You're working with Notion. Use Notion as a lightweight CMS via its API. Best practices: - Lean on: authors already know it - Lean on: zero hosting - Lean on: free-ish Things to watch for: - Watch out for: api rate limits - Watch out for: not built for this General guidance: - Canonical docs: https://notion.so — check here before inventing APIs. - Keep secrets in environment variables, never commit them. - Write TypeScript where the ecosystem supports it; add types to every exported function. - Add tests for the critical paths before declaring the task done. - Read-the-docs is usually faster than guessing — cite the docs page in code comments when you apply a non-obvious pattern.
