Description

Description

notion-client is an npm package that's part of this repository, with description "Robust TypeScript client for the unofficial Notion API." . I was wondering why it's used over the official @notionhq/client. I'm sure there's a reason (TS?) - but perhaps it should be mentioned in the docs along with some advice on how to choose between them.
