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 the three-button page menu in the top right corner ... > Add connections 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.

5. Enable the GitHub Actions by visiting the Actions tab and click "I understand my workflows, enable them".

6. Click on the Get Feed action in the left panel and then click "Enable workflow".

7. Go to Settings > Secrets. Add the following three secrets along with their values as Repository secrets.

   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}. For example, if your URL looks like this: https://www.notion.so/abc/xyz?v=123, then xyz is your database ID.

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

9. That's it. Now every day, your feed will be updated at 12:30 UTC.

Note: You can change the time at which the script runs from here and the frequency of running from here.
