This post is the rendering fixture for the blog. It includes bold, italic, strike, underline, inline code, links (external link to developers.notion.com), and tinted text. Also: red, blue, green, purple, orange, pink, brown.
Quiet Motion
A blog should feel light, not empty.
Lines guide the eye, dots keep rhythm.
White space is not wasted space — it breathes.
Structure
Unordered List
- A list item with nested detail
- Nested bullet content
- Even deeper nesting
- Another top-level item
- Colored bold list item
Ordered List
- 1.Ordered item one
- a.Nested ordered item
- b.Another nested item
- a.
- 2.Ordered item two
- 3.Ordered item three
Todo List
Toggle Samples
Toggle Sample
Text inside a toggle block.
Why use toggles?
Toggles are perfect for supplementary content — footnotes, extended examples, or spoilers — that shouldn't interrupt reading flow. They keep the page clean while keeping information accessible.
Nested Toggle
This is the outer toggle content.
Inner Toggle
Content nested two levels deep inside toggles.
Math
Inline math looks like and block math works too.

Keep sentences short. One idea per sentence. Paragraphs breathe.

Why Notion as a CMS?
It keeps writing friction low while still giving structured metadata. You get a rich editor, a database for properties like tags and slugs, and a public API — all without maintaining a separate admin panel.
The tradeoff is rendering: you must fetch and transform Notion's block structure yourself. But for a personal blog, that's a one-time investment.
How does the rendering pipeline work?
- 1.A webhook or ISR trigger fires when the page is updated.
- 2.The site fetches the page blocks via the Notion API.
- 3.Blocks are recursively mapped to React components.
- 4.The page is statically rendered and cached on the CDN.
Total latency from save to live: under 10 seconds.
What block types are supported?
Currently supported:
- Paragraph, Heading 1–3
- Bulleted, numbered, todo lists
- Toggles, callouts, quotes
- Code (with syntax highlighting)
- Tables, dividers
- Images, videos
- Math (inline and block via KaTeX)
Not yet supported: databases, synced blocks, embeds.
