Notionful vs other website builders
Introduction
Notionful is a Notion CMS for Next.js apps.
There are many excellent services offering website/blog building capabilities, such as Super.so and Feather.io, so why would you consider another one?
No-code vs code approaches
The short answer is flexibility. The aforementioned services are primarily no-code solutions. It’s up to you to choose (in a no-code manner):
- what to render on your website (writing content in Notion Pages), and
- how to render it (there are plenty of website templates available, adjustable colors).
This is incredibly useful in many basic situations.
With Notionful, the 'what to render' remains a no-code approach, however, 'how to render' is mostly
- a code-based approach (Pro plan)
- a no-code, yet limited comparing to other services (Basic plan)
| Notionful Basic / Pro | Super.so | Feather.so | |
| What to render (content from Notion) | no-code | no-code | no-code |
| How to render (how it looks like) | no-code / code | no-code | no-code |
Through code-driven "how to render", we can define how the primitive Notion building blocks (such as paragraphs, links, dividers, etc.) should be rendered. All we need to do is specify a React component.
