    I built BetterSelf to solve a problem I kept running into: most of what we learn, we forget. Books, podcasts, and notes — valuable insights disappear in days. BetterSelf keeps your best lessons and ideas alive, reminding you over time so they actually stick. I use it every day, and it’s already helped me retain things I would have forgotten. I’m 19 and built this in about a month while experimenting with personal productivity tools. I’d love feedback from the HN community — anything you suggest will go straight into the app.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
