NotionApps - Build apps from Notion databases in minutes

Hello Product Hunters! 😺 This is Sameer, co-founder of NotionApps. Thank you for checking out our launch! The Idea 💡 Jatin and I have been building tools in the no-code space for the past 4 years. And we use Notion for everything internal. We understand the strengths of the tool and also its pain points. At the beginning of the year, when we decided to pivot, we talked to more users in the Notion community and we realized a lot of them share similar pain points. The pain points 🙅‍♂️ 👉 There is no simple way to share data with those who do not intend to use Notion (like clients, vendors, field teams, etc) 
👉 Notion does not have granular database permissions (share only specific data to users)
 👉 Limitations in views especially in the mobile experience, also not many options to customize the layout.
 👉 Notion does not have app-like functionalities such as custom sign-up/login, navigation menus, QR scanning, location tracking, etc The solution 🚒 A tool to build apps from Notion data without coding. The apps look professional, load blazing fast, and are mobile-friendly. Since the apps are PWAs they can be shared by a link and also installed (Add to home screen) on any device. The features 🛠️ We are adding new building blocks to the app builder every week. Some important features include, 1. List views 2. Grid views 3. Custom domain 4. Enable login 5. Database permissions 6. Forms to add data 7. Forms to update data 8. Location components 9. Media components 10. Barcode scanning 
..and more We take our feature requests seriously, some upcoming features include Relation support, showing page content in the app, and desktop view. The use cases 🕵️‍♀️ We are seeing our early customers use the tool for various use cases. While we come across new use cases frequently, here are some popular ones 1. Catalogues 2. Directories 3. Event portals 4. Employee portals 5. Client portals 6. Membership apps 7. Partner apps 8. Field apps What use case do you have in mind? Thank you once again, can’t wait to hear your feedback.

Hey PH Community! This is Jatin, the other co-founder of NotionApps. Sameer has already described what NotionApps does and how our users are using it. I wanted to take a step back and reflect on how we got here. We started building a different no-code tool back in late 2019. We struggled to gain enough traction and saw the market getting more crowded by the day. At last, when we decided to pivot, it was a hard decision. It felt like we were quitting on our product. In hindsight, we should have pivoted earlier. What we thought was a failure, turned out to be an outlet for all things we wanted to do with the first product. These are the things we did quite the opposite in the second product (compared to the first): 1. A NotionApps community from Day 1 🤝 2. Better documentation 📚 3. Focus on PLG flows 🚀 4. Focus on marketing 📢 5. and, finally a Product Hunt launch 💥 NotionApps is a labor of love. We want to expand Notion’s ecosystem with our app builder. I hope you see the vision that we see and leave some feedback for us! Thanks for stopping by!

Excited to hunt NotionApps! I think NotionApps has the potential to be a game-changer for users who want to create new and innovative apps with Notion. Here are a few specific things I like about NotionApps: - It's easy to use. Even if you're not a developer, you can create custom apps with NotionApps. - It works seamlessly with Notion. - It's powerful. NotionApps can be used to create a wide variety of apps, from simple to complex. - It allows granular data sharing with people in or outside of your Notion workspace. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a way to extend the functionality of Notion.

I bet this will be among the top 3 products of the day. Congratulations on the launch! Rooting for your launch success

Notion Apps team, congrats on the launch! I wish I had such a product earlier. So much time could be saved. @natella_nuralieva , check it out. It is like your love for creating lists with Notion and developing things finally meet in one place :) I think that we could try to visualize the use cases of our own product with this app. Thank you! And congrats one more time!

Congrats on your launch! Just saw this tool a few days ago by chance. It feels like you're nailing a key inflection point - Notion moving into advertising Databases more, people looking for Airtable alternatives, and Directories being a thing :) Would love to hear about something you'd implement if you could 10x your team size? Since you asked for feedback - I'd personally love to see a clearer example under the "Build an app for free" section. I see some screenshots there, but I'm really not sure what I'm looking at 😅 Would also love some integration of a design system like Float UI (Cc @sidi_jeddou_dev ) or Material Design. :)

Congrats on your launch. Notion apps looks like a great tool for MVP creation. Do you have payments on your roadmap? That would make it even more helpful.

I've encountered a couple of MVPs in Notion over the years, so there's definitely a market for this product!

Oh sorry, follow up question - Do you have any plans for a LTD? I would instantly buy but am delaying for design, so LTD might be a better fit for me. 🚀

Wow, NotionApps sounds like a game-changer for those who love utilizing Notion for organization and data management! I have a few questions that I hope you can answer: 1. Can you provide examples of the apps that can be built using NotionApps? I'm curious to see the versatility and potential use cases. 2. How does configuring data sharing with each user work? Is it customizable on a per-user basis or more of a global setting? Additionally, I wanted to share a resource that might be valuable for your launch. Have you considered contacting specific communities or forums where Notion power users gather? These communities could be a great place to generate buzz and get feedback from potential users. I'm excited to see how NotionApps evolves and how it can streamline app development for non-coders like myself. Keep up the great work!
