This is super cool. I just tried it out by looking into a few health/medical topics. So far, I’ve only tried the “internal” experience of “create note with search”, “expanding” and clicking on links – I haven’t tried saving links from my normal web browsing. It’s a nice alternative to using Wikipedia for quickly researching a topic, the benefit being that it gives me bullet points so I’m not overloaded with information.
I don’t see myself replacing my Obsidian notes with this any time soon, but it could serve the niche of the first pass of research – a quick way to collect information, where afterwards I’d consolidate my findings into more permanent notes in Obsidian.
What would make this really useful is more data sources. As far as I can tell, Recall’s “create note with search” only uses Wikipedia right now. It would be awesome to be able to compile information from multiple sources into one note. For example, I was just looking into anemia. It would be cool if, in addition to Wikipedia, I could pull in some information from WebMD, Mayo Clinic, or Harvard Health, too. A more fine-grained way to pick and choose what information I want to add would also be useful.
Nice project, I’ll keep an eye on it! Also, good job with the mobile UX, it’s pretty good!
- paulrchds 4y agoYeah for now the data sources are a bit limited. I combine data from a few place but its mainly wikipedia/data. I am working on a browser extension that will let you save from any page.
