Turning Notion pages into a real help center

A lot of small companies already write their documentation in Notion. It's where the team lives, so it's where the knowledge ends up. The problem is what happens when you want customers to read it.

Sharing a raw Notion page works, sort of. But it doesn't look like your product, it isn't searchable in a way customers expect, and it doesn't feel like a real help center.

So I built Engine. You point it at the Notion pages you already have, and it turns them into a self-service knowledge base your customers can actually use. You keep writing in Notion. Your customers get something that looks and behaves like a proper docs site.

This was my first paid side project that people kept paying for, and it grew into 4 figures of ARR. That milestone mattered more to me than the number itself. It was the first time I'd built something where strangers decided it was worth money.

It's still running at engine.so.
