Great list! Overlaps somewhat with my own (incidentally also titled “life advice”): https://trove.to/wes/trove/de40440b-ed21-4fdb-ba61-b5f83322b...

This is very much in the spirit of what we were trying to do with trove.to [1] — give people an easy way to curate & annotate lists of websites, and layer a social graph and endors…

Hey HN! It's been 3 months since Trove's original Show HN [1], and since then we've released tons of new features and improvements including: - a fully-fledged WYSIWYG + Markdown e…

Agreed. I’m working on one such tool: https://trove.to/

Interesting observation. I wonder if these are issues intrinsic to the sites themselves, or if instead there’s some fundamental law that states once a publishing platform reaches a…

Interesting... where can I see Lex Fridman's shelf? It seems everyone and their mother is working on a knowledge management / list curation tool these days—well, including myself (…

For an academic take on "how-to Linux", I'd recommend CMU's CS 15-213 course [1]. The systems class I took in college borrowed liberally from it, IIRC. Also, I'm putting together a…

There's a ton of different note taking methods, as you can tell by the variety of responses here. People will evangelize one method as being superior to another, but I think you ju…

Yeah, for your workflow here I don't think there is any better solution, especially because of the Kindle / Goodreads integration (which Amazon will never open up to other services…

While it's a very difficult problem to crack, I do think there's a way to serve both the bookmarking ("single player") and recommendation ("multiplayer") use cases with one product…

Everything is run through 2 Digital Ocean droplets (one for the Next.js instance, and one for the Django REST server). I'm not a sysadmin by any means (I just followed a guide[1] o…

Thanks for your feedback here! On your first point, we are in fact working on an extension to help make trove creation easier. I also think we can make the editor experience a lot …

Thanks for trying it out! The ability to upload your own screenshots / images is on our roadmap. For now, you can still include images hosted elsewhere on the web through standard …

I am familiar with both — as far as I can tell they're both great products in their own right, very focused on their particular niche (Kit for products, Satchel for B2B SaaS). You …

Thanks for trying it out! In some sense, we believe we are already a platform oriented around user-generated content—the act of curating and annotating something is itself a medium…

Great to hear! I would love to hear what you think these new expression tools might be. Just spitballing here, perhaps you could record audio on a block instead of writing? Or are …

Thanks for trying it out, and for this candid feedback! You're right, the product is still a ways off from becoming a true "GitHub for knowledge" — things like "forking" a trove, l…

Not yet, though this is a direction we've been thinking about. We know a fully-fledged "knowledge base" may not only consist of annotated URLs — it may also contain the author's ow…

Thanks for your comment! In fact, we're working on a Chrome extension now. Beyond just allowing users to save things as they browse, we think there's some other interesting applica…

Thanks for your comment! Very cool. As an ex-PM the use case makes a lot of sense to me—Figma makes things a lot easier but still so much of the Design-Product back and forth happe…

Creator here, happy to answer any questions. Trove is a project I’ve been working on for about 3 months now. The initial idea was borne out of a frustration my cofounder and I had …

Glad to hear it! The project is still very early (first released less than 3 weeks ago), so feedback and ideas are more than welcome.
