NotionPress
About the project
Our client faced challenges manually exporting thousands of blogs and articles to various CMS platforms as an Editor. They sought a solution to streamline this process, enabling them to efficiently publish content across different platforms without consuming excessive time.
DalloTech presented a comprehensive system that allows users to link their Notion accounts as the document source and seamlessly connect to multiple CMS platforms like WordPress, Medium, and Webflow within the system. Once these connections are established, users can effortlessly export Notion documents directly to their preferred CMS, saving hundreds of hours. An exceptional feature of this export functionality is its ability to preserve all the styling elements of the Notion document, including headings, italics, images, tables, and more.
The platform's architecture involved employing WordPress for the landing page, while the core application was crafted using ReactJS. Backend functionalities, such as connection features and exporting capabilities, were developed using Spring Boot. MySQL served as the database, hosted on Heroku.
This transformation realized the client's concept into a robust SaaS platform. Since its launch, hundreds of users have already embraced this system, with an influx of positive feedback validating its success.
