Wonderful post! > Why can't I search across watched youtube videos even though most of them have subtitles hence allow for full text search? This blows my mind every time I'm on youtube... so much potential, and yet. > Often, a friend recommends you a book so you want it to add to your reading list. Yep. For a while I was collecting them in a spreadsheet. After about two years I've realized it's actually a lot more about the context of why/where/when I added a book rather than it simply existing in a long list. Even though I had "Source" and "Date Added" as columns, I (still) have no way of grouping them by topic cross-referenced with my notes. Also, the conversation in which I received the recommendation likely has valuable context I haven't included, and good luck deep-linking to a message. (Telegram handles this OK, but Gmail? Or god f

orbid iMessage). > Why can't I see what was my heart rate (i.e. excitement) and speed side by side with the video I recorded on GoPro while skiing? Another angle I've considered: the past four (text/email/GPS) interactions with (some person) has resulted in higher stress levels ... this is an insight I typically extract from writing about my day. Would be interesting to have it suggested to me. Yes, lots of privacy implications here. > It's just a matter of regularly fetching new stories/comments by a person and showing new items, right? Not sure if you've seen fraidycat [0] and the discussion [1]. Basically, a fetch-and-consume model for blogs, Twitter, etc with frequency/priority levels. > Why am I forced to manually copy transactions from different banking apps into a spreadsheet? Plaid [2] looks promising, but I haven't built anything noteworthy with it yet. > Why can't I easily share my web or book highlights with a friend? This is ridiculously hard. I think my favorite solution to date is to copy-paste the whole article into a Google Drive doc and annotate it. Not a good solution, I know. > I wonder what computing pioneers like Douglas Engelbart (e.g. see Augmenting Human Intellect) or Alan Kay thought/think about it and if they'd share my disappointment. I imagine they would be/are very upset. 0 - https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/issues 1 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21802952 2 - https://plaid.com/
