A Shift Toward Real-Time Notion Widgets
This release represents a meaningful step forward in how Blocky widgets behave inside Notion.
Rather than treating embeds as static snapshots, widgets now function as live, responsive
elements that stay in sync with ongoing changes.
The focus of this update is clarity and immediacy.
When something changes, the result should be visible right away.
By tightening the connection between the editor, embed routes, and Notion pages,
Blocky widgets now feel more integrated and dependable across workflows.
Widgets Now Auto Sync After Editor Changes
Widgets now automatically sync after edits are made in the Blocky editor.
Once changes are saved, the embedded widget in Notion updates instantly.
No manual refresh is required.
No re-embedding is needed.
This improvement removes a common source of friction.
Previously, even small visual adjustments could require additional steps to reflect
inside Notion.
With auto sync enabled, edits flow directly from the editor to the embed route.
This behavior applies consistently across widget types.
Timers, charts, flashcards, quotes, and trackers all follow the same real-time update model.
The editor and embedded widget now operate as a single, cohesive system.
Pro Users: Datasource Widgets Now Auto Update
For Pro users, datasource-powered widgets now update automatically as data evolves.
Charts, flashcards, and quotes linked to a Notion datasource respond to changes without
requiring manual intervention.
Adding new fields, modifying existing properties, or expanding datasets no longer breaks
the flow.
Widgets remain aligned with their datasource, adapting as the underlying structure changes.
This creates a more flexible and resilient experience for advanced Notion setups.
Edit Widget Configuration Directly Inside Notion
Standard and Pro users can now edit widget configuration directly while the widget is
embedded in Notion.
This removes the need to reopen the Blocky editor to make changes.
Colors, timer settings, and visual options can be modified in place.
Changes apply immediately, allowing widgets to be refined in the exact context where
they are used.
The experience feels closer to editing a native Notion block than managing an external embed.
This capability is especially valuable for layout-driven workflows.
Visual balance, spacing, and theme alignment often depend on surrounding content.
Editing widgets directly inside Notion keeps creative momentum uninterrupted.
What This Update Changes for Daily Workflows
Together, these improvements reduce friction at every stage of widget usage.
Creating, refining, and maintaining widgets now requires fewer steps and less context
switching.
For collaborative workspaces, dashboards remain accurate without manual updates.
For individual users, iteration becomes faster and more intuitive.
Widgets stay current, responsive, and aligned with evolving needs.
This release reinforces Blocky’s commitment to making widgets feel native inside Notion.
The emphasis is not on flashy additions, but on eliminating the small inefficiencies
that slow real work.
