It's a PWA at the moment so it works quite well on mobile. But proper mobile versions will come in the future.
Why? What does a "proper mobile version" get you?

> But I just don't understand what I would use it for. Isn’t that clearly stated in the name of the post: It “helps you remember shit you are interested in.” Personally I run into interesting things all the time, and it seems great to be able to have a place to store them so I don’t forget about them. That’s clear value to me. I’m honestly a bit puzzled how you don’t see value. For me, I would need an app in order to…
Try this one? https://cubox.cc/ I use it everyday and when I want to collect, I just use Command + Shift + X!

FAQ says they will add self-hosting if the project dies. https://www.recall-app.com/faq >What happens if Recall disappears one day? >It is understandable that there is some hesitation to invest your time into adding your information to a new application and the obvious fear that it may just disappear one day. I want to reassure you that we are fully committed to Recall for the long term. But in the unlikely and unfor…
It's not good enough, because there are instances where the project might die but they decide not to. For example, if they are acquired and shuttered (like when fitbit bought and closed Pebble), if legal says they can't, or if the money needed to open source it after the fact is not available because they went bust and already owe creditors (you might need money to do a license review to ensure that releasing the cod…
Non-starter for me if it's not possible to self host. Self hosting is not only knowing that my data is private, but also that once the company behind the product dies out, my data won't disappear forever.
I just setup FreshRSS for myself to get off feedly and am much MUCH happier. While I'd like to use that service I have to agree with you. I want to self host this goldmine of personal information myself as well.
I see what this app is about but at the same time it enforces information overload which is an instant turn off for me. What'll happen if I were to use it: I'll pile up more and more stuff I'm interested into, I'll receive news about all things I've subscribed to and eventually I'll get annoyed from the "spam". Then I'll unsubscribe realizing that information overload can't be handled with apps, I have to solve that…

It's definitely not for everyone. The idea is that you can track things you are interested over your life, when you add new content that is related to something you have added in the past, it creates a link automatically resurfacing the old content. It basically build a knowledge graph of all your interests. Thanks for your feedback.
Is this supposed to be limited to things like people, movies, shows, etc.? It seemed that way based on what search box would accept. I couldn't even add a book via search. And there was mention of articles / blogs... but there's no way to import something like that from what I could tell, so it would be all manual entry which seems to defeat the purpose.
This seems really well built. It's fast and responsive. It looks nice. But I just don't understand what I would use it for. It seems like the idea is to build a database of people, movies, Wikipedia articles and such and then be able to find them via search/links. But I'm not at all sold on why I need this in my life. Is there a way to make the value clearer? Am I just not in the target audience? Who is going to see…
Perhaps it’s your vantage point. I just saw this on mobile, and if it does what I think it does, I can’t wait to try it out. At least for me personally I think this may be exactly what I need for knowledge (interest) management.
This looks super useful to me. Trying it out right now. Is there a way to have my own tags/collections I can mark notes with? For example I have books that I want to bookmark because I plan of reading them. And there are books I love and want them in another list. I would also like to share the latter with friends when they ask me if I can recommend a good book on a specific topic. For movies I already use public imd…
I can see how this could grow into very valuable product:
- Saving web-articles removing all the watery text from it, stripping original down to an essence
- Not just linking articles on similar topic, but coming up with some insights/synthesis of new knowledge by blending linked knowledge (i.e. when several articles exploring some topic from different perspectives it could make whole puzzle come together)
- Feed the news into the insights/synthesis module and notify only if some interesting stuff is generated
For example, if I setup a task that I need to purchase a road toll sticker every year and that can only be acquired at a gas station, the app should track when the current sticker expires and prompt me when I am at a gas station. At the store, I get a notification with all missing gorceries that I've earlier identified back home and inserted in the "Groceries" task list. When I come back home, the app will prompt me to, for example, read the gas meter that is due that day.
I'm currently using Google Tasks for these tasks but it's less than optimal, although the gmail integration is pretty cool. Your Recall app could make up the Archival module of a great tasklist; i.e, if items come up that seem important and I might later need them (such as, say, a particularly interesting hackernews thread or news item), I need a fast and easy way to archive them with as much context and metadata, so I can easily reference them later. Such items could have optional reminders, so I can snooze them and they keep popping up.
