Not sure, your exact idea has been mentioned many times as "I really want it to exist, but don't have time to do it".

The first mention in the episode notes goes back to 2012 (http://techzinglive.com/page/1077/189-tz-discussion-synthesi...) I think, it mentions spaced repetition and those two were close together.

Nice! There are plenty of spaced-repetition tools out there, but I wanted to make it really easy to add info into a database, and I thought that text selection would be the easiest.

That episode mentions Gary Wolf's 2008 Wired article [Want to Remember Everything You’ll Ever Learn? Surrender to This Algorithm](http://www.wired.com/2008/04/ff-wozniak/), which I think is what inspired me to create Hibou.
