Understand and thanks again.

That’s a really interesting split: daily “historical log” for recall (3 years later), plus a separate work vault where docs are essentially a living project index. That’s a very sane way to avoid turning everything into one giant, overfit s

Thanks for your support! And you’re right, what you described is very much the enterprise version of this problem (curated corpora + Jira/Confluence + compliance). Just to clarify my scope: I’m starting with a personal, individual work

On “notes are all actions”: I think we’re using the word “action” differently. I don’t mean “notes should become todos”. I mean “notes should resolve into an explicit state”: either it becomes a commitment (calendar/todo), or it become

Weekly is often the sweet spot because it gives ideas/time to “gel” into something worth acting on, without turning your life into a constant triage loop. And +1 on not rewarding tool-churn. The goal isn’t a more elaborate system, it’s

You’re basically describing “search that expands context”: start from the matches, then follow outbound links (and maybe one more hop), index the linked pages/snippets, and treat that neighborhood as the result set. The killer feature

This is super helpful, thanks. The “search as a context switch” point is real, and the 80/15/5 split (Jira/Slack/Confluence) matches what I’ve seen too. On the compliance point: totally fair. To clarify, I’m not assuming

I think we might be talking past each other a bit. I’m not trying to build “a better personal library manager” or “AI search over your notes”. The core idea is goal-first: you set a small number of active targets/projects, and the syst

One pattern that may help (without heavy re-org) is to treat those snippets as first-class items with a stable home, and only link them out: - keep an “inbox / snippets” note (or a single folder) where every orphan snippet goes - give

A fixed daily slot really can turn into another obligation (and then the backlog becomes guilt again), whereas a lightweight “I’m in curiosity mode” toggle matches how attention actually works. The driving “radio” use case also suggests the

I think (2) is the hardest: even if you saved it, it only feels “great” when it matches your current context and mental model. When you tried the twin brain/second mind approaches, what specifically failed for you? Was it capture overh

I like your “I’m not sure, but there might be a solution…” phrasing because it sets the right expectation and invites exploration without pretending certainty. One thing I’m thinking about is making every suggestion come with a short confid

by item007 8mo ago
I appreciate the framing. I think a lot of “second brain” attempts fail the cost/benefit test unless there’s a very specific, narrow use case. The “git docs dir / pkm fragment” idea is exactly the kind of wedge that feels realisti

In Concerns the “action” isn’t generic, it’s anchored to a target/project you set first. The flow I’m exploring is: you define a small number of active targets (e.g. “ship feature X”, “prepare for interview Y”). Then when you save&#x2F

It seems like most software now integrates LLM... Can't escape it, sigh. The mymind you recommended has made significant strides toward tackling “information overload” and “organization fatigue.” However, I feel it remains fundamentall

by item007 8mo ago
This is a super interesting (and refreshingly candid) direction. You’re basically building a local-first “life event ledger” with delayed sync. Actually, I'm not an expert in this area, but I feel the challenge may not lie in data coll

As mentioned in my current Ask HN post, the product is indeed not yet finalized or launched. The envisioned product, Concerns, acts as a bridge, linking your current concerns and target tasks to your knowledge base/resource repository

That’s another strong point, and I think it’s the pragmatic default: shrink scope, keep one source of truth, enforce a repeatable format, and prune on a cadence. It’s basically how you keep both retrieval and any automation predictable. The

by item007 8mo ago
That’s a really important definition of “zero setup”: no long-running indexing jobs, and no “crunch for 24 hours on my laptop” just to make search usable. And I hear you on cross-network fragmentation — in a lot of real environments the har

by item007 8mo ago
That makes sense — treating it as a personal search engine is a real, high-ROI use case. Full-text search covers the “I remember the idea but not where I saw it” problem really well. Out of curiosity, what’s the bigger win for you: full-tex

by item007 8mo ago
That’s a brutally honest metric, and I think it’s common: most “save for later” is really “offload for now”. The fact you only resurfaced twice doesn’t mean the tool failed — it might mean the capture filter is too loose, or resurfacing is

by item007 8mo ago
That makes total sense. Latency kills the workflow, and “advertised as AI” carries baggage even if the underlying technique is harmless. One nuance: the way I’m thinking about this isn’t “you type a query and wait for an LLM”. It’s more lik

That’s a great breakdown — thank you. The “root note as a homepage” + three lists feels like the simplest re-entry surface. Quick question: do you keep those lists purely time-based (recently updated/created), or do you also include an

by item007 8mo ago
That’s a really thoughtful distinction. I like how you separate “write-only but still valuable” (emotional clarity / self-understanding) from “collection of facts” (laying pieces on the table until a structure emerges). The “notes aren

Thanks. If there is indeed significant demand, we will definitely keep you updated on the latest progress.

by item007 8mo ago
That’s a great pruning heuristic. Is this mostly about notes/links, or do you apply the same rule to other inputs too (email, chat threads, bookmarked posts, PDFs, repos, etc.)? For the non-note stuff, do you have a “recently touched”
27.
by item007 8mo ago
Totally agree — a recurring ritual beats any tool. Rewriting/distilling is basically how notes turn into something you can actually re-enter later. One nuance I’m exploring is making that weekly “fix notes” time the primary UX: during

by item007 8mo ago
I get that, and I think that distinction is healthy. “Knowledge base” can imply objective truth and completeness, which creates pressure. For a lot of us, what we store is really a snapshot of attention, curiosity, anxiety, and identity at

Per my understanding. AI makes things cheaper and simpler, but real human-made/produced goods will become a luxury in the future.

Summaries are a great first step — they reduce the friction of “re-reading”, and they can help you decide what’s actually worth keeping. The question I’m curious about is what happens after the summary: do you want it to end as “good to kno
