Second brain

An Obsidian vault run with Claude that turns the videos and articles I consume into notes, flashcards and post drafts.

The problem

I watched and read a lot, and kept very little. Consuming content felt like learning, but it rarely changed what I did.

What I built

A pipeline that turns YouTube videos and web articles into notes, then into one-idea insights, topic summaries and flashcards. It runs every day. From any idea, it can draft posts for each channel.

What I learned

Only changed behaviour counts as learning. The system is useful because it ends in an action: a flashcard, an experiment or a post.
