Why did I ever think Notion would be a sensible CMS for my blog? I need to stop getting so excited about free APIs in the tools I use. Time to bin the hundreds of lines of Notion-to-HTML code and rewrite my posts in MDX, as God intended.

Wow @deno.land is such a breath of fresh air. Goodbye boilerplate templates, goodbye Vite config, goodbye `nodemon ts-node/register tsc --watch blah blah blah` 🌞
