- in first step I "tag" urls I like (in rss reader, HN, twitter, pdfs, podcast...). It is very quick, I usually spend like 2 hours per week filtering news.
- latter I collect tagged urls (from email, notes and bookmarks) and feed them into batch job
- batch job downloads text form, and converts them into markdown. HTML are converted with Reader mode, videos have transcripts with time marks...
- this gets converted into new Obsidian vault and synced with Syncthing across my devices.
- there is AI job that does some annotation and linking with existing notes.
- over next weeks (usually two) I slowly "digest" content, read it, and annotate. At end it becomes integrated into my Obsidian notes. I can copy&paste and write directly into articles.
It is very natural process for learning. I spend minimal time dealing with junk content, clickbait, ads... And it works for all types of content including video and PDFs. And offline absolutely rocks!
