24 alternatives to What We Learned
I built this because I kept seeing the same thing happen. A meeting would end, everyone would feel aligned and we’d move on. It felt productive. But a few weeks later, the same misunderstandings would show up again. It wasn’t that people weren’t paying attention. We just never paused long enough to capture what we learned while it was still fresh. Retros felt too heavy for everyday decisions. Shared docs didn’t really solve it — the first person to write would shape everyone else’s answer. So I made something intentionally small. At the end of a meeting, it asks three questions: – What…

Hey HN! Like most here regular meetings have always been a big part of my work. Over the years I've learned the value of active note taking in these meetings. Meaning: not minutes, not transcriptions or AI summaries, but me using my brain to actively pull out the key points in short form bullet-like notes, as the meeting is going on, as I'm talking and listening (and probably typing with one hand). This could be agenda points to cover, any interesting sidebars raised, insights gotten to in a discussion, actions agreed to (and a way to track whether they got done next time!). It's both useful…

I've been working on Recall for a while now, it had some initial traction in the beginning which has since died down now. I am facing the inevitable question of whether to continue with the project. I just put out a new release and it would be helpful to get advice from the community on what they think of the idea and my implementation.

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.

Bindly▲76Hi HN, I’m a product designer by background, not a traditional software engineer. Over the last year, tools like Claude and ChatGPT completely changed how I work. I started with small internal tools, and now I’m “vibe coding” multiple highly personalized apps. As I iterated between Claude Code (implementation) and ChatGPT (ideation / thinking), I kept running into the same problem. To think clearly, I had to repeatedly re-explain: - what the code currently does, - what changed recently, - and why certain decisions were made. That re-summarization step became a real bottleneck. So I…

Hi HN, I’m a solo maker and I built a very small tool after noticing a recurring problem in my meetings. I used to ask open questions like: “How are we feeling about this?” “Any concerns?” “Thoughts?” The pattern was always the same: a few people spoke, some nodded, many stayed silent. In the moment, it felt aligned. Weeks later, execution slowed and people realized they’d understood the decision differently. I experimented with a constraint instead of more discussion. At the end of a meeting, everyone answers with one word. No explanations. No defending. No context. What surprised me was…

In many planning meetings, everything sounds important. So everything stays. Weeks later, progress slows not because people aren’t working hard, but because attention is split across too many “priorities.” I kept seeing the same pattern: teams avoid prioritization not out of laziness but because it forces uncomfortable trade offs. So I built a small tool called What Comes First. It removes scoring frameworks and debate and forces a single constraint: if only one thing can be first, what actually comes first? This started as an internal exercise. I built it solo and used Notion heavily to…

4 months ago sucked. Our technical co-founder quit after 6 months and we still had no product. My co-founder and I had been 'working' on our startup for 8 months. I say 'working' because as the "business people" - there wasn't a whole lot we could do except philosophize. We had gotten really awesome intros to some of the top VCs and entrepreneurs, but had nothing to show. And now we felt stranded. Had we wasted 8 months of our lives? Identity crisis? Check. So we did what any rational person would do - we ran to the mountains. Literally. In Boone, NC - we talked about why we started Knowit,…

Even though Wave was killed more than 10 years ago, I didn't fully appreciate its value until recently, when I had to spend a fair amount of time in some group email threads discussing complex subjects. Would using chat instead solve the problem? Not really. In my opinion, chats are great for exchanging quick single-line replies. But to have a real discussion and arrive at a meaningful conclusion, we actually need more structure, not less structure. Which made me realize I wanted a product that worked exactly like Wave, but without some of its annoying features. In my opinion, the real-time…

ScatterNote▲10I really struggle to keep my notes organised, and often can't make any sense of hand written notes after meetings. I did some experiments with Claude and ChatGPT where I blast random thoughts at them during a meeting or brainstorming session and then have them output a nice document that pulls it all together at the end. It worked incredibly well but it was a bit cumbersome to keep sending messages to the chat and telling the ai each time what to do. So I took the idea and built a tool, it makes it easy to throw random notes and voice recordings (images and document support on the way) and…
