Mindstone - Save time by optimising your information diet

The Internet is the most powerful learning resource the world has ever seen. It has made information universally available, but the quantity is simply overwhelming. I credit much of my personal and professional growth to the many amazing articles, podcasts and videos written and produced by people much smarter than myself. I would definitely not have been able to help build SuperAwesome without it. I was a pocket user for years, collecting, reading and learning from this amazing content, but always felt it was missing key functionality to be as effective as it should - I built up a “graveyard of information” - my eyes being too big for my reading habits (putting aside too many articles I would never be able to read) - I wanted to annotate, comment and share my thoughts around the content with other people - I wanted to optimise my reading to actually remember it And so we set out to build Mindstone to be **not just a reader**, but truly help you **optimise your information diet**. It helps you - Prioritise what’s important, auto-archiving things that aren’t - Extract key insights by highlighting and annotating content - Automatically generating transcripts from podcasts & videos - Easily share and discuss the content with friends and/or colleagues - And much more Hope it will help you as much as it’s already helping me. Would love to hear any feedback you have to make it better! The internet made information universally accessible. Google organised it. And now Mindstone helps you not just consume, but truly learn from it.

I'm excited to be part of Mindstone's mission to unlock the power of self-directed learning. By boosting productivity in the workplace we're helping people to learn faster and get things done. And productivity is only the beginning: in the coming months we will be adding learning features to help users track their learning and remember more of what they learn.

As someone who previously had a small mountain of bookmarks, saved articles, podcasts queued up to listen to, Mindstone has been a godsend as a way for me to organise the content I'm interested in, adding notes and annotations and now getting the right nudges and insights to help me remember it. Moreover, I use it for portfolio companies quite a lot - I can save content into libraries for folks so that when they ask for recommendations on articles on hiring or podcasts on scaling, I can point them directly to the right resources - including my own notes on the topic. In the interests of full disclosure, I'm not just a user, I'm an investor in the company as well, and I'm really interested for Josh to share their thoughts on the future and how they think they can save people even more time?

With the plethora of amazing resources online, it's imperative for me to have a place I can store and organise the articles I want. I'm also partial to having 30+ tabs open at any given time in browsers to not lose track of those gems. The ability to highlight, share, and even listen to articles has proven invaluable for when I want to re-check that quote, excerpt or learn while in the gym, walking, or relaxing. This has really made consuming information a treat.

Mindstone has played a major part in helping me structurize and optimize my content consumption - and has such a massive potential to do much more!

Launch day :tada: Information gathering and digest can be done in so many ways, but how to know one is doing it as optimal as possible? Triaging, extracting insights and prioritising content are just a few of the things the Mindstone app can help you with. Super excited for this and to be part of the team behind it - do let us know if you have any questions or feedback :D

Love this app. I'm constantly switching between articles and podcasts, reading and listening to A LOT of material but is that really a good thing? Mindstone is helping me to sort through what is truly relevant and then get to the heart of the important stuff so it actually sticks in my brain!

Joshua and the team are building a great platform. They are constantly listening to feedback from early users - like myself - and implementing them. I can't wait to see Mindstone revolutionizes how we consume information in the internet age.

Congratulations guys; delighted to see you out here and really exciting product 💪🏻👍🏻

Interesting idea! Congrats on launch! 🎉

Being an educator myself, I immediately identified with the Wöhlenesque quote ' I built up a “graveyard of information” - my eyes being too big for my reading habits (putting aside too many articles I would never be able to read)' Mindstone really is evolving into something quite unique. Not only dealing with the gathering information thing but collating all of that data and then having the ability to act on it with the Mindstone tools. For me, the favourite feature is Auto-transcribe which I use quite often when learning from watching videos and is a real time saver. I'm onto my next teaching subject so Mindstone is going to be a real godsend now that I've learnt the basics and can start using it more on a day to day basis as opposed to a project focused approach. I'm planning on using the Cue Cards a lot more to actively learn and test myself in order to heighten brain data retention. Keep up the good work.

I'm extremely excited to be a part of this. As both an employee and user of Mindstone, my favourite feature is absolutely the automatic transcript that is attached to videos in a Mindstone inbox. The ability to locate, and immediately arrive at, the exact point in a video where the topic you’re looking for is being discussed, is such a crucial time saver - especially for someone trying to maximise their productivity. More than anything, I'm excited to watch the journey unfold as Mindstone realises its vision: a world where anyone can learn anything as fast as humanly possible, and where that learning is recognised everywhere

After using multiple apps over the years (Pocket, Readwise, etc.) Mindstone finally improved the way I consume and organise information. If you are interested in learning faster, you must try this one out.

Mindstone really helps me go from the forehose of content that comes at me every day to consuming and extracting value from what's most important. Excited to be part of the team helping others to also get the most from their information diet.

Awesome - excited to see add this to my evening reading schedule!

Absolute game-changer of a product! Love it!

Congratulations @joshuawohle 🚀 I am very passionate about the vision to create a single source of truth for all learnings made in a non-formal way. Curiosity is the way to lead things forward.

I moved from Pocket to Mindstone - so much more functionality and ability to easily collaborate on shared documents is a gamechanger.

Amazing product! Great Work!

Great product! Wish you good luck!
