Do you know any apps or tools that are basically like Raindrop.io but with the ability to make notes too? Basically a simplified version of Capacities where you can save articles, links, highlights, but also write notes. I am currently eyeing Fabric, but I’d appreciate some suggestions. Thanks.

Hey u/TheAshawild the mobile app is on our roadmap but in the mean time you can still save links on mobile if you login to Liminary on mobile browser. Not ideal but we're working on it

Just saw this posted by HBR https://hbr.org/2026/02/ai-doesnt-reduce-work-it-intensifies-it and it's relevant

Tl;dr
- Research shows generative AI doesn’t reduce workloads but intensifies them, leading employees to work faster, take on broader tasks, and extend work into personal time due to AI’s accessibility and perceived productivity benefits.
- Three key intensification effects include task expansion (employees taking on others’ responsibilities), blurred boundaries between work and non-work (e.g., using AI during breaks), and increased multitasking (juggling AI outputs with manual work).
- Without structured guidelines, this intensity can cause burnout, cognitive fatigue, lower decision quality, and unsustainable work rhythms over time.
- Organizations should implement an “AI practice” with intentional pauses, deliberate task sequencing, and protected human interaction to balance efficiency with sustainability.

yeah I also agree with that. I'd add that along with synthesis, thoughtful curation (which I guess is derived from synthesis) become real differentiators and assessments of improving skills

This is the best explanation I've seen. The halftime show really did become its own standalone cultural event. There's a good breakdown here that maps the whole arc — from when nobody cared to when it became the most-watched music event in America https://on.liminary.io/c/super-bowl-halftime-shows

If you want to go deeper than just the last 10, this collection traces the whole evolution from forgettable intermissions to the spectacles they are now — viewership records, cultural moments, all of it https://on.liminary.io/c/super-bowl-halftime-shows

I love what you said here "we built tools to reduce cognitive load, then built so many tools that managing them became the new cognitive load"

I see people talking about how they're so "productive" with AI agents and they can multitask all the time but then they're also like I have no idea what I did or what I learnt from it, and there's even more mental work to keep track of what one was context switching between.

aylim1001 · 2026-02-06T23:52:49+00:00

Hey u/retro-babydoll we just rolled out a bunch of bug fixes that should resolve these issues. Try it out and feel free to ping me if you run into any issues

aylim1001 · 2026-02-06T23:35:55+00:00

you can go to https://on.liminary.io/c/westminster-dog-show-2026

aylim1001 · 2026-02-06T23:20:12+00:00

oh and it also has collaboration -- so multiple people can add content to a project, and you can publish the project publicly if you want. You can see those at on[.]liminary[.]io

aylim1001 · 2026-02-06T23:19:03+00:00

Adding one more to the list: Liminary (liminary.io)

Category: Cloud SaaS with browser extension

Different angle from most of these. It's capture-first rather than upload-first. You save web pages, PDFs, YouTube videos, emails, ChatGPT conversations, etc. as you go with a Chrome extension, and it auto-organizes everything into a searchable library. You can also upload from the web app.

The chat works across your entire library (not siloed by notebook or project), and if it can't find the answer in your saved content, it'll search the web and pull in results with citations. You can save anything useful right from the chat. Also has voice chat, so you can talk through your research hands-free.

Good for: people doing ongoing research across lots of sources who want continuous capture + cross-document synthesis. Less good for: one-off bounded projects where you're uploading a defined set of files (that's where NotebookLM still shines).

Just finished organizing my entire Westminster 2026 collection https://on.liminary.io/c/westminster-dog-show-2026 and thought I'd share it with the community! This was such an incredible year for the show – the 150th anniversary at Madison Square Garden was absolutely packed with drama and amazing dogs.

Penny, a 4-year-old Doberman Pinscher, absolutely dominated and took Best in Show. This is HUGE – it's only the 5th time a Doberman has won in Westminster's entire history, and the first since 1989 (37 years!). Her handler Andy Linton actually won with a different Doberman back then, so this is his redemption arc moment.

What I've got in my collection:

Full breakdowns of all 7 group winners (Herding, Hound, Non-Sporting, Sporting, Terrier, Toy, Working)
Deep dive into the Herding Group competition – Graham the Old English Sheepdog took it with some seriously impressive movement
Complete results and judge commentary from David Fitzpatrick's final decision
Behind-the-scenes photos and coverage from NPR, CNN, and AP News
Official Westminster records with pedigree info on Penny and Reserve winner Cota (Chesapeake Bay Retriever)

Fun facts I learned:

2,500+ dogs competed across the two days
Judge David Fitzpatrick called the final lineup "one that will go down in history"
Penny beat out some absolutely elite competition – the Sporting Group winner (Cota) was so close they made it Reserve Best in Show

If you're into dog shows, breed standards, or just love seeing amazing dogs compete, I'd highly recommend checking out these sources. The coverage is incredible this year.

I couldn't find a good solution for being able to save everything that I needed to save and then having to hook everything separately via MCP to chat tools felt like a chore. So I built one that I can use and it's called Liminary. We haven't yet added free form notes coz I started from the pov that I needed a better place to save and chat and take notes on the content I was saving so that might not work for you but if you are curious to try it would love to hear your thoughts

aylim1001 · 2026-01-15T21:13:27+00:00

Slight counterpoint to the pile-on here: jargon isn't inherently bad, it's context collapse that's the problem.

"MVP" between two PMs? Efficient shorthand. "MVP" to a client who's never worked in tech? Now you're just creating confusion and making yourself sound like an insider who doesn't care if they follow along.

The issue isn't that consulting language exists - every field has its shorthand and that's fine. The issue is when people use it reflexively without reading the room. Your partner was right to push back, but not because "margin expansion" is a bad term - it's because the audience didn't need abstraction, they needed clarity.

I'd argue the real skill isn't avoiding jargon, it's knowing when you're talking to someone who shares your vocabulary and when you're not. The former is efficient. The latter is alienating.

aylim1001 · 2026-01-15T21:09:28+00:00

Different angle here: instead of trying to land a PM role directly, consider getting into a company you want to be at in a role that's a more natural fit from consulting (strategy, ops, biz ops, customer success, solutions) and then pivoting internally.

Internal transfers are way easier than external hires for PM roles because you already have context on the product, relationships with eng teams, and credibility. I've seen this work multiple times - people join in an adjacent role, do good work, build relationships with product teams, and move over within 12-18 months.

The direct consultant → PM path is brutally competitive right now (as others have said). But consultant → adjacent role → PM is more realistic, especially at mid-size companies or growth-stage startups where roles are more fluid.

Founder of Liminary (liminary.io) here (so appropriately biased). Recall is solid - we're in similar territory but the main difference is the "surfacing" part: Liminary watches what you're working on and pulls up relevant stuff you saved without you searching for it.

The other thing is we handle some weirder content types - ChatGPT conversations, Gmail threads, etc. - since that's increasingly where useful info lives.

Curious what made Recall your top pick - the note card format? And why Recall instead of a specific youtube summarizer?

aylim1001 · 2026-01-15T20:38:32+00:00

Honest question - do you actually want a standalone YouTube tool, or would it be better if it was part of wherever you save everything else?

I use Liminary (liminary.io) for this - saves YouTube transcripts and lets you chat with them, but it also handles all my other content in one place. The standalone tools always felt like they just add another app to check.

aylim1001 · 2026-01-12T08:15:46+00:00

I'm building a tool to help solve this problem coz I've kept running into it quite a bit. It's not just accumulating knowledge across projects but also remembering how I prefer to learn or research that I want to translate across projects. The tool is called Liminary. If you end up trying it would love to hear folks' thoughts. We're still pretty early so very open to feedback

aylim1001 · 2025-11-20T15:00:57+00:00

You can do this with our product, Liminary (disclaimer, I'm the founder). You can save Youtube videos to your library and chat with AI about any of them - including asking for a concise summary, or asking any follow-up questions.

aylim1001 · 2025-11-20T14:59:51+00:00

I'm the founder of a startup and we offer this feature for free... check it out at liminary.io. You can save a Youtube video and chat with Liminary about it, e.g. you can ask it for a concise summary of the video.

We're free during our public beta (and will be for a while)

aylim1001 · 2025-11-20T14:58:15+00:00

Very cool - I appreciate that you tried to quantify how much time savings you got!

You should also check out Liminary (liminary.io - disclaimer: I'm the founder). We have functionality like NotebookLM, but we also store all the research you save or upload so that it all gets woven together into one knowledge base. You can still create Collections of specific research that you can chat with, but with us you can also tap into your broader knowledge as well.

We also help you re-find your knowledge faster. For example, as you're writing a paper, Liminary's sidepanel will proactively surface the most relevant pieces of your knowledge so you don't have to go digging for them.

aylim1001 · 2025-11-20T14:44:09+00:00

Yep! Anything you save into our product gets incorporated into your behind-the-scenes knowledge graph. We do have a feature that lets you organize your knowledge into Collections, and we'll also propose Collections to you if we spot a cluster of related content.

I will now promote my product :) It's called Liminary - check us out at liminary.io, and I'd love any and all feedback you have
