@anildash.com wrote about perspectives on AI from those outside the tech community, and his post mirrors what I've been observing: www.anildash.com/2025/11/14/w...

And I think meeting this perspective means those who would demand better should do what we can to build and champion "good" AI.

Longer-term, I would like to see more sustainable, smaller and local models stand a chance in this space. And I think this app gives an example of how those could be used for human-supportive goals instead of exploitation and anti-labor practices.

AI is antithetical to learning—it is used to reduce friction and that very friction is something you need in order to learn and grow.

So while I could see implementing OCR to allow for searching handwritten notes, it will never generate notes or summaries for you.

It leverages LLMs for things they can be good at: recommendation engines, classification, while incorporating traditional automation to validate resources.

It explicitly DOES NOT generate learning materials or embed them—you're linked offsite to official creator sources.

Free plan (1 plan/month) available, and for a very limited time you can get 40% off Pro with 2025THANKS.

So there's opportunity to try it out with low/no risk.

I watched the recording of the conversation that followed from that post.
There is so much to think about, so much to balance, between making a style work and honoring user preferences.
