Daybook redirects

https://daybook-redirects.hockeybuggy.com/

This is a simple static site that creates redirect pages for my "daybooks" (my daily task list "system"). I then use bookmark shortcuts the generated pages and use them to quickly get to "today's daybook" or "the end of last week's daybook" (e.g. ctrl+n, type: td<enter> to go to today's)

My notion Workspace is and will remain a private space, but this project of redirects should be safe to make public.

What does this do

Once a day this project is rebuilt. Each time it generates pages, when loaded, will redirect to a specific notion page. This pages have a specific name pattern of yyyy-MM-dd.

Setup

These instructions guide you through the setup for this project.

1. Clone repo

This repo requires node, and yarn. The instructions assume you are running fnm for managing node versions.

git clone git@github.com:hockeybuggy/daybook_redirects.git
fnm use
yarn install

2. Setup a Notion API key

Instructions for setup can be found here: https://developers.notion.com/docs/getting-started#getting-started

Save the "Internal Integration Token" in the .env file after saving it in a password manager.

cp .env.sample .env
$EDITOR .env

3. Running locally

This project should be able to be run locally with:

yarn run build

There are a few other commands:

yarn run test
yarn run lint
yarn run format
yarn run clean

4. Setup Netlify

This project assumed the use of Netlify for deploying the site. Go to your dashboard and create a new project from a Git repository (I guess a fork? Never tried this).

You will need to set the Notion API token NOTION_TOKEN in Netlify.

Optionally setup a custom subdomain of my main website via Netlify (this is mostly a vanity step)

Create a build hook. This is a url that when posted to will rebuild the site. This will be used by a GitHub action to rebuild the page on a schedule.

5. Configure GitHub Actions

There is a "build" workflow that runs one a day.

Add a new New repository secret:

• name: NETLIFY_BUILD_HOOK
• value:

What bookmarks to I setup to work with this

I primarily used these daybook redirects via bookmarks with keywords setup. This means that for example I could type "td" and see "today"'s daybook. These are what I setup:

Page	Keyword	Url
Today	td	https://daybook-redirects.hockeybuggy.com/today
Yesterday	yd	https://daybook-redirects.hockeybuggy.com/yesterday
Tomorrow	tw	https://daybook-redirects.hockeybuggy.com/tomorrow
Daybook	db	https://daybook-redirects.hockeybuggy.com/daybooks
