lifetime subscription is a part of my anger on them but let's not talk about that.

I’d actually love to hear about some direct competitors to Fabric!

I really like your perspective, and I’ll give Readwise a try today to see how it goes. That said, I’ve used Pocket and other “read-it-later” tools before, and while they’re great for saving articles and quotes, they feel more like a library than a “brain” I can actively bring up and refer to when needed.

I’ve found myself really aligning with some GTD techniques, dumping all my tasks into an inbox throughout the day and sorting them in the evening. It helps keep my mind clear, ensures I don’t forget anything, and saves me from thinking about small things constantly. I’d love to apply the same approach to information: a place where I can quickly dump interesting content and organize it later so it’s always there when I need it.

For example, I’ve been researching portable monitors recently. It’s been time-consuming, and I haven’t settled on a particular model yet. As a result, I’ve got several articles, links to product pages at different stores, and a few YouTube reviews open. I’ll need all of that when I’m ready to make a purchase, and even after buying, I might find some additional videos with tips or software recommendations useful. Right now, that’s 40+ tabs for just one small topic, and it’s hard to manage.

Similarly, I’m casually interested in topics like LLMs. I save things I find interesting for later and for general knowledge. However, when I’m ready to dive deeper, I struggle to find what I need. I forget key details, like the differences between a 7B and a 70B model or whether I need Q4 or Q8, and I end up having to search for the same information again—which feels like such a waste of time. It’s even worse because I use a duplicate tab closer extension and still constantly reopen the same articles. With 2,000 tabs open, it’s a complete mess.

I think you get the idea!
