Comment on Ask HN: AI tools for learning and spaced repetition

Comments

The missing piece in most learning tools: they assume you manually feed them content.

But where does that content come from? You're already: - Reading HN discussions - Following newsletters - Monitoring subreddits - Scanning Discord servers

What if the same AI that filters this information also: 1. Identifies concepts worth remembering 2. Generates SRS cards automatically 3. Tracks what you've mastered vs what needs review

You'd go from "information overload" → "filtered insights" → "retained knowledge" in one pipeline.

Passive consumption → Active retention, automatically.

This is the direction I'm exploring with Daigest (currently does steps 1-2, considering adding 3). Anyone else see value in this workflow?
