Notion

“It also builds things for me, which has always been part of where I get lost in Notion. I get stuck playing around creating everything, instead of actually using the system. Since I can explain it all and Claude will build it, it has eliminated that part of the problem.”

“I mainly use Notion for projects, notes, and keeping important things in one place without making the system too complicated.”

“These days nothing productive. For that switched to Obsidian.”

“The more stuff I have in Notion, the more value it provides me, so I shove basically everything into it.”

“What are some great notion templates for university?”

“It is su helpful to have one page to find everything connected and organized.”

“I use Notion to stay organized.”

“I've gone through a few phases with Notion. At first I tried to make it handle basically everything, then slowly stripped it back. Now I mostly use it for project stuff, reference pages and keeping track of things I don't want scattered across five different apps.”

“I’ve put together a Notion database: 📚 210 Plenary, Oral & Mini Oral presentations 📝 181 summaries of abstracts released so far 🏷️ Biomarker, stage & treatment tags”

“PS: Checkout the notion API and its integration options, it's not that difficult for a developer to setup.”

“My notion for a long project looks exactly the same. I think the structure is fine, the problem is nobody’s there to enforce the discipline of updating it.”

“Working on an indie game on the side and Notion is where I track everything. Design docs, sprint tasks, bug logs, random ideas at 2am that may or may not be brilliant.”

“I‘m not an expert in Notion. Image 2 looks great, haven’t seen that before and I’m also curious how to change the design.”

“Templates aren't very useful in my experience.”

“Have been doing this for months for better context memory, tried obsidian, GitHub, but for a truly freeing experience where you see information compounding visually, be it GPT or Claude, notion ironically is a perfect fit. Especially when the AI can keep it organized.”

“I think they are an established firm with an interest to provide best in class product experience”

“The problem with Notion which has happened to me as well, is that most people try to perfect the system rather than actually solving the problem with the solution they thought they would get by using Notion lol so then people create all these convoluted systems that don’t really do anything useful besides hoarding “data”.”

“Which Notion template actually stuck for you, and what were you using before that didn't?”

“Why does the official Notion Web Clipper completely destroy code blocks and tables? I use Notion daily for technical research and saving docs, but every time I clip a page, the code blocks get flattened into plain unformatted text and tables lose formatting.”

“Native Notion can get fairly close if the dashboard is treated as a navigation layer: keep one source database, then use linked views filtered to favorites, recent items, and each platform/category. Rollups and formulas can handle counts and simple stats, while columns and callouts make the page feel less like a raw database.”

“You can get surprisingly close with a few linked database views, filtered views, and rollups for the stats and cards, but Notion will still feel like database blocks. If the second design depends on richer charts or a single polished layout, keeping Notion as the data layer and adding a separate front end is probably the cleaner path.”

“I’ve been trying to build an AI Knowledge Hub / Second Brain in Notion.”

“Notion plus a local memory folder, no vector DB. One thing I’d add to your setup. I ended up with three tiers instead of two. Chat is RAM, a local folder of small markdown files is the agent’s own disk, and Notion is the shared drive humans actually read.”

“Notion's free plan doesn't have a storage cap like Drive's 15GB — you're right about that”

“I vastly prefer Obsidian. Many of my workmates live in Notion. And if this is for work there's likely a knowledge management platform they'd prefer you to put your notes in, such as OneNote or Confluence.”
