Convert markdown documentation to Notion pages seamlessly

What is Notation?

Notation is an innovative documentation management tool that bridges the gap between code repositories and Notion workspaces. It allows developers to write documentation in markdown format and automatically publish it to Notion, maintaining a single source of truth within the codebase while leveraging Notion's powerful features.

The tool emphasizes simplicity and integration with existing development workflows, eliminating the need for separate documentation management. Once content is published to Notion, users can take advantage of Notion's AI capabilities, robust search functionality, and flexible formatting options while having the option to keep documentation private or publish it as a public website.

  • Directory Structure Support: Maintains hierarchy with subpages and sub-subpages
  • Flexible Deployment: Options for internal, public Notion pages, or full website deployment
  • Custom Page Formatting: Supports custom titles and emoji icons for pages
  • Intro Page Support: Special handling for intro.md files
  • Version Control Integration: Documentation remains in sync with code repository
  • Notion AI Integration: Access to Notion's AI and search capabilities
  • CLI Interface: Simple command-line tool for documentation shipping
