It's an "Effortless Knowledge Base".
The idea is that we throw away a lot of the signal we generate while doing things online and this can be put to good use for ourselves.
Histre aims to help with the whole "knowledge funnel", if you will. It aids the casual online research we all do (ie the explore -> filter -> decide loop). For example, it removes friction in taking notes on links you're looking at, with free-form tags that you don't have to create first and other such niceties that add up. And it easy to group notes into notebooks and share with teams. In short, when you have to look at a bunch of links for something (decide on your next vacation -- after this virus is behind us of course, people to hire, material for your next blog post, etc) Histre makes your life easier. But this is just the starting point for what Histre intends to do.
IMHO the biggest problem with apps like Evernote, Notion, Pocket etc is that it becomes digital hoarding, and not a knowledge base. And the knowledge base focused apps out there involve a lot of manual upkeep, which almost never happens, especially at work. Things start out okay and quickly fall into disrepair. I'm differentiating from the other note taking apps by automatically putting together a knowledge base (grouped by topic etc).
There is Hacker News integration that you may want to try. It lets you import and optionally share the stories you upvote.
- DelightOne 7y agoHow do you fix the never-read again problem?
- kirubakaran 7y agoI resurface them when you read similar topics in the future, so that it is brought up when it is relevant to you again. This is a work in progress.
