8$/Mo just for domain name... Uhhhh

@rabochiy_rabochiy You're free not to use it :)

@rabochiy_rabochiy @traf Instead of trying to be witty here, you should be asking "what would make it worth for you". You're missing on some great feedback with smartass comments like that. Now I actually might be your target audience. I've been trying to build a personal website in Notion. (for things like this: https://www.notion.so/Tomato-2-9...) My greatest problem is that I hate the design. If you worked on that part, make it at least Medium-level blog design, I might even give it a try. For now, it's a pass. Good luck.

@rabochiy_rabochiy @_vojto Not trying to be witty at all. There will always be folks who disagree with our pricing and/or design decisions, and there's no convincing people whose minds are already made up. If it works for you, cool. If it doesn't, that's cool too. I'm not sure what you mean by the design either. We don't actually modify anything to do with your Notion page, as that's on you. We just add the ability to use your Notion docs on your own custom URL. The value of Super is in our utility, not our design.

@rabochiy_rabochiy @traf Your landing page has this weird gray background, so I was assuming you were gonna do that to my site too. Glad that's not the case. Anyway, seems like you know what you're doing, so I'll show myself out. πŸ‘‹

@_vojto You might try an app called Bublup. You can save any type of content including links, images, notes, etc. like you have on your Notion page, but quickly turn it in to a shareable page/website (called a "Roll") with custom branding and path domains for free. Offers several different themes and customization options. You can see tons of examples here: https://bublup.com/rolls. Full disclosure I work for Bublup, but I believe it fits well for your use case described above.

Thanks for the hunt @bentossell! So stoked to be able to share Super with you guys. We use Notion religiously, but the inability to use it as a standalone website with custom domains got us questioning why that isn't possible, so we built a simple solution. Some cool things you can do with Super: – Add custom domains to any public Notion doc – Customize your Notion doc with Google fonts – Inject JS snippets for things like analytics or live chat widgets – Customize your social meta tags & imagery – Hide the Notion logo Super is a great solution for no-coders creating a portfolio, blog, resume, company wiki, or anything in between. You can check out our site here β€” https://super.so ⚑️ Let me know if you guys have any questions and/or feedback!

Hi @bentossell @traf! I really loved the idea and neomorphic design is amazing! Really looking forward to it's application, branding is dope! Also, would love to feature it on my Instagram handle and would love to have on my Business Podcast as guest which will expose it to Indian masses! Looking forward to your reply! Please drop in your email address if interested! Thanks

@bentossell @porush_puri Thanks for the comment Porush! Feel free to send us an email. Hello at super.so

@bentossell @traf I built my new travel resource site with Notion and Super and the tracking/domain/font works great! Thank you so much for making Super happen the no-code way. Feel free to checkout my new site and provide any feedback~

The neumorphism....😢......
traf
Michael Andreuzza
@traf, maybe it hurts your feelings, but is really bad, I am sorry. I couldn't differentiate between inputs, buttons... I would really take accessibility into account. "Neumorphism" is not something you should use...if you want to be taken seriously. You can be different and have personality in different ways... But hey, is my opinion, and opinions ain't facts...
traf
@michael_andreuzza Who says we're trying to be taken seriously? No hard feelings at all, I know it isn't for everyone. I appreciate your opinion.
Sharath Kuruganty
Love the Neumorphic Design and I can say your landing page is one of best I came across in recent times! One quick suggestion: In the demo site it would be more effective when we see the before after in one glance instead of opening links to another tab. But love the execution and you guys are on a mission to make notion super πŸ”₯
traf
@5harath Thanks for the suggestion Sharath! Great idea, we'll definitely keep that in mind. Glad you like our landing page!
Ryan Hoover
Well done, @traf and @trillcyborg. I'm curious what your plans are longer term for Super. πŸ€”
traf
@trillcyborg @rrhoover Thanks Ryan! Much appreciated. Some medium to long term ideas we've got in mind are website themes/templates/components (not just for Notion), and paid private groups, like a simpler Podia, but for those who host their courses/content within no-code products like Notion. Among other things :)
Adi Goldstein
Probably the most amazing website I have ever seen! And all that before I even understood your product!!WOW

@adigold1 My dopamine levels are spiking. Thanks for the kind words man!
Aaron Grunfeld
Another world-class product by Traf. 10/10 Exactly what I wanted for my blog

@aaron_grunfeld1 You the man πŸ™πŸΌ Couldn't have done it without @trillcyborg.

Finally custom domains for Notion 😍Just signed up for the free trial and the process is as smooth as butter. Phenomenal work guys.
traf
@strance Thanks guy! I appreciate you.
Nik McFly
Love the Notion and websites made with that, love the idea by Super, love the neumorphic. Everything is cool, I'm almost convinced. Will think about my next website on Notion+Super :)
traf
@nikmcfly Appreciate the kind words Nik! Much love!
Ardy Naghshineh
Congrats on being the #1 of the day on PH! πŸ‘ I think one important feature is missing: The ability to set up custom URLs/slugs for pages. Some benefits: 1. SEO 2. URLs will be easier to share. 3. When we need to migrate to a different solution, we can perhaps keep using the same URLs.
traf
@ardalanme Thanks for the comment Ardy! That's something we're actively working on. An API would make things 1000% easier, but in the process of figuring out what's possible to do without one.
traf
@ardalanme Thanks man! I appreciate it.
Alex Sherwood
Really impressed by how polished this looks already. I've been searching for a good solution for page analytics and custom domains for my Notion pages for a while πŸ™Œ Does Super support Notion databases yet? I couldn't see any examples on the demo page.
traf
@aplssf Thanks Alex! Appreciate your kind words. We don't actually modify anything within your Notion page, so you can use Notion how you do normally, just with custom domains, fonts, analytics, etc.
Josh Werner
Good job guys! Looks amazing!
Jason Werner
@jshwrnr Thanks bro!
Isaac Weinbach
$8/month/site is steep considering the cost of purchasing a normal domain from any registrar.
traf
@i_wein Thanks for the comment! We do plan on introducing some more plans later on (including a free one) that vary in prices based on usage and page views.
Brad Dwyer
We tried out a competing product and it wasn't quite what we were hoping for. Our two main problems with notion are 1) the ugly URLs (both this and the other product solved that fine -- although it'd be nice to have an option to rewrite the slugs in addition to the domain) and 2) it's soooooo slooooow. Statically caching the site behind a CDN would go a long way. The competitor was trying to do this but it doesn't work with embedded Youtube videos and some other content yet so we had to abandon it.
traf
@braddwyer Hey Brad! I'm totally with you on those long slugs. We're actively trying to find a way to minimize/remove those if at all possible. We're somewhat limited on that end until Notion releases their API. Caching improvements is also coming very soon! Something we're definitely aware of. Appreciate you checking it out!
Jack Smith
@braddwyer which other product are you referring to?
traf
@braddwyer @_jacksmith There are two that I know of: hostnotion.co & hostingpotion.com.
Filippo Mursia
Just came here to say that I love the shadow/lighting game in all over the page! Touch of class.
traf
@mrdobelina Glad you like it! Thanks for browsing.
Che Sampat
Absolutely love the idea! I think you've done a very impressive job on the landing page!!! Just a question is this "allowed" and not being an official product how can you be sure that Notion won't push an update that could break your product?
traf
@chek Thanks for the kind words, Che! That's a fair concern. Although it doesn't say anywhere that this 'isn't' allowed, it is possible that Notion would push an update that breaks our connection. We are planning to transition to their API as soon as they release it, as that'll be a much more reliable avenue. I'm hoping that since we're generally supporting the use of Notion, they'll give us a break in the meantime :)
Francoo
@chek @traf hey there, do you have any insight on the official API ?
traf
@chek @francoolaami Not as of yet, but we're on their private beta list.
Frank Ramos
Launching soon!
@traf @trillcyborg ?makers Really smooth neomorphic aesthetic in the product design. Do you find the design helps make it easier to tell the story about your product?
traf
@francisco_ramos Thanks Francisco! I appreciate that. Being a designer, I absolutely do, though it definitely comes easier with some products than with others. Super was a breeze to design!

+10 for encouraging the use of Fathom Analytics :)

Really like the project as always. Kinda surprised about some toxic people here tho... Keep up the great work Traf!

@ezraa Without the toxic people there'd be nothing to show! I appreciate it man.
