Gingko notes have been a thing maybe 10 years ago? I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but wasn't graph-based note taking? Was really cool! The idea of space

Gingko notes have been a thing maybe 10 years ago? I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but wasn't graph-based note taking? Was really cool!
The idea of spaced repetition via email reminds me of readwise as well.
- iskrataa 2y agoYes, Readwise was sort of an inspiration for me too, but looked like wasted potential as they don't track or use any algorithms for you to remember, and lack support for external links/sources (I may be wrong here).
- shanusmagnus 2y agoYou're thinking of this [1]. Super duper cool idea, ahead of its time. Author seems to have transitioned to a ludicrous pricing model, but I suspect it's because the people who like it really _love_ it. I used to be among them, but then switched to org-mode .

- leobg 2y agoI’m curious what you mean. $9/mo for a tool targeting professional writers doesn’t sound that ludicrous to me.
- shanusmagnus 2y agoIt's all a matter of point of view I guess. Given that I replaced it with something costing zero dollars may explain my attitude. Also, the fact that it started out as basically free, and is now a recurrent expense over a hundred bucks a year. That said, the author seems like a cool guy. Hope he's finding success.
- leobg 2y agoWhat did you replace it with?
- shanusmagnus 2y agoEmacs org-mode -- it's less visually obvious that it's exactly equivalent from a structural / hierarchical point of view. But the editing experience is infinitely better, because Emacs.
