- I've been using this tool called Obsidian to do the same for me after reading this book called Building a Second Brain. - I like the idea of linking that Obsidian gives me. I think it's really powerful and something that has helped shape the way I think as well. Another thing I really like about Obsidian is that it allows you to write your own code and create plugins. - It seems like Meena is also trying to use Apple Notes or something similar to organise her thoughts and ideas. ### Problems 1. Recollection - Pasting links is a huge problem that I face constantly with my notes. Often I have to figure out what exactly to paste and what I end up doing is have a dump and then process each dump later when I get the time. It's often a tedious process to figure out how it fits in my organisation system and sometimes i do delete stuff because it doesn't fit nicely. - Having said that I think that how I store is quite important to the process and this rewriting and reorganising does help me a lot to actually synthesise the knowledge. 2. Knowledge Sharing - This is definitely something I do want to figure out particularly for my non-profit. How do I share what I have learned and what are things that I hold true. Also what is the content I've consumed that has got me to where I am . ### Product 1. One challenge I've found is that the written content is very easy to capture but audio, video, PDFs, communication, email etc are also places where I get notes. In particular taking notes from conversations I've had or noting down observations is also something I find incredibly challenging. Maybe something around meetings as well could be interesting. Rewind.ai has taken a very interesting approach. 2. I think the organisation is something that's deeply personal so I do agree that while auto suggesting is good, how you organise and how you curate is something that needs to be easy but at the same time personal. 3. Querying - Can you tell me more about the second point? 4. Collaboration - I think the collaboration part is also challenging in that sometimes you want people to access somethings and not others so I think a space for multiple level access is interesting. 5. Content Recommendation - I use pocket that also has taken this approach 6. Understanding - I think auto linking content could really help place your knowledge within other things that you know. That's one thing I really wish Obsidian did for me. Just so I know where this sits with respect to my idea of the world. 7. Enabling Creation - Definitely heard lot of people use their notes to actually form creation. I do think that this also is in a way a form of creation as well. While I think enabling a different form of creation is cool I think this medium itself is creative and personal. - In terms of getting users I wonder why you feel that the first ten should not pay in the early days. One thing I felt that I really was bad about with OpenOS was that we didn't charge early enough. - I agree that LLMs really can take notes to the next level and building a second brain opens up a lot more possibilities than before. - Obsidian's paid features are very interesting - the paid feature allows you to sync across devices or publish your work. Their model was really nice. It hooked me on and then got me to pay for the power features. - "Curation is creation" I think this is something that's very powerful. I do think an angle exists here for sure as well. - I think there are some interesting possibilities to go down with differentiation. I do think there are some interesting ideas to explore here that can give sufficient product differentiation.
