Neat. I’ve done some kinda sorta similar stuff with org mode in emacs. I really like it, but it does just make me long for a system with built in tracking, automatic synthesis of current focus from programs in use, etc.

Imagine something like a Jupyter notebook, with embedded browser widget; you look something up and that info is embedded in notebook. Same with bits of source files, shell commands and output, etc.

Trying to remember how I did something like 6 months ago? Open that notebook and scroll from bottom.

I’m skeptical of llm-take-over-the-world narratives, but I think that also a document like this could be used by them to synthesize summaries, TOCs, etc.

One of these days I’ll get around to implementing this b kind of flow myself. I hope. Someday.
