Show HN: Supermemo – a single stream for notes with chat-style retrieval (supermemo.me)

1 points by akrs ↗ HN
I’ve tried a lot of note systems and kept running into two problems:

Capture friction: before writing anything down, I had to decide where it belonged (which app, which doc, new vs existing).

Retrieval friction: when I needed something later, it was scattered across notebooks/docs, and the "real answer" often lived across multiple notes that evolved over time.

I didn’t want better folders or navigation. I wanted a better context engine. One place to capture continuously, and a way to ask questions that pull from the full stream. So I built Supermemo. It’s a single running stream for notes + an AI-powered way to query and synthesize across them.

If you try it, I’d love the feedback, especially on what feels right vs annoying, and what you wish it did.

Using the very well-known knowledge flashcard system SuperMemo's name is going to backfire and make your app effectively invisible in any search engine's results. I would highly advise changing the name before you proceed any further.

I appreciate the comment and the information. I don't intend to market or promote this app. It's a personal experiment that others are welcome to use.
