Notion Feeder

A Node.js app for creating a Feed Reader in Notion.

Features

Separate database for your feed sources and feed items.

Add, enable and disable your feed sources.

Feeds are sourced daily and stored in the Reader database. New feed items are marked with 🔥.

Read a feed directly in Notion Page View.

Different views of accessing Unread, Starred feed items.

Setup

  1. Create a new Notion Integration and copy the secret code which you'll use as NOTION_API_TOKEN in Step 4.

  2. Duplicate this template to your Notion workspace.

  3. Once the template is available on your Notion Workspace, open the Reader database. Click Share > Invite and search the Notion integration you created in Step 1 and Click Invite. Do the same for the Feeds database.

  4. Fork this GitHub repository and once forking is complete, go to your forked GitHub repository. Go to Settings > Secrets. Add the following three secrets along with their values.

    NOTION_API_TOKEN
    NOTION_READER_DATABASE_ID
    NOTION_FEEDS_DATABASE_ID
    

    To find your database id, visit your database on Notion. You'll get a URL like this: https://www.notion.so/{workspace_name}/{database_id}?v={view_id}.

  5. Delete the release workflow file as it is only required in the original repository.

That's it. Now every day, your feed will be updated at 12:30 UTC. You can change the time at which the script runs from here.
