I'd like a feature that reminds me of a particular piece of information at a logarithmic cadence so I can commit it to memory better by being reminded a few times within a few weeks/months, but then a nudge 6 months down the line, etc.

Have you heard of Anki, the flash card app?

RemNote also does a good job of this.

Yeah, I have a spaced repetition learning feature on the roadmap.

How is this different from using notion ?

This is much closer to a bookmarking tool than to notion. I guess its similar to the notion browser extension but has a key feature that notion doesn't have. And this is it automatically created bidirectional links between the content you add helping you find connections.

There's a good chance the lack of traction is a marketing problem, not a product problem. What have you tried do so far to market the product?

Posted on Producthunt and tweet about it a bit. This post though has by far got the most interest.

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…

> 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…

Browser bookmarks are very convenient to add. So why would I use this app instead of just bookmarking pages?

> Gmail: Fast email with 2 GB storage. My 2c: Storage and speed are nowhere near as important as spam blocking... Which Gmail is superior at, and the primary reason for it's choice

At the time of its release, around 2002, space was the killer feature. People were either using outlook express with their ISP email and losing all emails frequently when upgrading or changing ISPs, or hotmail which only had 4MB of storage in the free plan. It was normal to scroll through your emails, make sure you didn’t miss anything, and then delete all emails. I think outgoing emails were automatically deleted after 30 days too.
