COVID Tool for catching up with your many podcasts, articles, blogs etc
Hi all,
During COVID I found I had a bit more time to catch up on podcasts, youtube tutorials, blogs, news articles etc. But over a few months of lockdown in Melbourne I realised I doing the following to "store" links for later use:
- email to self
- sms to self
- whatsapp to self
- leave in email drafts folder
- lots of post it notes
- stickies app on my Mac
And most of the time I'd forget where the links were, or would be too lazy to type out URLs from the post it notes.
As I was looking for a lite full-stack app to work , I decided to build https://getremynd.com
Basically, in any given week, you keep sending all the links you want to revisit to later@getremynd.com. You can send N emails with M links in each email.
On Saturday morning your time, you will get a consolidated digest of all the links you sent through in the previous week. See the attached image for a screenshot of what it looks like.
No log in, auth or account creation. No dramas. I can't guarantee you will have the discipline or time to go through all your links, but at least its all in one place, in a searchable email, consolidated weekly, right? :)
It's not a commercial product, and is very much an "amateurish" tool I built for fun. Just thought I'd share it in case other people found it useful.
Oh, and it's not a substitute for Instapaper/Pocket etc. Those are for long term storing and tagging. This is the step before - this gets you the list of things you intend to read, and then if you love it, store it to your app of choice!
