You raise some pertinent questions, I'll try to answer them. > It seems simple in words but consider how many steps, tools, plugins, devices, human intervention are required to achieve it. Is it reliable? Nope. Is it better? Nope. I had to create this setup because 'I had the need', Browser bookmarks alone just didn't cut it, I have at least a decade of bookmarks, For old bookmarks I have to check every page with a particular tag before I can get some value out of them. In spite of trying numerous browser bookmark-organizing tools[1], My need wasn't addressed completely. > You still have to remember those keywords you added so you haven't gotten rid of the memory problem. Knowledge management suites specifically address this with 'knowledge-graphs'. All I have to do this put some thought into naming the tags when saving(highlighting in my case), link to relevant notes as and when I write them . Although I wish I could address the memory problem itself[2], I can now also use spaced-repetition for the content I'd like to remember(Even Kindle apps have built-in flash cards feature). > The problem with "knowledge assimilation" aka note taking is that after a certain point, you have more "knowledge" than you even want. The extra becomes noise. I don't think I'll ever have more knowledge than I ever need, Intellectual curiosity is what makes life less painful to me; literally and metaphorically. > I do, however, commend the ingenuity of the OP in making such a system. Thanks, I like to reiterate that 'I don't claim my-setup to be the best setup for the task', It's evident from this thread that many others use what fits them and 'HN -> Kindle -> Obsidian' happens to be mine. > I wonder how long it took to set this all up. As a developer, HN to Kindle: ~14 hours for the first release, Further development/bug fixes took few minutes to an hour every now and then(Check change log). Not counting the go based web framework I re-use for web application (or) using existing ML models for classification of HN stories. Kindle to Obsidian: Couple of minutes to find the plugin, Few more minutes to find what I need from Nunjucks template, A week to work with the developer to fix the feature parity with Nunjucks on the plugin(Effort here completely is from the developer). Obisidan: Since I already use Markdown/ YAML for all my writing, There's was not much of a learning curve here. I carry on incremental development as I have finite time(due to health reasons) to work on something each day. Someone with lesser constraints could do all the above development within a day. As for an user, This complete stack could be setup in 10-15 minutes.
