There were a few rough edges for me with the block-based editing. I chocked it up to me never having used a block-based editor with any frequency.
I stay away from some of the AI features:
- One feature generates additional context for a flashcard as you practice. This burned up my AI credits like crazy and added nothing but distraction to my practice.
- Another AI feature for PDF summarizing just didn't work. It made a claim immediately and clearly contradicted by text in the exact area I was highlighting.
I strongly empathise with your situation. The definition of security and success in south asian countries is wildly different from that in the West. I’m 28 and I moved to the UK, 3 years ago. I did a bunch of open-source work and found an employer who hired me based on my contributions and was willing to sponsor my visa. Other than going to university, open-source contributions are the only option people like us to move to the West.
I understand why you feel like everything is chaotic. But, remember that most people don’t have the kind of time you have (you are only 19 and can afford to take a lot of risks). There maybe many things that are not in your favour, but you also have things that give you an advantage over others. I didn’t even know HN existed until I was 24. Ignore the chaos, focus on yourself. Apna time ayega.
I would recommend The Power Law[1], especially if you don't have any exposure to the startup/VC ecosystem. Contrary to what should be the ideal case, a founder needs to cater to VCs and their perspective of looking at products, just as they must cater to users.
I feel like I would have saved myself a lot of stupid conversations if I had the context this book provides.
Adding articles to Zenfetch separately every time, seems quite inconvenient. Allowing users to sync articles from different RSS feeds (say Newsblur), or their reading app libraries (such as Omnivore/Pocket) seems like a good solution to this problem.
Thank you! We actually do have a few integration options already including Pocket. We also allow you to import a CSV of URLs. More integrations coming soon!
