I appreciate the detailed answer. That's a really good point about the software boundary and how that adds friction to just creating cards in the first place.
I like the idea of an inbox where you just toss things you think are worth remembering and maybe having a browser plugin or OS shortcut to save highlighted bits of info, but not necessarily creating a flashcard immediately from it. There's definitely some concrete things I can prototype here to try to make that workflow easier. And I can see how taking those tidbits of info and passing them to AI to create flashcards is doable too.
No problem - I'm happy to help. I spend way too much time thinking about this type of stuff.
I'm glad this has resonated, good luck with the prototypes. Let me know if you ever want more feedback.
