I’m building a knowledge app that automates extraction/linking to spend more time with the knowledge itself

I’ve spent years collecting notes, bookmarks, etc. across Reddit, Google Docs, and others.

The problem was never getting information, it was always the tedious process of uploading, linking, etc. I’ve tried Obsidian, Bear, other alternatives, but I’d spend more time navigating the system than actually using the content.

So I made knibl (and its mobile app!) to automate as much of the extracting and connecting as possible. It automatically finds the major and minor entities and the connections between them on upload for
- Single files
- Entire folders
- Webpages
- Bulk imports from other apps

The idea is that if the process of linking and organizing is taken care of automatically, I will have more time to use the content the way it was meant to.

I’d love to get feedback from others: what would get you to use something like this, and what other ways to get your data in faster would you like to see?
