media bookmarking is solved. consumption of the bookmarks is not. i built something to solve it.

i built the first version of cabinette.io

it started from a personal problem: i save too many articles, youtube videos, pdfs, and notes, then rarely return to them.

over time, my saved stuff started feeling less like a library and more like a graveyard. cabinette is my attempt to fix that.

the idea is simple - instead of just saving things, you tell cabinet how much time you have. maybe 10, 20, or 45 minutes. it then shows you articles, videos, or pdfs from your own library that fit that time slot.

so the question changes from “what should i read/watch?" to “what can i actually get through right now?”

i’m also building the other pieces around that:

  • saving articles, videos, pdfs, and notes in one place
  • taking notes while reading or watching
  • highlighting useful parts
  • asking questions about a specific article or video via inbuilt ai chat
  • asking questions across your whole library

it’s meant for people who already save a lot of things using notion, readwise, pocket, raindrop, apple notes, bookmarks, youtube watch later, etc., but feel like most of it never gets revisited.

i’m not trying to sell anything right now. i’m trying to understand if this is a real enough pain for other people too.

would love feedback from anyone who has this problem. thanks!
