Now I want to set up a Patreon or Go Fund Me to fund an open source web clipper by those who worked on Evernote’s.

I’ve never really found anything that worked that well.



That was my favorite part of Evernote. However, I was recently cleaning up old notes that I had transferred to Obsidian and few of the pages I had clipped were ever read. It turns out I was just hoarding.


That’s where I think coupling a web clipper with audio transcription, CLIP, & an LLM, can provide a lot of value.

Have everything automatically classified, tagged, semantically searchable, and linked.

This way when I, for example, write down a new idea about LLMs, everything related is automatically surfaced, including those Langchain and LlamaIndex tutorials, and the notes I’d left about them.

Same thing when I look things up.

And I think this "autopilot" aspect will drastically simplify the usage of tools like Obsidian & Roam.

It won’t replace careful curation, but I am convinced it can be better than what most have (ie Notes, bookmarks, sticky notes, etc)

Perhaps that’s what the guys over at Quivr[0] are trying to do, but I haven’t gotten the chance to try it out yet.

It’s such an obvious use case.
