Bro has me thinking even more about atproto flash cards now smh. This is good thinking! I definitely feel like I collect a lot of good content but the “later” at which I would theoretically sit down and digest it and incorporate it never comes. The spaced repetition habit seems perfect for an ongoing learning lifestyle.
How do you queue your cards? Do new ones get prioritized and then decay over time? Does it resurface older cards? Who is gonna hook up Anki to the PDS??
Anki handles the review schedule with a spaced repetition algo. Agree on the need for open social flashcards! Seeing that someone wrote flashcards from a piece of content is a strong signal of qualityWesley Finck replied on The Art of Travel Journaling

I don't usually do much at night time when I am travelling. I not much of a clubber 😅 So I will spend the evenings in my room writing out the day in Obsidian… doing some of that *integration* work you mentioned. Throughout the day, I am snapping photos which is my "real time" capture. I can usually just scroll though the pics for that day and reconstruct my thoughts from that. But if I leave it for more than a day… it gets tough. So now my regular schedule is: get up pretty early, see a bunch of stuff until the sun goes down, have a relaxing dinner, then process my photos and notes, then bed. Once I am back home I will go through the big *write a full travel report* with a more holistic approach.
Sounds like a great way to spend an evening while traveling! Thanks for sharing your process :)Wesley Finck commented on Living Documents on the Feed

this resonates so much with a feature we are working on right now in ! currently called "connections" i.e. directly connecting a URL to another. So in your scenarios, as new information comes in, users can create a connection between these posts and the original guide document. The connections can have optional notes and types (think "supports", "opposes", "supplements" etc). These connections wouldn't exist within the document *but* they can act as an "inbox" for the author if they want to synthesize them into an updated document. Also, users can subscribe to / follow URLs and get notified whenever new connections get made. Happy to chat more about it!

Yup quite reasonable! Even for ATdevs immersed in this it can be easy to forget that the only difference between collections under your NSID and someone else’s is who decides the shape of that data. If there’s a lexicon that useful to your app experience, use it! If it’s helpful to convert that to a schema of your own, sure whatever. A lot can be done simply by accessing records from another app’s collections.

The inspiration for this poem came while I was sitting in a sauna at a community centre in Vancouver. It immediately reminded me of sitting in a steam room in Taipei, full of local seniors chit chatting and laughing. It was a surreal moment. This was my attempt at describing the feeling.Wesley Finck replied on Integrations as Plugins

This is interesting, but I'm not sure how the current tool you're previewing creates "micro-knowledge" that is *connected* to other micro-knowledge or general knowledge. When I hear the above, I think about how reviews from Popfeed/other apps about a certain book could be used build an understanding of the collective "doxa" (greek word for general public opinion) surrounding that book. That doxa could be analyzed by an LLM to give a summary, or used to analyze whether there is general consensus on the book or whether it's controversial. I think creating this understanding of how people are generally feeling about something is really cool. Is that along the lines of what you're thinking, or are you trying to build something else entirely?
great observation Ezra! totally agree that the screenshots in this post don't get at the micro-knowledge in a more generic sense. We are thinking about how to include review like affordances, but those won't be rolled out for a decent amount of time.Loading more comments...
