Ask HN: Do you also "hoard" notes/links but struggle to turn them into actions?

Thank you for your free comments. That makes sense. Local-first seems like the only viable starting point for “important” notes. On pricing: would you prefer a one-time purchase, or “bring your own model” (Ollama etc.) so the ongoing cost is basically compute you already own? Also: what would be an acceptable failure mode — missing suggestions vs occasional wrong suggestions?

One-time purchase for an existing model (eg, works right out of the box) OR bring-your-own-model would be great.

As far as failure mode -- missing suggestions is rather unavoidable, isn't it? So occasional wrong suggestions would be fun as long as they're clearly shown. Something like "I'm not sure, but there might be a solution with..." would be ideal; it lets me explore knowing that it might be a wrong direction.

I like your “I’m not sure, but there might be a solution…” phrasing because it sets the right expectation and invites exploration without pretending certainty. One thing I’m thinking about is making every suggestion come with a short confidence signal plus the specific evidence it’s based on (so you can sanity-check fast), and keeping the interaction pull-based so it never interrupts you.

Re pricing: one-time purchase or BYO model makes a lot of sense for this kind of personal workflow tool.

More context on the direction I’m validating is in my HN profile/bio if you want to compare notes.
