       | For the queue management bit Fabric[0] seems like a decent idea,
       | it's kind of trying to be a personal, private, local AI
       | assistant. You feed it the stuff you'd normally read and it
       | summarises it for you.
       | 
       | Then you can decide which content you should spend more of your
       | time on.
       | 
       | Not nearly complete, but an idea I had even before I found out
       | about it. And kinda similar what Apple is attempting with iOS18
       | and Apple AI.

       | In order for this to be even remotely doable, you need explicit
       | and transparent data flows between devices and applications which
       | is currently a no starter for tech companies and app developers.
       | 
       | Apple letting you out of the walled garden? Forget about it.
       | Google letting anyone else use their data? How about 3 more soon-
       | to-be-killed products instead of a proper API.
       | 
       | Not to mention you need a rewrite of the DMCA in order to
       | complete this.

       | information into the top of the funnel.

         | Never have your content only on someone else's site.

         | I usually write every comment / opinion in Obsidian if it's
         | either long or seems like something I need to explain multiple
         | times.
         | 
         | That way I can just copy-paste the same comment again, read
         | through and edit either the original or the pasted version to
         | fit the situation and I save a lot of time and research =)
