(I work at Notion, bias etc)
Think about how content of any kind ends up published:
1. Ideate - what do you want to make? Brainstorm, keep notes of ideas. Make plans.
2. Draft - put your ideas down in their native media. Write, paint, etc.
3. Revise, collaborate - polish things up, retouch photos, etc. Loop in your editor.
4. Distribute - publish your creation, so others can get it. Transform it into a form that's sharable. Focus on reach.
A product like like Squarespace is really only concerned with step (4) of the creative process - publishing to the web. So you'll need to do the rest of the steps with other tools; maybe just pencil and paper or maybe Google Docs, and then bring that content into Squarespace for distribution.
But, Notion does (at least a passible job at) all steps in this workflow, especially for text content. People use it for notes, then share privately to collaborate with comments. Publishing is a single switch to make a page public. We're not as fully-featured as a Wix; for example Notion doesn't offer analytics or advertising placement. But since we're pretty good at all the other stuff, it makes sense for people who like Notion to find a way to augment the publishing use-case with something like Potion.
