Super.so vs Blogizi: Notion Database vs Markdown Files

Comparing Super.so and Blogizi for developer blogging — publishing straight from a Notion database versus writing plain Markdown files.

comparison

Super.so turns a Notion database into a live, custom-domain website — no build step, no hosting to configure, just a Notion workspace with a layer on top that renders it as a real site. For anyone already living in Notion, it's a genuinely fast way to get a blog online. The trade-off is the same one that shows up whenever Notion is the source of truth.

What Super.so gets right

If you already keep notes, drafts, and databases in Notion, Super.so removes almost all the friction between writing a page and having it live on the web — add a row to your database, and it's a published post. Custom domains, decent default themes, and Notion's real-time collaborative editing all come for free.

Where it costs you

Your content's source of truth is a Notion database, not files — no git history, no diffing changes, no way to grep across your posts from a terminal. Notion's API has rate limits and occasional sync delays that show up as a live site lagging slightly behind what you just edited. And moving away from Notion later means exporting pages first, which (per Notion's own export quirks) can require cleanup rather than being a clean, drop-in migration.

Where Blogizi differs

Blogizi's source of truth is a plain Markdown file with frontmatter — written in your own editor, versioned in git if you choose, published with blogizi publish path/to/post.md. See blogging from your terminal. Sitemaps, canonical URLs, and per-post OG images are handled automatically per project — see the technical SEO checklist.

The actual decision

Pick Super.so if: Notion is already where you draft and organize everything, and you want the shortest possible path from a Notion page to a live post.

Pick Blogizi if: you want your posts as portable, git-friendly files from the start, written in your own editor rather than a shared workspace database.
