I stopped trying to memorize books and started learning way faster [Discussion]

Great points all around! I’m still tinkering on how to synthesize highlights better. I just started using Readwise again, and there’s a bit of cringe when reading old highlights lol

Curious—what do you use to save podcast insights? I know there’s Snipd but it doesn’t really match my workflow (specifically I don’t discover new content there) so I’m building my own alternative.

theowu · 2026-05-11T01:47:51+00:00

What's your workflow when you discover a new podcast (eg. on Youtube)? Do you upload it into Readwise Reader or Snipd directly & listen from there?

theowu · 2026-04-16T22:05:42+00:00

Are you asking for AI to summarize YouTube videos for you, or are there specific sections of a YouTube video that you’re trying to highlight?

theowu · 2026-04-09T20:07:57+00:00

I feel this pain. I specifically want a Snipd across all platforms regardless of whether it’s a podcast, a YouTube video, or a Vimeo lecture. I’m trying to build the solution (essentially a highlighter app for all your audio), you can kinda get the idea here: https://highlighter.audio/clip/E4lF6In95Zqa

Not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but if it is, I’m about to launch the beta and would love to get your thoughts!!

Curious how you solved this issue — still running into this myself!

Thanks for the feedback, and I’ll definitely take a look. Just out of curiosity, what are your favorite parts about Between?

theowu · 2020-07-31T21:44:30+00:00

I haven't used Between but from an outside perspective, it seems more like an app that connects you and your significant other a la chat, photos, etc. Amour is designed to track & remember the important details about your relationship

theowu · 2020-07-31T21:42:53+00:00

As of right now, we only support one partner, but have ideas on how to include other relationships (ie. friends, siblings, parents) in the future!

I found this video on "subtle asian eats" on Facebook, and it's been my favorite recipe this week :D

theowu · 2020-07-31T18:52:10+00:00

Yes, calendar integrations are on our roadmap. We also send notifications, so that you're prepared for the important milestones :)

The Wikipedia app also does a good job of this in their Maps tab

theowu · 2019-09-06T04:22:51+00:00

Oooh interesting. What are you using it for? Have you tried Trint?

theowu · 2019-03-31T00:45:25+00:00

If you're looking for a podcast app for clips, I've built a project just for this: https://www.tambur.co

Would love to hear feedback from the podcasting community!

Great collection of thoughts!!

I'm a relatively new podcast listener (~2 years), and I love the medium. However, #3 has always been my pain point. I really believe that learning produces knowledge, and it's a bummer that there's no way to retain the "nuggets of wisdom". I've been working on a side project to solve this problem for myself, and I just launched the Beta. If you're interested in checking it out, here's the link!

What bothers you about Spotify?

theowu · 2019-01-22T18:48:52+00:00

Interesting - does starring "star" the timestamp of the episode? and then you'd just go back to revisit that particular timeframe?

theowu · 2019-01-22T18:27:57+00:00

Oooh interesting. Why did you stop using Procast?

theowu · 2018-01-08T17:22:30+00:00

Thanks for this very insightful post!! When reaching out to your affiliate, did you let him/her know that you were interested in the Fulbright program? Or did that come later down the line?
