“i just started using notion after seeing one of my friends use it and she said it was a good app. i've looked up tutorials for some things but i want to see if there was a way to make it so i can have some pages have different properties being shown than others.”
“If you're using Notion to manage clients, deals, or leads what's the one thing you wish it did automatically? Or what keeps you stuck using spreadsheets on the side?”
“I've found that Relation properties tend to get messy and any Formula properties based off of those relationship properties end up needing to be rewritten. But as far as I know, that's the only issue that has come when I moved databases between different workspaces.”
“The thing I keep running into is that relations and rollups feel like they were built for one type of work. Clean project, clean deliverable, done. My PT work does not fit that shape and neither does writing tutorials where half the value is the rabbit holes you go down.”
“My agent (a project-manager AI) treats Notion as its persistent memory: every architectural decision, every lesson learned, every project fact gets written to a CONTEXT file synced to Notion, and reloaded at the start of every session.”
“I've built a couple small scripts that pipe data into Notion via the API but nothing that clean, mostly just automating meeting notes and tracking my homebrew batches lol. the auto-related notes thing is clever, might have to steal that idea”
“After testing various web clipper extensions for Notion, I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, so I built my own. It can open pages in a super clean reader mode that lets me highlight text on any webpage, automatically save those pages to a Notion database (preserving the highlights), and automatically sync all future highlights to the Notion page.”
“Yeah, I understand your problem 100%, because I also have a similar problem with this for the client portals and collaborators. I was also searching for a solution and couldn't find one that would work without maintaining a system around it.”
“Notion is great for this and AI enables me to populate fields with data found on several sources including the web. I can also improve my workfow by proposing ways to improve my notion environment.”
“The "Created by" filter pulling in every guest regardless of whether they've ever touched a page is a weird oversight. It's basically a people directory dressed up as a search filter.”
“I haven’t been on notion for a few months, just downloaded it back today and I noticed that the lines on my pages were wrong, the line was now so long it counted as two lines. I don’t know how to verbalize the issue properly so I hope that makes sense, but it basically wasn’t how it was before.”
“The filtered view thing is a nightmare, the permissions just aren't real boundaries in Notion. Expiring access is the one thing that'd make me stop holding my breath every time I send a link, knowing it auto-destructs takes the edge off.”
“I've been doing something similar in Notion with backlinks and templates, and it's weirdly satisfying once you stop fighting the system and just let everything be a page with properties.”
“So my question to you is, do have this feature available to you now? And if so, do you think we can reliably use it without a fear that it will be removed again?”
“Before, gallery/board views would show blocks that could fit within range (ie. height). However, a while ago, Notion changed it so the FIRST block is what shows... whether it's a text, image, etc.”
“What I'm less sure about: rollups get slow once an Inventory item has 50+ linked Evidence rows, and I haven't found a great way to archive old evidence without breaking the relation. Anyone dealt with that at scale?”
“Is it possible to have a second Claude account, my virtual assistant, connect to my Notion database remotely? But I only want him connecting to a specific database in my Notion. And do I need to pay for a 2nd seat just for him to do this and nothing else”
“if you just need a place for docs and light presentations, notion itself can do a lot more now with the new layout options, unless you’re handing slides to clients who expect the real powerpoint file.”
“Notion is great for organizing your classes, notes, assignments, and having everything connected in one workspace, while Google Drive is better suited for keeping the actual files and folders.”
“Grok is the best external agent at using Notion. Why? Because the team who built Grok Bot use Notion every day and a number of them are Notion alums.”
“Honestly for school, I'd keep the bulky raw files in Drive and use Notion for notes, summaries, and linking to the Drive files. Best of both worlds without nuking either quota.”
“I am highly toward notion because there isn't a limit in how much GB you can have in total in your workplace. But I know that Google drive have a 15gb limit including Gmail, photos, docs,etc all counted inside and I am not looking to upgrade it.”
“I switched it off at my earliest convenience. But I use Notion to store, track, and display things I specifically created, I don't use it for workflows with a bunch of busy work.”
“oh this is really interesting as I’m currently trying to maximise how I’m using Claude and Notion. Would you be willing to share some of the ways you’re using these please?”
“Super super useful. Can basically use Notion as a backend information store and use chat as the ui. Ask it to look up anything, change anything, update multiple things at once and make complex connections just based on simple instructions.”
