      8/ Two, you need some mid-level cognition processing features, which Evernote does well (see: https://blog.evernote.com/blog/2015/12/11/evernote-and-the-brain-designing-creativity-workflows/ … by @fortelabs )

          all of this posits an interesting, viable approach: bookmarks that resurface automatically when browsing thematically similar context.

          the traditional intent behind bookmarking is 'help me remember I'll want this someday.' now we can help identify what day that is.

          Google Bookmarks, most of the time. Notes. But vastly inefficient.
