Everything you learn, connected — so it never turns into a pile.

It’s starting from the thing you’re actually chasing: the idea.
That’s a concept — an idea you’re learning, with a name. It isn’t a note or a folder. It’s a place things gather: from now on, everything you find about fermentation has somewhere to belong.
A source is anything you learn from. Each one files under the idea it explains — the moment you save it, not in a cleanup you’ll never do. (Save the same page twice? Still one card.)
“The dough should roughly double in 4–6 hours at room temperature.”
A snippet is the exact passage that mattered. And when it makes you wonder, that becomes a question — linked to the very line that raised it. Doubt, with a return address.
The idea on top. What you’re reading for it, in order. What you still wonder, hanging right where it came from. It always knows what’s next — and nothing here was extra work.

It’s things you wondered, resolved — and the open questions are your real to-do list.
Three copies that will never hear about each other. You can’t see where the ideas connect — and what you learned last month can’t resurface to shape what you’re learning today. Folders don’t connect. Folders just make smaller piles — full of redundant ideas that are hard to find.
One idea, many journeys. Every new domain plugs into what you already know — the sources you read, the passages you clipped, the questions you answered all come with you. Learning compounds instead of starting over.
Publish it as a track — the idea, the sources, the order — and it becomes a page anyone can follow. Someone forks it, bends it toward rye, and passes it on. The way you learned becomes something others build on.
Self-hosted and open source — or try it right now, nothing to install.
