The Regret Index
The world’s first longitudinal archive of human decisions
What it does
Every day, millions of people face life-changing decisions - career moves, relationships, investments, migration - with almost zero structured data. Reddit has opinions. Google has articles. Nobody has outcomes. The Regret Index changes that. Users submit decisions, rate their regret, and share what they wish they’d known. We follow up at 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years. The result: the first dataset of human decision outcomes that evolves over time.

I've been on endless reddit threads on posts to gather all the info I needed to buy my legion go, my remarkable tablet, my new macbook, and I'd really love to find all their info under one page, extra points if an ai can summarize the pros and cons from the user answers(regrets.io…

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.
