    Hey HN, I am a student shipping apps in my free time. This is my 4th for the year! Non-fic books and podcasts have been part of my life for years now but I always struggled with remembering what I’ve read or listened to. I wanted it to stick even after years. My notes list grew large but I never really revisited them. That’s why I created GinkgoNotes. You can enter notes you want to recall and leave it to the app to create a personalised (based on spaced repetition) email schedule. That means you’ll get your notes emailed to you a couple of times exactly when you should read them again…

    Saner.AI▲677

    Initially, we thought about this feature due to a bug in our chat interface. And surprisingly, I noticed that POE has just released the same feature. But the distinction is: with us the Multi-bot is designed to streamline the notetaking/working experience -> It allows user to search for external knowledge without switching context Though we are still in the beta phase, I would love to hear your thought/feedback on it :)

    NodeLand▲533

    Hello, HN! Have you ever considered that you might be a visual thinker? A lot of studies emphasize the benefits of visual thinking in learning, as it activates different parts of the brain and enhances comprehension and retention. It is common, for example, to remind yourself of a concept by visualizing the page where you wrote it down. This is because the brain is more likely to remember visual information than text. Unlike traditional linear note-taking apps like Notion and Evernote, NodeLand introduces a revolutionary connection-based model. Everything you write is seamlessly integrated…

    Hi HN – we first launched Supernotes[1] to HN in April 2020, and since then Tobias and I (it's just the two of us) have put in the work to make what we hope is an amazing note-taking app. Although the note-taking / personal knowledge management landscape is incredibly competitive at the moment (with lots of great apps adding great new features every day), we think that with the newly released Supernotes 2 we're keeping pace and delivering a unique and satisfying knowledge management experience. Here's the combination of features that make us stand out: - a powerful markdown-based…
