Building an AI & Tech News Digest from Email Newsletters and HackerNews

Keeping up with AI and tech news had become a full-time job. Superhuman AI newsletters, TLDR digests, HackerNews front page, Reddit ML discussions — easily an hour a day just staying current.

The methodology itself has never been the problem — the problem has always been the tooling. GTD asks you to maintain an inbox, a task tracker, a calendar, reference files, and a regular review habit. In practice that means juggling three or four apps, copying things between them, and spending real effort just keeping the system running. Every few years I’d burn out on the maintenance overhead and start over with a new stack. ...
