CSS still can’t animate to auto dimensions.
.dropdown {
transition: 0.2s;
height: 0;

Notion-Powered Websites
14.5.2020
I’m a big fan of Notion, as you likely know from previous coverage and recent video. It’s always interesting to see what other people do with Notion, and even how Notion uses Notion.
I’d say most usage of Notion is private and internal, but any page on Notion can be totally...
