly-requested "auto increment number". Although it's pretty much done, I would like to give early access to some people before making an official public launch.
If you are interested on trying it out, you should know:
- When you configure the extension for a large database for the first time, it will take a bit until all the pages get updated with the auto incremented number. This is because the extension needs to update the pages one by one.
- Because of how notion works, the pages created within the same minute will get updated randomly by the extension. In other words:
- User A creates 3 new pages in a row. Notion batches the creation and the new 3 pages have the exact same creation date.
- The extension doesn't have a way of knowing which of these 3 pages was created first since they all have the same date, so it basically updates those
pages randomly to include the auto-incremented number.
Interested?
Just visit notionextensions.brais.dev [temporary domain during the alpha] and create an account to start configuring the first extension 🙂
I will be sharing my progress on Twitter, so you can follow me @braisthinks.
Roadmap
- [x] Auto increment number
- [ ] Google and apple's calendars integration
- [ ] Automatic creation of pages every hour/day/week... (useful for habit trackers, journals...)
- [ ] Github integration
- [ ] More soon based on your feedback!
Hi Brais!
My name is Leandro and I am the creator of Notion2Sheets and same as you we have seen in Reddit and Facebook groups a lot of people asking for this feature and we share the frustration sentiment about Created time and Last edited time with you.
I think you probably have good use cases in "Automatic creation of pages every hour/day/week", people need a good way of creating recurring tasks, habits and more. Have seen people asking for example for a page to be created when a database page changes a value from X to Y, for example statuses.
Cheers!
Hey Leandro!
Shame to hear that other makers are struggling with that issue too :(
And I really appreciate your piece of feedback, I think that the automatic creation of pages is in fact something a lot of people are looking for.
I've added it to my notes, thanks!
All the best!
