Choice 2: Notion

How You Could Use the Notion API:

  1. Storing Scanned Data:

    • You can use the Notion API to store data extracted from scanned receipts, notes, or QR codes in a structured format within a Notion database.
    • For example, after processing a receipt, you could automatically log the extracted information (e.g., vendor name, amount, date) into a Notion database.

  2. Organizing and Displaying Information:

    • If your app categorizes data (e.g., different types of documents), you can use the Notion API to organize this information within different databases or pages in Notion.
    • This allows you to leverage Notion's interface for easy access and management of the scanned data.

  3. Task Management or Automation:

    • If your app generates actionable tasks or insights from the scanned data, you could use the Notion API to create corresponding tasks or reminders in Notion.

  4. Creating Rich Text Entries:

    • You can use the Notion API to create pages that include rich text, images, and other media that might be relevant to the scanned content.

Steps to Use the Notion API:

  1. Set Up Notion API Access:

    • Obtain an integration token from Notion and share your integration with the pages or databases you want to access via the API.
    • Notion API Documentation

  2. Connect to the API:

    • Use the Notion API in your app by sending HTTP requests to create, read, update, or delete entries in your Notion workspace.
    • There are SDKs and libraries in various programming languages (like Python, JavaScript) that make interacting with the Notion API easier.

  3. Handle Data and Errors:

    • Implement logic in your app to properly handle responses and errors from the Notion API. Ensure data integrity by validating the inputs before sending them to Notion.

Example Use Case:

If your app scans receipts and extracts information, you could send this data to a Notion database with columns for "Date," "Vendor," "Amount," etc. Each scanned receipt would automatically populate a new row in this database.

This approach makes Notion a backend for storing and organizing your app's data, leveraging Notion's UI for data visualization and management.

Pros and Cons of Notion:

Pros of Using Notion API:

  1. Integration with a Powerful Productivity Tool:

    • Pro: Notion is a versatile and popular productivity tool used for note-taking, project management, databases, and more. Integrating with Notion allows your app’s data to be seamlessly included in users' existing workflows.

  2. Rich Content Capabilities:

    • Pro: The Notion API allows you to create pages and databases with rich content, including text, images, lists, tables, and embedded content. This flexibility makes it easy to present data in a visually appealing and organized manner.

  3. Collaboration Features:

    • Pro: Notion is designed for collaboration, so any data outputted from your app can be easily shared and edited by teams. This is especially useful for collaborative projects or team-based tasks.

  4. Real-time Sync and Access:

    • Pro: Data integrated into Notion via the API is accessible in real-time across all devices where the Notion app is used. This ensures that users always have the latest information at their fingertips.

  5. Customizable Databases:

    • Pro: Notion’s database features are highly customizable, allowing users to filter, sort, and view data in various ways, such as Kanban boards, calendars, lists, and tables. This flexibility can enhance how your app’s data is utilized.

  6. No Need for Data Hosting:

    • Pro: By using Notion as the output platform, you leverage Notion’s infrastructure for data storage and management, reducing the need for separate data hosting or management solutions.

Cons of Using Notion API:

  1. Limited API Features:

    • Con: The Notion API, while powerful, has limitations in terms of the number of requests you can make per minute and the types of operations you can perform. Some advanced Notion features may not be fully accessible via the API.

  2. Learning Curve:

    • Con: While Notion is user-friendly, the API can have a learning curve, especially if you need to manage complex integrations or large volumes of data. Properly setting up and maintaining the integration might require some effort.

  3. Dependency on Third-Party Platform:

    • Con: Relying on Notion means your app’s functionality is partly dependent on the availability and stability of the Notion platform. Any downtime or changes in the Notion API could affect your app’s performance.

  4. Data Portability:

    • Con: Once data is stored in Notion, exporting it for use in other tools or platforms might be less straightforward compared to using a more universally accepted format like .XLSX. Users may face challenges if they want to migrate data out of Notion.

  5. Cost Considerations:

    • Con: While Notion offers a free tier, advanced features and higher usage may require a paid subscription. Depending on the scale of your integration, this could introduce additional costs for your users or your app.

  6. Limited Control Over Data Presentation:

    • Con: While Notion provides flexible views and formatting, you may have limited control over how data is presented compared to creating custom outputs in other formats, such as PDF

Integrating Django with an SQLite3 database for managing your data while using React Native for the frontend of a mobile app is a solid choice, especially for applications that don't require a complex or large-scale backend. Here’s how you can approach this setup:

Overview of the Architecture

Backend:

  • Django: A powerful Python-based web framework that will act as the backend server, handling API requests, managing the database, and serving data to the React Native frontend.
  • SQLite3: A lightweight, file-based database system that will be used by Django for data storage. SQLite3 is suitable for smaller applications and is easy to set up and manage.

Frontend:

React Native: A framework for building mobile applications that work on both Android and iOS using JavaScript and React.

Okay let's go with Django~
