Fruition (https://fruitionsite.com) - Build your next website or blog with Notion, for free.
Notion has taken over the tech/design industry by a storm, and many people have used it to create web pages. However, Notion doesn’t allow custom domain and the page URL contains a long uuid (for example: https://www.notion.so/The-Beauty-of-Notion-4663b221fd154c07b...)
I built Fruition to solve exactly that. You can use a custom domain and add pretty URL slugs like https://fruitionsite.com/showcase. You can also add custom font and scripts like Google Analytics. It’s all free and open source.
I shared this on a couple of Notion communities a month ago, and 40000+ people have checked it out since. Hundreds of sites have been built with Notion and Fruition.

I created https://fruitionsite.com, a free, open source toolkit for building websites with Notion. You get pretty URL slugs, custom domain, and a whole bunch of other features.
I hacked it together in a weekend, put up the marketing site (using Fruition, oh so meta) and shared it in Notion's Facebook group and subreddit, without any expectations that it would go anywhere.
The response has been incredible. 11000 people have checked it out since. It ended up on the Product Hunt newsletter [1]. People are making YouTube videos [2] about it. Chris Coyier of CSS-Tricks [3] shared it too.
The biggest lesson for me was just launch it. There were many more things I wanted to add. But I decided to share it publicly before it was perfect. Now I have users who can give me real feedback rather than me pretending I know what people want.
http://NeedNumbers.me - a weekend project I did before school starts. It solves one simple problem of having to manually type in names and numbers after you asked for contacts on Facebook.
Many said this isn't wide-used anymore. But as a high school student, I still get invited to those groups/events frequently, and people said they've been waiting for something like this for a long time. So there is still a big market here.
Glad I could contribute my little bit to make this process a lot faster. Well worth making this as my 5-hour side project.
I first thought this is going to be another site with a bunch of long tutorials.
But I was wrong. My instinct tells me this can be the way to get wanna-be young coders excited about programming. Reason being is teenagers/young adults can feel like they are actually talking to a person, not a machine.
(I am the programmer of 5 websites/apps/plugins and a high school sophomore.)
