I quit my job after 6 years building someone else's SaaS, now I'm building my own SaaS.

Day 8/9 progress on

After days of struggling with generating dynamic HTML, I finally have some semblance of the Notion Site I created and the page rendered via AppBasics

I know it's just 1 block type with proper regen and style and I've 15 more to go. But this feels like a big win

Render tree for generating HTML from JSON blocks is working!

Wrote a long thread on Dokku based deployments on my twitter

Day 7 Plan for

- Write template for paragraph, h1,h2,h3 block types.

Day 6 with

- I need to break the bigger task of generating HTML from Notion Blocks into smaller tasks.
- Write template for each block type
- Write tree traversal for the Blocks and generate HTML based on a template for a block type.
- Focus on HTML only for now and add CSS/styling a bit later.

Day 1 - Day 4 Progress of

- setup new rails app
- added user auth and management via devise
- created basic data model (apps, users, pages, domains, blocks, etc)
- spent a lot of time understanding Notion API and their data model.
- Found SDK for ruby to interact with Notion API, added it to #appbasics
- Designed a basic logo in Figma to go with first release.
- Wrote threads on all this on my twitter
- Added ability to create new app with logo/name/description, etc.
