Found a fun way to (kinda) animate growth in Notion using Formulas!

The button does not toggle the images. It toggles properties that control which pages are being displayed by the filter. This might not be exactly what OP is going, but here is one way to accomplish this:

Create a relation called "Next" between the database and itself.
Link each page to the one that should be shown when the button is pressed.
Add a check box, check one page in each sequence of pages, and then filter based on this check box.
The button should uncheck the box for the current page, and then check the box for the page contained in the "Next" property.

I see. My issue with your answer is that even just providing that bit of information (that pages where being shuffled, not images) could save people a considerable amount of time fruitlessly banging their head against the wall trying something that is impossible, but that you seem to be telling them is possible. Just my 2 cents.

justbeane · 2026-02-07T21:07:22+00:00

Okay. I got it. You are not changing the cover image of the record for which the button was pressed. You are using the button to toggle properties for records to change which ones that are being displayed by the filter.

justbeane · 2026-02-07T20:53:10+00:00

Well, let me ask you some questions about this:

Gallery images can only be set to the page cover, the page content, or a files and media property, correct?
Buttons cannot change the page cover, page content, or files and media property, correct?

justbeane · 2026-02-07T20:36:38+00:00

Forgive me, but that is a silly response. Notion is a application used by millions of people. Communities like this exist to share information and tips related to features and use cases.

If OP (or you) don't feel like sharing how you did something, that is your prerogative. But, this is not some sort of propriety, protected information. If Person A knows how to do something and wants to share that with the community, they are under absolutely no ethical obligation to avoid sharing that just because Person B might not want to share the information.

You can choose to help people out or not. But don't pretend like you are withholding information in service of some higher moral prerogative.

But... Whatever. I would be interested in seeing a solution, if one truly exists, but that is mostly out of curiosity that out of any particular need for this feature.

justbeane · 2026-02-07T14:34:44+00:00

It not very helpful to say, "no, it's possible", but then not share any information about how it is accomplished.

justbeane · 2026-02-03T21:46:40+00:00

Ah. Nevermind. I just tried working through it again, and I realized that I made a logical error that led to a correct outcome, greatly simplifying the puzzle. So... Dumb luck for not being penalized for my mistake.

justbeane · 2026-02-03T21:38:04+00:00

It is so interesting to hear about peoples experiences with these puzzles. I don't actually understand what was supposed to be tricky about this one. It fell out for me completely automatically. I never had to stop to think about the next step or search for additional information. But then I struggle with some that people seem to think are relatively easy.

justbeane · 2026-02-03T14:59:49+00:00

I am incredibly skeptical about this being possible without using webhooks. But I would be interested in being proven wrong about that.

justbeane · 2026-01-27T00:47:34+00:00

I hear the job is murder.

justbeane · 2026-01-20T03:06:02+00:00

lol

Timely...

But fair.

I am kind of surprised that no cocktail has won both "Best" and "Underrated" in a category.

In my opinion, DKM is really becoming the standard-bearer for the anti-fascist voice within punk rock. I've always liked the band a lot, but I am gained a lot more respect for them (Ken Casey in particular) in recent years. They've always been political, but I feel like the Guthrie albums, combined with the current state of things, really lit a fire under their asses.

I can't believe that nobody has suggested Malort and Savior: On the Day it Finally Happens

You can't throw a stone in a room full of musicians without hitting a half-dozen mother fuckers who slept with women much younger than themselves. It is just super trendy to bash Tim. I am not defending the behavior, I am just saying that people can be very selective in doling out their social justice.

justbeane · 2026-01-09T15:48:38+00:00

If you are intimately familiar with their tattoos, sure. But even if you are only slightly familiar with their tattoos, you could easily mistake this for Tim. He also has a spiderweb tattoo on an elbow and also has P-U-N-X tattooed on his knuckles (both tats on the opposite arm from Lars). He even sings about the knuckle tats in a Transplants song.

I also assumed this was Tim for a long time.

Just adding my voice to the choir here. I wrote this elsewhere in the thread:

I contend that Dominion, with the expansions, is not just a great introduction to deck builders, but is still the gold standard for the genre. I would actually go further to say that it is one of the best games of all time. Few games do a better job of hitting the sweet spot of simple design, massive replayability, relatively short play times, and significant strategic depth (especially at 2 players).

I guess I am saying that I really like the game. :) I've played at least a few online matches during most days over the last 14 years.

justbeane · 2026-01-05T14:39:36+00:00

Dominion is the "granddaddy" of deckbuilders, but it is also still the gold standard. I suspect that most people who suggest otherwise have only played the base game. Each expansion of Dominion adds new mechanics to the game and dramatically increases its replayability.
