Just spent 15 minutes trying to surface an article from a blog I read a couple of weeks ago. Coudn’t find it in Reader, or my Shaarli instance. Eventually found it by digging into my RSS feed reader and reviewing all of my feeds. Fortunately I pruned that number down a bit a few months ago but was still tedious. This should be easier but I’m not sure how to improve my bookmarking+feed reading+long form article reading+highlights.

For fun, I pasted the above into Claude and asked for help, here’s the suggested solution

This is a common challenge in personal knowledge management. Let me help break this down and suggest a more streamlined approach.

Here's a suggested system that might work better:

1. Content Capture
   - Use a read-later service like Raindrop.io or Readwise Reader as your primary collection point
   - These modern tools can handle RSS feeds, newsletters, and manual additions
   - They typically offer better search, tagging, and highlighting features

2. Processing System
   - Implement a quick triage system when content comes in
   - Use tags consistently (e.g., "to-read", "reference", "archive")
   - Add brief notes about why you're saving something
   - Consider using progressive summarization (highlighting key points when you first read)

3. Long-term Storage
   - Move important content to a knowledge management system (like Obsidian or Logseq)
   - Keep only what you'll reference again
   - Create connection points between related pieces of content

4. Search Strategy
   - Use specific tags for broad categories
   - Include contextual notes about why something was important
   - Consider adding your own summary/key points when saving

Would you like me to elaborate on any of these points or discuss specific tools that might work for your workflow?

Food for thought, I guess.
