There is one category of Knowledge Base tools where you're putting stuff in yourself: Emacs org-mode, Notion, Evernote, Roam etc. There's definitely benefit in that. You could even take notes in the form on Anki cards.
The other category, which is quite under-served in my biased[1] opinion, is the Knowledge Base that grows automatically and is maintained for you.
You learn by spend time on various different articles, some of them you upvote on Hacker News. You do a number of such things all day everyday. Wouldn't it be great if a tool compiled all that information automatically, "your history" if you will, and made it easily available to you? That's https://histre.com/ https://histre.com/
[1] biased because I'm solving this problem by building Histre.
- adamfeldman 6y agoI love this, and have had the same idea. Said another way, the goal is to convert your wasted "data exhaust" into potential energy in the form of automatically organized knowledge.
- kirubakaran 6y agoThanks! Exactly! You create so much signal just by doing things online and all that is being thrown away. Histre works towards putting that to good use for yourself.
