What problem does it solve?
It eliminates the friction of converting scattered source material (URLs, PDFs, transcripts, and pasted text) into consistent, searchable notes in your personal markdown vault.
Core Features & Use Cases
- End-to-end ingest loop: Reads a source, extracts key information, writes a synthesis page, touches related pages, updates index.md, and appends to log.md.
- Multi-source support: Handles media URLs (YouTube/podcasts), existing markdown, web articles, PDFs, and dropped text with the appropriate pipeline per type.
- Vault graph building: Produces pages with wikilinks and aggressively links named entities so your note graph stays navigable over time.
- Never-summarize synthesis: Generates deep-dive artifacts (with TL;DR, findings, tensions, gaps, and actionable takeaways) rather than only compressing text.
- Bulk ingest mode: Batches log entries and writes a manifest while skipping known boilerplate/config files to keep vault hygiene intact.
- Safety guardrails: Avoids ingesting secrets and operational clutter, and includes error handling for transcript acquisition failures.
