notion portfolio alternative
notion is a general-purpose tool. timeline is purpose-built for personal chronology. no database schemas, no page permissions, no 'how do i hide this toggle from public readers'.
free to start · your URL is yours forever
notion portfolios are a config project
you spend four hours setting up a public page, picking cover images, fighting with the block layout, and explaining to yourself why the share settings on one sub-page keep resetting. when it's done, the URL is a UUID and the design is 'notion default'. timeline is the thing you wanted — without the setup.
what you get
a clean personal URL
lifetimeline.io/yourname. not notion.so/a-long-uuid-string. instantly memorable, instantly shareable.
design that was designed
Mist design system — warm neutrals, rounded corners, generous whitespace. premium feel out of the box, no custom CSS.
import, don't configure
upload a résumé PDF or DOCX. timeline structures the content into entries. no databases, no properties, no views.
portfolio view + timeline view
two presentations of the same content. notion would make you build each one from scratch.

what about the notion free tier?
timeline also has a permanent free tier. the difference is what you're getting for free — a purpose-built personal URL, not a note-taking app shoehorned into one.
