A Notion-Chrome Extension for categorizing and synthesizing knowledge

ResearchPRO is Notion-Chrome Extension that allows you to do two things: (1) Create and categorize web-highlights on any website or pdf and sync them in real-time into Notion. With buckets, and the SHIFT SHIFT shortcut, you can do this all on the fly. Defining a new bucket or category, creates a toggleable lists of grouped highlights in the Notion page of your choosing, which allows you to keep track of ideas and references across different articles. (2) Export bibliographies for a given research “topic.” Of course this just allows you to bucket links related to a given topic, if you need to…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

ResearchPRO is Notion-Chrome Extension that allows you to do two things: (1) Create and categorize web-highlights on any website or pdf and sync them in real-time into Notion. With buckets, and the SHIFT SHIFT shortcut, you can do this all on the fly. Defining a new bucket or category, creates a toggleable lists of grouped highlights in the Notion page of your choosing, which allows you to keep track of ideas and references across different articles. (2) Export bibliographies for a given research “topic.” Of course this just allows you to bucket links related to a given topic, if you need to go back later and remember them. As an analyst way back when, I needed to draft a lot of market research documents. The first big part of that job was reading and extracting information from a variety of sources and text (sometimes just copy and paste), which I would pull into a document and later synthesize into something distributable. Just trying to keep track of snippets of text that I wanted to reference later and my sources was a massive manual pain. As an avid reader and internet explorer, I had the same problem. I was constantly coming across articles that had some great idea which I wanted to preserve and connect to other ideas I was reading elsewhere - but I couldn’t find a great note-taking and web-annotating engine for this type of on-the-fly referencing. And certainly not one for Notion, which is my document editor of choice. So I built it myself. Partly, its an ode to the pain points above and partly to I should say I was influenced heavily by the memex ideas and man-computer symbiosis that a lot of the early computer pioneers discussed. This is certainly not that idea in its entirety - but it is something in a similar vain. I wanted a way to capture and categorize and synthesize the knowledge extraction process, and a second-brain repository to do it in, that I could reference back later. I use it now as a second brain for ideas and things I come across. I hope you all love it, and absolutely would LOVE honest feedback. It is behind a paywall, because honestly I wanted to test my ability to make something that people pay for. There is a 14 day free trial, and its only 4/month which is one good cup of coffee. However, if people really want to use it and engage here and upvote this because they’re interested - and the free trial is not enough time - I’m happy to pass in some sort of coupon code for anyone who reaches out directly. The demo and landing page are here - [https://www.researchpro.club/](https://www.researchpro.club/... which add a good visual reference to the product. Chrome extension is linked.
