[NM] Uploading files with Notion's new FileUpload API


File uploads are here!

The new FileUpload API in Notion's public API allows you to upload both small and large files via a well-structured workflow. But how does it work and what does the code look like?

I'd force myself to stick to rigid schedules, push through creative blocks with sheer willpower, and feel guilty when my output didn't...

Digital Spring Cleaning A Digital deep clean can be a way to find a slice of calm in a chaotic times. Hey Reader, Last week, just as I was getting ready to dive into a productive work session, I noticed my Mac’s spinning beach ball of death. My computer was lagging badly.
