Hey Product Hunt, Ian from Portal here We built Portal because because of the pain points we experienced in past jobs: 1. Rarely having the data we needed because it sat in systems only engineers had access to 2. Relying on engineers to build internal tools for us that were slow, poorly maintained, and had no features built on top of it 3. Strongly preferring well-designed tools like Notion, but finding it hard to use Notion as a data read/write tool. We wanted the amazing user experience that products like Notion has to offer, while getting access to all of the data and features that come with a true backend database (without ever needing to wait on an engineer for support). *Enter Portal!* We bring all the powerful features of a Postgres database into Notion. How? We connect your Notion and Postgres database to sync data both ways. That way all your data actually lives in Postgres, but you can use Notion as your interface to read & write data without ever having to look at your Postgres. Why is this better? Postgres is a scalable backend that companies need, but isn’t built for business teams with no technical background — who often rely on engineers to get data for them. Notion is one of the best and most versatile no-code tools out used by individuals for personal-use and at the enterprise level. But Notion has a bunch of constraints (e.g. slows down with large # of rows, can’t put unique constraints on any column, and you can’t easily integrate it with your tech stack) We’re already live with a range of companies and are super excited to open our doors to the Product Hunt community. And let us know what you think down below, we’d love to hear your thoughts and and answer any questions. Have questions or comments about other databases, data warehouses, or SaaS tools you want to sync data to? Let us know in the comments! Happy syncing, Ian
