Your team is sitting on a goldmine of user insights.
But if they’re scattered across PDFs, Slack threads, meeting notes, and feedback docs—you’re not mining anything.
That’s where a research repository comes in: a centralized space to store, tag, and retrieve everything you’ve learned from your users. Even better? You don’t need to code or buy another SaaS tool to build one.
In this post, we’ll show you how to build a powerful UX research repository using Notion + Figma, and how to use Clipbo.red to capture insights on the fly before they disappear.
🧠 Why Every Team Needs a Research Repository
A research repo helps you:
- Avoid repeating the same studies
- Make user insights accessible to product, design, and devs
- Show the value of research over time
- Connect findings to decisions
“If it’s not accessible, it might as well not exist.” — Every UX researcher ever
🛠️ Tools You’ll Need
| Tool | Use |
|---|---|
| Notion | Repository base: organize studies, tag insights, centralize access |
| Figma | Annotate user flows, embed research visuals |
| Clipbo.red | Instantly capture raw quotes, pain points, feedback, and tag them later |
🧱 Step 1: Create a Research Repository Template in Notion
Your database should include fields like:
- Title of Study
- Objective / Problem
- Participant Type
- Summary
- Key Insights
- Tags (pain points, themes, product areas)
- Related Features or Figma Files
Use Notion templates to streamline this across multiple studies.
🎯 Step 2: Link Research to Visuals in Figma
Great insight deserves great context. In Figma:
- Annotate user journey maps with quotes or pain points
- Show before/after designs with related findings
- Use links in Notion to embed key Figma frames or prototypes
This helps teams see the impact of your research.
📎 Step 3: Capture Raw Feedback with Clipbo.red
Here’s where most systems break down: during the research phase.
You’re in interviews. You’re browsing reviews. You’re collecting Slack messages from users. But where do you put these before the study is formalized?
Use Clipbo.red as your research inbox:
- Copy raw quotes, observations, user struggles
- Tag them loosely (e.g., “onboarding”, “dashboard”)
- Review later and paste into your structured Notion repo
📋 It’s the fastest way to go from feedback in the wild → structured insights you can act on
🔁 Research Workflow Example
- Run a user interview → Clip highlights and quotes into Clipbo.red
- After the call → Review clips and paste into your Notion study template
- Tag insights and link related Figma screens
- Present findings with clarity and visual context
You just built a lightweight, no-code research system your whole team can use.
🔄 Bonus: Turn Insights into To-Dos
Clipbo.red also lets you:
- Convert insights into product tasks
- Track bugs or pain points without needing a project management app
- Sync across devices so you can capture feedback anytime, anywhere
