Raven – A Better System for Note-Taking
Hi HN! We are Tiago and Patrik. We're building an application to improve the process of taking notes and personal knowledge management. We met through the YC Co-Founder matching platform and we had a common interest of being heavy book readers. We also suffered from the same problem: using notes from books we read. The biggest problems with note-taking are: - Notes in physical books are hard to digitize without introducing significant friction. - People rarely revisit their notes due to poor organization, leading to notes being dumped into files that quickly become gigantic, unusable, and…

Hi HN! We are Tiago and Patrik. We're building an application to improve the process of taking notes and personal knowledge management. We met through the YC Co-Founder matching platform and we had a common interest of being heavy book readers. We also suffered from the same problem: using notes from books we read. The biggest problems with note-taking are: - Notes in physical books are hard to digitize without introducing significant friction. - People rarely revisit their notes due to poor organization, leading to notes being dumped into files that quickly become gigantic, unusable, and eventually forgotten. - Organizing notes requires a lot time and work. We are solving this by creating a system for the entire note-taking process. We make digitization easy with OCR and UX for selecting the desired text. Post-digitization, we use LLMs to effectively organize the content into an organized database. We categorize content by creating several layers of information that can be used at different times for different purposes: - Title: A short, one-sentence description of the entire note. This is very useful when searching through many notes. - Summary: A single paragraph that distills the information, acting as a thumbnail of the captured information. - Tags: Allows grouping notes based on common topics, regardless of the source. The goal is a system to make content as easy and efficient to navigate and use as possible, automating the process to save time and effort. To start with we’re targeting book readers, as this is the most straightforward application. However, we plan to expand this system to accommodate various types of content, including academic papers, articles, podcasts, and more. We’re launching our MVP and gathering feedback from our first users. If you’re interested, you can try it here: https://ravenapp.ai Any feedback is very welcome!

We just launched our startup tonight! It's called Fetchnotes, and it's a note-taking application for short notes like books to read, shopping lists and ideas. Check out our website at www.fetchnotes.com. We're on the web, Android, iPhone, Mac, Windows and Ubuntu — and you can even text or email in your notes. We were just covered in TechCrunch (http://tcrn.ch/IBfr9C), and we'd love for you to check it out and give us your feedback. You can send it to me (Alex Schiff) and my co-founder (Chase Lee) at [email protected], or use our UserVoice forum at fetchnotes.uservoice.com. Also, we're…

Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
