I built my own bespoke second brain app - just for me. I've been using it for over 4 months, capturing thousands of short notes that I can freely explore - in a graph, as a map or using an LLM. the coolest thing about doing something like this is having a piece of software that is truly bespoke - in this case perfectly adapted to ways I naturally like to think and work. for example, a few weeks back I took a few hours to hack together a highlighter chrome extension. I can use it to highlight anything I read on the web and it automatically appears in the app in real time. I can have it open on another screen and instantly see all other notes I've taken that are related by the context (this uses AI). I find this workflow powerful because I love reading and writing, but I hate organising - so I get AI to do it for me. what's the last thing you've built for yourself?

chatting with notes: I can take any note and instantly use it as context for an LLM conversation. useful for guided learning. LLM output can easily be saved as a new note, although I don't like doing this: my notes either reference sources or my own interpretation or elaboration of things I've read from sources.

geo-view: all new notes are batch-processed with GPT-4, with notes pertaining to a certain location having that location guessed and encoded in metadata. I can then browse such notes on a world map. I built this around the time I started becoming interested in learning history 🌍
