Hey — it's Rames

Spending a couple of days in Cap-Ferret with my gf and her family. Life is peaceful, and it's nice to see the ocean again.

Cap-Ferret is a place with a lot of very wealthy people. You can easily spot them (by their cars, luxury bags, etc.), and it's funny to me that they all enjoy going to the same spots.

I'm also constantly wondering: what did they do to get rich? There are many ways, from building a successful business to inheritance, and I wish I were bold enough to ask them the question 😅

3 Tips

1/ Hyperlink Images

Notion is expanding their image-related features. You can now add hyperlinks to any image so that when you click this image, you access the provided page.

It can be either an external link or a link to a Notion page.

How?

• Click the ••• at the top-right of your image → add link

  OR

• Select your image → cmd/ctrl + K

Once the link is added, you’ll see an ↗️ symbol with a description of your link at the bottom-left of your image. Clicking the ✏️ symbol will allow you to edit the link, not the description.

I’ll leave you with this video from Frances (aka thenotionbar) who really loved this new feature ✨

2/ New Global Shortcut

Mark this one down in your list of favorite shortcuts: cmd/ctrl + shift + J

If you have the Notion App installed, this new shortcut will summon Notion AI from any page/app you're on on your laptop. And if you press esc, you'll be redirected to the global search shortcut that lets you search any page from your Notion workspace.

3/ Last Day of the Month Formula

Kavisha is going deep into the formulas 2.0 rabbit hole. Here’s what she found for getting the last day of a month in a Notion database.

lets(
  /* Gets the first date of the month */
  firstOfTheMonth, dateSubtract(today(), date(today()) - 1, "days"),
  
  oneMonthAdded, dateAdd(firstOfTheMonth, 1 , "month"),
  
  /* Gets the last date of the month */
  lastDateOfThisMonth, dateSubtract(oneMonthAdded, 1 , "day"),
  
  style("» Last day of the month: ", "gray") + style(lastDateOfThisMonth.format(), "b", "default")
)

2 Resources

1/ How to Build a Notion Site

For those interested in building a personal Notion site, I wrote a short blog on the topic. I think personal websites are one of the best way of immersing itself into the wild internet, and something that more of us should do. Building a Notion Site is one of the easiest way to do so 😉
