zeuslawyer··on Show HN: Remynd: a weekly digest of links you want to revisit
Great question! I personally, use pocket to be a long term storage and retrieval solution for things I really like and value. But over the course of the week i come across (almost entirely on my phone) lots of news articles , videos, and podcasts that I dont have time right away to check, and I'd like to check on the weekend. So with Remynd I simply use the "share" function to email that item to later@getremynd.com so that i dont have to worry about jotting it down. On saturday morning I get it all collected in a single email for the past week.

most of the links I dont want to store, but about 10% of them I really like and those I add to Pocket.

So really this is an alternative to texting yourself links you want to revisit, or saving them on stickies or a draft email, if that makes sense?

So really, Remynd is just a way for my to actually visit all the links I wanted to check out, rather than a way to store stuff I've checked out and value enough to store.

I've got about 22 people using it the 3 weeks and some of the "power users" ( 10+ links sent a week) say that they are emailing more stuff to themselves now because they know there is an organised way to find them later on (the weekly email). I think they're getting their weekly digest and then are able to search for emails from @remynd to trace back stuff that they want. I tend to just go through my digest in a single sitting because I only send stuff to myself that I'm serious about wanting to check out. I use it extensively for keeping up with engineering topics i like to make sure I read up on them rather than they falling through the cracks.

Hope that helps!

Hi Folks, As Melbourne has been locked down hard the last few months I found myself reading more articles and listening to more podcasts. Was constantly losing links by emailing or texting them to myself so made getremynd.com (https://getremynd.com). To be very explicit: it is not commercial. it's a tool I made for fun, utility and learning. Don't expect a sophisticated product! It works because it's simple and requires no signup/login.

Interestingly, I still do not read/listen to 100% of the links but I think i've (at least) doubled my low completion rate.

The idea is simple. Every Saturday you get an email with a list of links you sent to Remynd from that week, organized by subject line.

That's it!

Always open to (constructive) feedback and suggestions.

Cheers & stay safe!

I think this is cool! How is it going so far?
zeuslawyer··on Ask HN: Recruiting agencies that focus on remote opportunities?
I live in Australia too, and I think this could be pretty dang useful! Anyone have experience on noob programmers in terms of getting remote gigs? I'm a career changer, after 15 years in corporate.

Thanks! i had updated the question to specify non-tech roles, and that must have happened just after you replied!

zeuslawyer··on Where to start for learning Robotics?
I am the first to admit I don't know much about the field. However, I did notice this last week, when looking to skill up. Would love to here the jury out there on whether it's useful? https://www.udacity.com/course/robotics-software-engineer--n...

zeuslawyer··on Ask HN: Why did your startup fail and what did you learn?
I would love to see the backend open sourced as well, as I think this is something that could be quite unique to each country. I'm in Melbourne, Australia and biking safety is a big deal here - i ride everywhere. The uniqueness of each area would lend itself well to localisation via open source. I'm at zubin.pratap at gmail - do let me know!
