Researchspace vs Notion-style databases.

Document databases are flexible. Researchspace is narrower on purpose: fast capture, link search, private notes, and clean public directories.

Use a document database when

  • Your research needs custom fields, formulas, tables, and rich project documentation.
  • The link collection is one part of a larger team wiki or operating system.
  • You want to design the database structure yourself.

Use researchspace when

  • You want a purpose-built place for links rather than another configurable workspace.
  • You want private notes and public links to have a simple boundary.
  • You care about sharing a clean directory under a short public handle.
  • You prefer capture and retrieval over designing templates.
