    If You Have Multiple Interests, Do Not Waste The Next 1-2 Years

    Stop picking between interests and start combining them.

    The picking loop is a trap

    • Pivoting every three months leaves half-built skills in disconnected drawers.
    • Specialists are becoming commodities; people who combine skills build something defensible.
    + The stacking model, How to begin

    There is a specific pattern that keeps multi-potentialites stuck for years, and almost nobody names it.

    The issue is that you keep trying to pick between your interests instead of building on top of them.

    Summarizing

How it works

  1. Share a link.

    From the iPhone share sheet, the Chrome clipper or the web app. No tags, no folders.

  2. Read the gist.

    A minute later a summary is waiting, shaped to the page: steps for a how-to, a list for a listicle, every number kept.

  3. Open the full text.

    It's one tap below the summary, whenever you want the whole thing.

What it reads

  • Articles and web pages.
  • YouTube videos, from their captions.
  • Notion pages.
  • Pages behind a paywall or login you already have, read in full through your own browser with the Chrome clipper, coming to the Chrome Web Store.

Where do you save things you never read?

Your own AI

Pick the model that writes your summaries, on your own OpenRouter key.

Connect Claude to your library and it can search, read and add saves for you.

What the beta is like

  • It's a beta, so things change and sometimes break.
  • The iPhone app is on TestFlight, not the App Store yet.
  • Summaries need an OpenRouter key, and the beta invite explains the setup.

Questions

I save everything and never read it. Does this fix that?

Going back gets cheap: the gist is already there, and 30 seconds tells you whether to open the full text. It doesn't nag you and it doesn't pick for you.

What happens to my files if you stop?

They stay in your Drive as Markdown files. Any text editor or Obsidian opens them.

Is it free?

Free while in beta. Beta testers get a founding price later.
