I spent two years bouncing between Notion and Squarespace, never quite satisfied with either. Writing in Notion felt natural—my whole research system lives there—but publishing meant manually stripping out page mentions, re-uploading images, and wrestling with block types. So I published directly on Notion instead. Simpler, but limiting. Now I'm back on Squarespace, and this time it actually works. Here's how I used Notion's agent functions and a bit of automation to bridge the gap between a connected writing system and a proper publishing platform.
