I've been working on this tool that lets you build a personal knowledge graph from articles, blog posts, podcasts, YouTube videos, and other content you find interesting online. You can safely forget everything and trust that Recall will resurface it when something new that is related comes up. Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback on how it could be improved! The original version of Recall was posted last year nov on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33425947 Since then I have pivoted to a browser extension.

Speed Reader▲99I built a Chrome extension for speed reading using RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation). One day I came across research on RSVP — a technology that allows you to read 2-3x faster without losing comprehension. That's how Speed Reader was born — a free Chrome extension that lets you read faster right in your browser. The main feature is automatic article parsing. Open any page, click one button, and the extension extracts the text, removing ads and clutter. It also highlights the ORP (Optimal Recognition Point) — the natural focus point in each word. Free, no ads, no data collection.…

Skim▲141I built Skim because I was super dissatisfied with all existing Windows clients. I mean, it's not a rocket science, there should be some lightweight modern solution, isn't it? So I decided to create a client that just, you know, MAKES SENSE and has design younger than dinosaurs. Key points: * Obsessed with installer size: it should be under 5Mb. * BYOK AI. Cowriter, agentic search, summarization and other AI stuff is powered by your own key for Anthropic/Openrouter, or you can connect your own OpenAI-compatible server (including local) * No bloat. It should be as contextual as possible:…

recall▲43I have been bouncing off flashcards because making them by hand has been always a tedious task. Recall runs as an MCP server - you can connect it to Claude or Chatgpt, point your handwritten or typed notes (PDFs, docs, or even a Notion Page), and it writes Q&A cards straight into a deck. You could even ask Claude or Chatgpt to research on a topic and do the same without having the need to make notes. Then you review them with the FSRS spaced repetition algorithm. Built it solo over the last 2 weeks. Stack used: Next.js, Drizzle + Neon, ts-fsrs for scheduling It's a paid product - no card…
