PKM Without Tool Sprawl: Add a Web Layer to Obsidian or Notion
Personal knowledge management tools are great for notes and links. They are weaker when you need forensic recall of what a web page said—especially months later.
Split responsibilities
- Notes app: synthesis, outlines, your words.
- Web archive (PageStash): full capture, screenshot, search inside pages.
Minimal integration
Paste PageStash clip URLs or source URLs into notes consistently. The win is not perfect sync—it is knowing your evidence lives in a searchable archive.
Why not “everything in Notion”?
Clippers that strip pages lose quotes and layout. For retrieval-first work, you want full text and visual proof.
