Why Not Just Use Notion?

Notion is an excellent home for thinking: specs, wikis, project trackers, and linked databases. If your question is “where do I write?” Notion is often the answer.

If your question is “what did that webpage actually say on March 3?” a link block is a liability. Notion saves links. PageStash saves pages—screenshot, HTML, searchable text—into a workspace built for retrieval.

The failure mode

• The article is paywalled later.
• The pricing table updates.
• The 404 appears.
• The CMS strips the paragraph you quoted.

Your Notion page still shows the URL. The evidence is gone.

When Notion is enough

• Stable internal docs you control.
• PDFs you already uploaded as files.
• Manual copy-paste for short snippets (lossy for layout and long pages).

When you need an archive layer

• Competitive and market intel.
• Policy and compliance language.
• Research where link rot is unacceptable.

Stack them

Many power users keep Notion as the narrative layer and PageStash as the web capture layer. Write the memo in Notion; cite captures that will not vanish.

Try PageStash alongside your existing PKM—purpose-built for pages you must keep.
