Food blog using Notion as a backend + React + Typescript (Part I)

Kahhow’s Tabelog: a trustworthy, opinionated list

UI first draft

Singapore’s food scene is saturated with reputable blogs/ instagram accounts: Miss Tham Chiak, Daniel Food Diary, IShootIeatIpost, among many others, entering the fray now seems… unproductive. Unless it is for technical learning and cultivation of what is annoyingly called ‘product sense’

Product sense, spider sense,

Here we go:

1. Clean up content of an existing Notion database that I have kept since COVID.
2. Use v0 to get UI advice/ boilerplate. Further refine via ChatGPT to compare against existing review sites like Tabelog (a staple I use in Japan to eat anything 3.5 or close to that) and be minimally opinionated about preferred programming language/ libraries so it is easier to maintain
3. Go figure everything else to deploy, namely Vercel (because managed infra for hobbyist is sensible); Google Analytics; setup Notion Integration to get API key
4. Fixes and enhancements, v0’s search, filter, tag selection, etc are all broken so those need some code
5. Define some success…
