Hi @araza95, thank you for your interest.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Duplicate the Notion template
2. Change the Published field of one of the posts to February 1, 2024
3. Publish Notion page to web
4. Checkout main branch of this repo
5. Adjust rootNotionPageId in site.config.ts accordingly
6. Run yarn to install dependencies, yarn dev to start a development server

The Bug

• After going through above steps, you should be able to observe an unhandled runtime error, suggesting that text content does not match server-rendered URL
  • The error is gone after changing the Published field to any date that is not the first day of a month
• As per my findings the cause is that the publish date on the bottom left corner of the blog posts on website homepage does not match the one you entered on Notion
  • Remember you set the Published field to February 1, 2024 in step 2, but on the homepage it appears to be Jan 1, 2024, which is one month earlier.
• The bug is present regardless of the month as long as the day is the first day of the month
• If Published is set to January 1, 2024, the publish date on the website homepage becomes Dec 1, 2024

Please let me know if more clarification is required. :)
