Okay, I will admit I didn't read all of your post but the title resonates with something I struggle with. I have thousands of bookmarks and things I want to follow up on, but retrieving these and digging into them is effort, so they just sit there... things I was interested in, but don't have time to properly investigate.
If someone could make an AI tool that takes all of my bookmarks and surfaces one or two insights from them to me per day, I.E., "hey you bookmarked the wikipedia page for this movie director, did you know one of his movies was just added to netflix?" or "Hey, you bookmarked the Kotlin website, want to try making a Kotlin project? Here are some app recommendations based on your other bookmarks..."
Totally get this — bookmarks are “future curiosity”, but retrieval has real friction, so they quietly rot.
The “1–2 insights per day” idea is exactly the shape that feels sane to me: pull-based, low volume, and designed to create momentum rather than dump more content. I also like your examples because they’re not just summaries — they’re context + a suggested next step.
If you were to try something like this, which would you want it optimized for:
1. novelty (interesting facts / “did you know”)
2. action (a small project/task you can do in 15–30 minutes)
3. relevance to what you’re doing this week
Details in my HN profile/bio if you want the direction I’m validating.
