What is YellowNotes for the Cloud?
YellowNotes is a lightweight note system inspired by sticky notes and seeks to replicate this functionality on the web. Create, tag, and organize quick thoughts that drift into thematic clouds you can revisit later.
Use it to jot down tasks, save links, brainstorm, or sketch plans — then group them and search across all your notes. And make this selectively available to others.
AI(LLM)-based chat services require you to know what are asking about to get good results. "Prompt-engineering" puts the onus on the user to make good sense. What if you could use someone elses sense; Someone you selected because you trust their judgement? Not something computed from the sum-total of information scraped from the intenret. But the judgement on apropriate material selected by a person you trust.
Do you have special insights or expertise? Do you have a sense of judgment. YellowNotes comes with a AI chat interface where people can engage with your notes. To avail themselves of your judgement. Create a topic of yellownotes on a subject you know well. Add yellownotes to this topic as you find interesting material on the internet. Simpy by sticking a yellownote on a web page, and selecting the topic it should belong to. Maybe narrow the scope by highlighting a particular section on an article. Perhaps adding your remarks. People who subscribe to this topic can use this as a basis for the AI chat bot to ask questions about the material you have tagged and get answers based on your notes and the material you have selected. They no longer need to promp-engieer their way to a sensible answer. They can rely on your judgement to get good answers.
You attach notes to particular spots on the internet and other can see them exactly where you left them - if they subscribe to you. Make your commentary available directly in the context of the web page, article or document you are discussing. This is a way to "tag" the information on the intenet, and this in turn is the basis of our chat-engine
Tiered of receiving link to articles and documents where you have neither
the time nor the inclination to wade through to get to the relevant bit. Do you know that TL-DR" means?
If you send or receive a yellownote attached to the web page in question,
you can read the remarks on the note and click to go-home button to get
taken to the exact location where the note is attached. And if the note was attached to a selection
of the document text, that text will be highlighted.
