I'm really glad you put a lot of focus into automatically tracking the things the user is likely interested in. I tried using Obsidian, but it felt like I was spending more…

This is really fantastic. I've played around with Obsidian periodically, but it's difficult to groom and maintain. This approach seems more manageable. I'd like to start using…

I was worried about yet another note taking app post on HN but I have to admit the Chrome Extension/Inbox part is a fresh idea and really intriguing.

This is a great concept, especially the link tracking. One of my early research papers was about a tab reorganisation UI that tracked the links you clicked to reorganise your…

Not OP but main gripe is that it fails to integrate with native environments and for efficiency-orentied note taking app losing that efficiency edge native environments provide…

Here's a pretty good HN thread that highlights some criticisms of Electron: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18733989

Very cool, even if I hate electron. :P

Vaporware is better than going nowhere! (Get it...noware...haha). Congrats on getting started. I agree with Obsidian - I think that most people forget the maintenance time it…

This is unreadable for me, and I'd welcome any suggestions as to what I can do to my setup to make it readable by default. To see why, here's a section of screenshot:…

Very cool! Hope you might consider adding a Firefox extension too

Do you then sync to a real CouchDB? Or, do you use PouchDB server on the backend, or otherwise? I'm interested in understanding how you eventually translate to Graph4j and how…

> Insight 3: Knowledge discoverability is a problem. Say your KMS is 5-10 years old with thousands of notes/ pieces of information, how do you sort through it? I think this is…

I believe knowledge discoverability can only be solved with NLP. Parse every article a user reads, extract topics, keywords, key concepts and store it is whatever your storage…

It is definitely possible to sync with CouchDB. I've just found that the uncertainty around how to do authz/authn (CouchDB recommends, now, that you do this in your own proxy…

I actually feel the opposite about Obsidian: finally a note app that feels native with powerful keyboard/action shortcuts, vim navigation and great categorization (graphs,…

There is also https://getmemex.com/ which runs as a chrome extension. My old personal KMS had a feature to load the local chrome history and display my activity on the daily…

there is another Memex project with a Firefox extension. https://github.com/WorldBrain/Memex

Tree Style Tabs browser extension sounds relevant to what you're describing https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab

This is interesting. We at OrgPad.com try to do something a bit different but still in the related/ almost same space - we want to make a system usable for normal people, not for…
