That’s a brutally honest metric, and I think it’s common: most “save for later” is really “offload for now”. The fact you only resurfaced twice doesn’t mean the tool failed — it might mean the capture filter is too loose, or resurfacing is missing a good trigger.

Do you think the better fix is stronger filtering at capture time (keep less), or a lightweight resurfacing habit (e.g. a weekly 10-minute review / 1–2 items per day digest) so more of it gets a fair second look?

I’m exploring this exact “offload vs resurfacing” problem (more context in my HN profile/bio if you’re curious).
