For email, I think you're right it would need to be frictionless. There are some new email technologies that let you embed dynamic interactions in your email - we might play with that at some point.

So this is probably hard to do as a plugin tbh, but I'd love to explore eventually as a feature.

You can upgrade to the Pro version for $10/month if you want tables, PDF uploads, and more.

The $18 version is our most expensive plan that includes AI credits as well.

It's not at the OS level, but I think a focused standalone all-in-one experience is actually better. We've explored a chrome extension here that does something similar to what you suggest, but it somehow hasn't proven useful in practice. I always keep coming back to just doing everything directly in the tool (upload PDF, take notes, make cards), as it helps me focus deeply on what I'm learning.

As a student and researcher, I had become increasingly aware of how little I remembered after reading an article or completing a course. I was also frustrated with how hard it was to keep my thoughts, research, and projects organized. I needed a tool to streamline my thinking, connect ideas, and optimize my learning for the long term.

RemNote is that tool - an all-in-one workspace to take notes, organize thoughts, learn anything, and grow knowledge.

- Students & learners use RemNote as a long-term learning platform, mastering content through note-taking, integrated spaced-repetition flashcards, PDF annotation, and knowledge-graphing.

- Creators & writers use RemNote as an idea-generation platform, sparking ideas by leveraging references, [[backlinks]], portals, aliases, and graph views.

- Thinkers and organizers use RemNote as a second-brain, staying organized with fast search, templates, to-dos, tags, and other simple-but-powerful organizational features.

I personally find that RemNote works especially well for computer-science concepts; I can carefully piece-apart every component of the system I'm learning and then internalize it with spaced repetition.

You can use it completely offline with our desktop app, or use the synced version across web/mobile/desktop. We're still rapidly building, and I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I have a main "unsorted todos" inbox that I can quickly add to from anywhere (I just hit CTRL + ALT + E). I then go through this list and organize it by moving the ideas to specific features that I'm building / designing. My high-level areas of focus are already set up, so this organization process is pretty fast.

I like keeping my todo list with the rest of my notes, because I can write long brainstorming docs paired with my todos. Additionally, I can make linked references to the todos from elsewhere in my notes.

However, I agree that it's more useful to memorize/internalize concepts than syntax. One of the limitations with anki/supermemo's flashcard-based design is that it's hard to break down complex ideas because you're limited to the flashcard format. I've built a new tool that lets you generate flashcards right from your notes to make it easier to break down new ideas. It's called RemNote: https://www.remnote.io/.

My memory was pretty terrible before I started using this and that problem is now largely solved :)
