Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Converts Markdown or Notion pages into type-safe data ready to be imported into an ESM module. Type safety means you can loop through pages and parse out JSON, Markdown, MDX. Can also pull from remote sources. Integrates into Next.js with fast, incremental builds & hot reload.

Tradeoffs

No support for other frameworks (in consideration) or content sources like CMSs.
