I wrote a script to sync Readwise to Raindrop
cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/3451107
> Check the comment of the gist for instructions on how to use. You can set this up to run every few minutes, keeping your readwise items, highlights, and annotations synced with Raindrop! I didn't see anything that accomplished this, even with the multitude of paid automation solutions. I was tempted to sign up for a free one when I realized they were all very flawed, so I just wrote one up for free! > > Hope you enjoy! Suggestions and contributions more than welcome :)

22120 is an archival project that lets you rebrowse your browser history as you saw it

You gotta appreciate the commitment to getting a usable thing in place: being able to actually just... replay the requests--it's an impressive thing.
I wonder if the project's purism impairs its ability to be repurposed, though? One of the cool things about web archival projects is how through content-hashing / IPFS type nonsense, we might be able to build systems that let us have a shared memory of the internet. This seems important for images/media where duplicating that content is a heavy lift. (I'm thinking a bit of Jortage here, which makes it so a single-user Mastodon instance does not incur separate storage of every image it comes across...) It's hard for me to picture this project fitting into a shared archive -- but then, that's only my angle on web archival, and I haven't picked through the tech here.

mind mapping but cute
kinopio.club Kinopio – Thinking CanvasCreate spaces to mindmap, moodboard, research, whiteboard, brainstorm, plan, and take notes
If I hadn't put a ton of effort into making my personal wiki lovely I would be all over this. I love how the notes can have "frames" to add little images at the edges -- that took me forever to figure out how to do in Tiddlywiki! I wonder if this could be a useful Trello replacement for a teenager? It has aesthetic bullet journal vibes, but much lower entry barrier to start using / making pretty.

outliner as snazzy as Roam, but stored locally!
logseq.com A privacy-first, open-source knowledge baseA privacy-first, open-source platform for knowledge management and collaboration.

I'm really impressed by this; they're explicitly calling out Tiddlywiki as an influence, which is a project I think has a really great sensibility... but this fully keeps up with the (far more contemporary) UI patterns of Obsidian or Roam.
It's not open source properly yet, but they say they're going to do that in the next couple months. Maybe worth bookmarking and coming back to?

chris aldrich on roam's VC round
boffosocko.com | Chris AldrichRoam Research should really be going the Zebra route and not the VC funding route. If the 11 person company is truly self-supporting with its current user base and there's so much upside for growth, they'd be far better off to keep that value internally. The only reason for VC funding is if they're ...
Oof, oof, oof. Strong agree on this being a bad fit for VC funding.
It seems like if they're trying to get into the corporate wiki space (which is the only place I can imagine there being VC-money-type return), that's going to necessitate different focus on features from what makes sense for the personal brain-backup user.
I've enjoyed the new blood Roam has brought into the personal knowledgebase community, and it's even indirectly responsible for getting me back into Tiddlywiki after years of absence--but this can only skew people's expectations about what notetaking can be.
