Love the gardening/farming metaphor. I also use it in the context of investing in myself and those around me, not necessarily for immediately perceivable results. Anytime we do something like reading it's planting a seed for ourselves at some unknowable time in the future for harvesting. I actually themed a passive learning app I made (https://harvest.li) around it :p
+1 for spaced repetition. I automated a schedule (1, 7, 17, 35 days) based on the SuperMemo algorithm for stuff that I read that I want to remember. Currently exists as a browser extension:
understand completely about the google signin. will look into how to display the URL as well to give people peace of mind. one day soon will add a dedicated authentication service.. this was just the easiest way to get up and running.
getting signed out happens for a variety of reasons, probably unrelated to the extension itself. ill keep an eye out though to see if there is a systematic reason
thks for the link. i think main difference is that harvest uses spaced repetition for passive learning, i dont want to see every thing every time i open a new tab. i like looking at my momentum backgrounds :)
google extensions are basically all javascript :p and the styling is from https://semantic-ui.com/
backend is node
planning to make a simple mobile app so i can save stuff from my phone too.
i can do a more detailed writeup later on!
Passive learning. Whenever I come across something cool or interesting, I put it into a chrome extension I made called "Harvest". It sends me email reminders of what I've added on a spaced repetition schedule (1, 7, 17, 35 days into the future) for optimal retention
Yep - same things that you submitted. I use it for new concepts, interesting ideas, lifehacks, quotes.. anything I want to be reminded of in the future
I always find useful tidbits or inspiring quotes as I browse the internet. Harvest lets me write or copy & paste the text so I can be reminded of them later with an automated email scheduled with a spaced repetition algorithm for optimal memory and learning. Try it out and let me know what you think!
