I think the product has come a long way in the past 12 months and is now way more more powerful than in the beginning. 1
We'll talk to Francesco soon, we'll definitely submit there as well 2

Is it just me or does Capacities have the best dev team in the world?
Every release makes my life a little bit better
(not sure what it says about my life though...)

sounds not well balanced…
one can try metaphor.systems; not much known / talked about, but has decent, out of ordinary search results
then if you want to go 'the other way' completely, there is the 'outsider' (art) project Shmoogle, randomizing search results completely. You find stuff you‘d never expected
also, as a decent - if mainstream - search alternative I found You.com-search worthwhile; but haven‘t checked it for a while
very selected and the hip way one can also use are.na as search tool. kind of art-nerd-academic version of Pinterest. no bullshit, no ads… but also very non-mainstream / mainstreet
… as we enter into ,hacks‘of the principle of ‚search-engine‘, one of my favorite short circuits is using image search of the big ones as for that purpose. very browsable way of result list :-)… and I find it‘s much less compromised by ad-abduction and SEO-spoiling….

… actually it‘s decent sourcing and reliable output made me propose it as rolemodel for something I would like to see in such a PKM-oriented tool as Capacities…
… it steers away from debate temperatures, smudgy sources, and intransparent results w/o reference (though, with the right prompts and modifiers you can also make ChatGPT provide some decent info and links, of course…) 4 1 2 3 1 1

There is also Hey… If you are not tied to a provider and are willing to pay ($99/year). It’s made by the founders of basecamp, they tried to reinvent all the annoying things about email, and in my view they got most of it right (I’ve been using it for 2 years now). Essentially I see it as the best email service that was created since gmail arrived in 2004.
The app is based on workflows and has dedicated views to make life easier, like “reply later + focus & reply” to quickly answer your emails in bulk, or “the feed” which displays your newsletters in a scrollable view without having to open them (that’s a BIG time saver for me!). Merging and renaming threads…
There are many other nice features: https://www.hey.com/features/
Simple but smart and well thought through.
And they have nice apps (to answer your question )
Let’s be clear… Switching to Hey is a commitment, because it means a) paying for email and b) switching providers (they host your email, it’s not a client app over an email service like gmail or outlook), but the benefits are significant if you use email a lot for personal or as a small business.
Also, consider that you pay because the data is and remains yours, they will not sell your data or look into it to put targeted ads in your face (there are no ads), and this can mean a lot to some people.
All in all, having used it for 2 years, I find it’s a great value service for a subscription cost that’s less than Spotify or Netflix

and by looking at other properties, audience can conclude that MyMind can be used to store Knowledge with Simple approach without hierarchy nor any shiny feature
well, I guess I will redefine it if I come up with more proper terms to differentiate those 2 cases (knowledge & simple collecting) 1

– even more so than 'project'
... but, I´d hopefully look on to you sharing your insights here with the community!
– at least, to my mind / thinking, some more nuanced discussion / elaboration / deliberation of what the 'P' in 'Personal PKM' does / could / should mean, and what basic aspects / operations define it would be helpful and welcome! – generally, as in terms of getting the characteristics and prioritizations for Capacities right in the long run (I would still love to hear M&S´s take on what their – evolving – understanding of PKM is ).
... in that respect, your Notion-'project' might be 'off-topic'. but I think the topic is 'on topic' here
anyway, thanks for sharing all this here! – even more so than 'project'

I feel that spent time would be wasted if I don't have any output 
also, as much as I love Capacities, I can't just recommend it to every type of person. so I think if I want to recommend apps to people, I need to make it easier to categorize their needs
thanks for the input too! 2 1 1 1
1st of all, I always think it´s funny some people assume that there is 1 grid – or 1 evaluation that can rule a billion of people, some 10.000 of apps, and probably 500 - 1000 existing and crossbreeding methodologies. add to that the idiosyncracies of personal style, what is available in the ecosystem and the natural bend to reduce any working system to a flow-chart of 4 or 5 apps...
... so, there will always be breaking points once looking at specific people and set-ups.
that said: fair enough!
I admit, I use Things 3 for something like that : as go-to inbox – because it´s fastest, easiest, consistent across devices, etc.
– so, is it a collection tool? no. is it good for a global personal in-/jotbox?.. surely one (I) can make it so.
what I would say to this case: the 'inbox' aspect might override the collection aspect.
... so while totally seeing such a use-scenario, if anybody seriously asks me for a collection tool, I (personally) would surely not recommend an infinite outliner tool.
– Things 3, for me, is the pre-stage to real 'collection'. a jotting-down for later collection. any serious collection tool, in my use, would need things like visual grids, decent media management + some more (which I would have to think about...)
you yourself seem to have found a solution of such an 'inbox' that suits your style, + crosses over to quick-and-dirty task list... + probably fullfils some other benefits in your ecosystem – among them integrating very diverse functional domains in an easy fashion, and maybe reaping the benefits that come with using 1 app for several others
all that is not to say, there can´t be an argument made for Workflowy as collection tool. as said: all a matter of disgression, philosophy etc.
having said all that, I still think – and feel your comment underlines this – a conceptual differentiation of collection, note-taking, projects etc. has good value to it...

feature. Certain topics are just giant toads and I like how they acknowledge that.
I will say that Tick Tick is a very stripped down but very good version of this and has habit tracking, pomodoro, eisenhower matrix and the best calendar/reminder system I’ve used so far. (I have not put my calendar in Amazing Marvin, because my calendar is usually overwhelming and triggering) but Tick Tick has taken the pain out of my calendar and reminded me of a VERY IMPORTANT appointment I’d totally forgotten about and that neither my google or apple calendar reminded me of (i have calendar fatigue).
I think that AM is really onto something and I’m willing to try it for task management (especially since I’ve Overwhelmed/overdumped into my Click Up) and keep Tick Tick for calendar/reminders. 2 1 feature. Certain topics are just giant toads and I like how they acknowledge that.

.
it works quite well for that as it
• has aesthetic, minimalist UI
• quick access / low friction / no clutter & distraction
• works very consistent btw devices
• low 'architectural depth' combined w/ intelligent functions, deeply embedded in Mac-ecosystem
... so it kind of lives on the other end of the spectrum vis-a-vis CAP; and does a range of very basic input & 'get things down' stuff that CAP still has to work on...
'integration' for me is very much copy'n'paste. but deeplinks would also work well, as T3 was one of front runners here...
... recently, and via wink of @Desiderata I am just testing to what extent AmazingMarvin can replace my T3 uses; .... which would mean a return from very list-oriented mode of (task-)work to those 'deeper', 'operation room' paradigms... so still scratching my head here... possibly bot will serve different ends in the end & I keep T3 as inbox and AM for steeper task / calendar management... 2 1 2 1 2

I’d previously just been a beta tester for 3.0 mobile. 1 That's also why in turn I try to give back where I can
As an example, I'm currently in a mini 'crisis' of how I should manage my personal goals & tasks (once again...) and struggling to find how to manage from Goals -> Projects -> Tasks & habits, from top level aspirations to detailed actions.
I was recently triggered on this when I stumbled upon the Brite app (see above) which on paper answers all my needs and sounded perfect, but in reality... it's crap (sorry I don't like to say that kind of thing but it's true, as it stands it's more of an alpha, with data loss, etc and they are over-selling their product)
For the sake of keeping my system simple and everything connected in 1 place, I was hoping to find an app that could cover those 3 levels of a life OS, but I'm coming to the realization that it's probably a lure, like you said, one will never (rarely) find the one app that fits everything and we should just accept it instead of being frustrated.
Anyway, this is definitely a good place to share thoughts about tools and workflows, and I didn't expect to have this kind of conversation when I initially joined the Capacities server ), like goals, habits... and its absolute malleability... and its very fine mobile companion app (which makes sense and really embraces the philosophy of 'mobile as context and 'modality of working')
2) CU ... is something I have to use at work... and maybe this is why I bulk away to embrace it for personal use... but somehow... it has all the right ingredients... but I can´t wrap around its aesthetic culture and the 'feel' of it... but I can see why people turn it into a central operation room for themselves given its immense multi-dimensional power (I once had such an affair with Asana...) . but to drop a nutshell version of a thought (easily extendible across 5 posts here ) & bec I really wonder about the reason for all this creative, catering + constructive vitality of this particular forum myself.
its this: while a lot is certainly owed to the – ever decent – unique style of interaction w/ the 'user base' (community) by @Michael_v_H + @Steffen , I think there is another, structural reason (though, all this can´t be separated off, in final analysis): I think Capacities gave a real magic mix of UI-structures and functionalities from outset (driven by its fundamental ideas / fragrances: 'typed / phenomenological knowledge'; the idea of an integrated 'studio' that turns databases into 'livable' + 'inhabitable', highly configurable spaces that are well confectioned & can really be resided in etc.). this lead to an initial crowd here, open for new ways of approaching the knowledge space and game... and with it comes a certain style + openness of thinking in relation to knowledge structures and tools... and, again, with that comes a pleasant discursive fragrance + culture of conversation...
... this originary constellation is also the reason why I see with fret some ebbs + flows coming with popularization ( in itself of course something wanted + good): it entails the danger of losing the culture of discussion around genuinely new ways of interfacing, configuring and processing knowledge (processes) [shout out to @boonikad9300 here ], at cost of discussing 'killer features', 'feature parity' chase, 'universal solutionism' etc. – but, as so many good, 'non-aligned' people are at core of these discussions + exchanges here, plus with such unique developer culture and attitude, I am quite hopeful all this is 'a republic to be kept'...

as @nicolas67🥨⛵🛠🎵 was / is doing something likewise but using Workflowy, I think the overall message really is: whatever tool you can use w/ ease & speed across devices, can basically serve as 'inbox'-app
... so some use Drafts, other Notes, or NotePlan etc.
I use Things 3, for what it brings to the table (w/ caveat that it doesn't serve for images & media)...
... so, currently I am also using (testing) Muse for those additional cases...
... but let me know if I can be of further help here...! 3

so, looking as much forward (& investing hope) into CAP:
• allowing indexing of PDFs
• coming up with its own generalized & hopefully interoperable system of annotations...!
(– then I will only have to leave it for – freeform boarding; interactive graphs / mappings; final write-up

I’m a free bot supported by the team at readwise.io, offering a few capabilities:
Every time someone sends a message in this server containing a URL (excluding links like images and gifs), I’ll add the URL to a Hacker News/Reddit-like news aggregator hosted here.
You can always use the slash command 
/url to pull up this URL if you forget.
In addition to the news aggregator, I’ll also parse the contents of any article into a custom RSS feed for this server which you can add to your favorite RSS feed reader hosted here.
You can always use the slash command /rss to pull up the URL of this RSS feed if you forget.
One of the cool things about this RSS feed is it contains a section at the top and bottom of each article giving credit to the OP with a hyperlink to start a threaded discussion here in Discord!
If you don’t want a URL to be included in the feed, tap the ❌ reacji and I’ll remove it (with an option to undo).
In addition to aggregating a custom feed for this Discord server, I also enable message bookmarking:
If you react with a emoji, I’ll DM you a copy of the message for safekeeping.
If you react with a emoji, I’ll save the message to your Readwise account (purely optional).
If you have any feedback, suggestions, complaints, and so on, please email us at hello+discordbot@readwise.io!

From those 4 symptoms mentioned, I have the first 2 2
On this one I have to pass to / wait for others to comment. Coda indeed looks interesting & worthwhile, but I have no experience in it. Actually, I just downloaded it bec of your post here.
I can feel the general gist of your question / remark, as certainly around some edges Capacities is not yet the full studio, we all would want it to be (– but then, it probably never truly will and can be, the 'one & only', anyways...). for me – alongside the question of integration in local system – the graphical / freeform side of things, as the integration in real MD-and-after writing arch are the two main 'missing edges', when looked at things from the 'studio'-metaphor perspective.
– so around these aspects other apps, like Typora, Scrivener et al., still have a firm place in my workflow, too. and indeed Coda to me looks like a bunked up Typora with an extended interface for multi-document management (– which is useful, as this while present in Typora is only rudimentary and not the most convenient / natural UX).
So, like you, I will be happy to hear other voices and experiences on this, by people who actually have some working experience in this... / 1 1 1 1

Everyone. Just wanted to share that Capacities is the Partner of the Month for Hookmark maker CogSciApps. They've (the team) has received a great mention by the CEO. I'm new to all of this, but I know enough to think a shout-out from a veteran developer [that makes Hookmark] is pretty cool as it seems to be a venerable, well regarded app in the Mac App community (along with apps like DevonThink).
I'm not affiliated with either app, just a customer, but I thought it was really cool to see Capacities mentioned.
I've attached a screenshot of the blurb from their newsletter praising Capacities.
Also, Hookmark Pro is on sale (This is not an affiliate code, just a general one)
Here's a link or you can just Google "Hookmark."

Thanksgiving sale!
From now until Nov 26 inclusively you can get 35% off Hookmark Pro. It's a perfect opportunity for you to gift Hookmark to a relative, friend, lover, or colleague! Use this coupon code: THANKS-COGSCI-APPS.
I purchased Hookmark as soon as Capacities announced their partnership. I wasn't quite clear on exactly how it worked, but I was excited about anything that could help me link things together. I've been hooking things ever since.
In any case, off I go.
I hope this post is OK with the management, if not, please let me know and I'll delete it ASAP.

... but I am also often convinced that using seperate apps for seperate domains of life is helpful & rather clarifies / stremalines things...
I guess, that is the one reason apps like DayOne are so popular; people don't want to journal their life / memories in their database app, etc...

… but, feel free to follow-up + get into deep fractal aspects of all of it
generally, I hoped (+ still hope) Hepta is picking this up, i.e. offering a fully-integrated, ready-at-hand solution (like Capacities ) for an easy, non-arcane, non-tinkery cardboard combining cards, text, multimodality, and intelligent referentiality / context-creation + -browsing(!)… as they currently re-work their 'card'-system to include non-text cards into their DB-logic, there´s some hope... I also hope they re-simplify, as they have a good track record on UI, but – I feel – recently they also suffer from ´meta-app'-overload (ie UX friction, again) – let´s see…
while being very friendly + open to all these apps, I am repeatedly bumped back to Capacities – also for it´s visual side, using its layout strengths(!), + possibly embeds etc. (Apple Freeform, of all, finally lures, after too many bumps from the 'high-fliers'…) [#1] I don´t want to be repeating or being larmoyant, as a lot of stuff I have already said here in forums, and maybe even more when Canny was still a thing...
short version (skipping minor aspects, individual functions & details):
Scrintal has a very(!) promising metaphorical logic and started very well. it´s strength lies also with staying within one metaphorical architecture (until recently).
... my friction starts with
the final 'binding' of the UI / UX, especially the 'cards' (which are not cards [...yet?]) cluttering the board view. there is an easy remedy (see my proposal for right sidebar), IMO. but I feel Scrintal is going the way of others looking for market (VC): rather implementing 'all the new stuff' (Readwise, Tasks, AI,...) piling things on w/o integrating within a paradigm / coherent (= flow) metaphor of use – so, practically the balance of left-, right sidebar, modals, and document- / card logics still has not fallen into place according to the (Scrintal) north star of 'flow' (again, IMO)
the visual nature of the board (see old Canny for that) – which should be central – is neglected. this ties in with prior point. but since early days a host of people point to the need for more graphical freedom / versatility of the board (shapes, mappings, drawings, freeform images etc. – for a good reference of what is possible / state of art see Obsidian Canvas plus Canvas Candy). Again, this would seem basic for me for an app basing itself on a visual board... but again other things take forefront (task managing, excerpting tools from certain 3rd party devs etc.)... 1 [#2] … leading to my 'half point (admittedly more on the side of style and 'reading signs'):
2 1/2 : after a long time of watching (and participating) I am not convinced of the 'feedback' model of Scrintal – a thing that is basic in such avantgardistic projects: (coherent, conceptual) vision and collective (user) intelligence. here I sometimes feel reformulation takes over where conceptual refinement / solidification / mending would be needed. plus, I am not thrilled by the lo-fi 'resonance' of the forum, which often prefers 'confirmation bias', or ... silence. – so, while I am open here to re-look if there is movement, my level of cinfidence in deep and user aligned sustainable development has taken a little hit... here I am comparing to quite contrasting experiences at Obsidian (still), Capacities, and also Hepta... – over longer time I have learned to base my strategical decisions as much on function / flow / architecture, as on these indexes of 'social / cultural fabric' of any product, i.e. its forums and development cultures. of course, everyone here has different tastes and styles... but for me, in the end, there is the need to feel a kind of alignment in terms of accessibility of the project (devs and community) and a 'breathing' collective exchange (feedback system).
so, that it. that was my debrief; kind of summary also.

– so, I pretty much hope this doesn´t give anyone in the team a (professional) personal existential crisis (PPEC)
... but it's of course good to start discussing the nature of this; … beyond labels (– or, maybe, 'thru' labels)
here is the very personal 'north star' (minimal nutshell version) I am going by (one of them) – to keep it simple, and enter into the question (as I would also say 'PKM' is as much a question as a term as a programmatic label):
"The term personal knowledge management (PKM) isn’t about management in a business sense but rather how we can manage to make sense of information and experience in our electronic surround.
Personal – according to one’s abilities, interests & motivation (not directed by external forces).
Knowledge – connecting information to experience (know what, know who, know how).
Management – getting things done."
from one of my personal heroes.

like Scrintal paying users directly for making their 'community' marketing.
if you ask me, as someone not interested in 'art' NFTs at all, if asked, I would even prefer such symbolic gestures by people who believe in the 'promise' of blockchain & DAO (outside of the cryptocurrency hype), to people paying banal cash to 'promote' something people obviously do not believe in by the depth of their hearts...
btw, all this was just dropping a new system; plus one discussing DAO as concept of development... not sure we should get too hung-up on this NFT-decoration thing... ♂️ 1 1 1 1

I am actually combining multiple tools, using each for the purpose that it serves best (with a strict distinction of the use cases, not to face the problem of “not knowing where to look for”), and this is because limited human lifetime, resources and technology did not allow anyone to build anything that could be perfect.
Yeah, I know, it sounds a bit philosophical
But it’s really very practical to realize that we are always dealing with tradeoffs, as @tianovi pointed out.
The thing I probably meant is if one is deciding whether one should build a local-first product or cloud-first, and if one has enough resources, one will end up with a better, superior product in the end if one takes the “local-first” path.
This does not mean that this will always be a priority for everyone, and that any product that does not follow that path would drown. Not at all!
But frankly I don’t remember any popular software product that would be commonly referenced to as “exceptional” in terms of UI/UX and would not have “local first” built-in. 2 2

– it´s all in: 'Once you have built solid systems, your app of choice is secondary.'
… then, I have come to realize another thing: the app is not there to provide 'the system'. but it provides a) a good intuitive interaction and editing environment, that is an UI that brings functional complexity and flow into one; b) a good set of processual 'metaphors' that work to support you setting up your system in a good / easy to inhabit & mold 'habit / ergonomy environment' …
… and in that the app quality does count, IMO 2 1 1 1
took around 2 weeks iirc because I was not simply moving them, but reorganized them with more proper approach benefiting object linking (I used to still treat objects as how I treated databases in Notion before )

The UI is gorgeous and just makes sense to me.
And the Time Slots feature is by far the best way to plan out your day. It’s expensive, but it is one of the few apps that I feel is worth a high price tag.
I followed Sunsama for better part of 3 years while I lobbied them for it (along with ~1200 others), and then few weeks ago they launched Apple Calendar integration.
I've also lobbied apple for a "modern web api" for their calendar for a while now. Devs tell me it takes ~10x the effort as the others, so, mostly, it stays in backlogs. :/

Definitely it's an open question and I don't see it getting resolved with a clear categorization anytime soon.
Isn't this whole digitization of PKM a very new thing?
Task managers were there for a pretty long time and Project management apps were a part of internal mechanism until the last decade.
For personal knowledge management and productivity, all the maximalist ideas of adding myriad of systems and concepts is sort of counterproductive and sooner people realize it the better for their life.
While PARA has been hugely adopted but how was the world bridging this gap between knowledge and projects before Tiago Forte came up with this idea?
Btw, How do you analyze or improvise your knowledge sessions to suit your overall aspiration of Knowledge structuring? Would you keep it organic and spontaneous or would you try and maneuver the intent and designing of the session as per your contemporary perceptions? its not as "note-bookish" as notability and others but I also love the handwriting recognition and use it a lot! 1

Yes, you pay a subscription for each platform, unless you use iPhone/Mac (my case), so is just one. But the prices are one time fees, and even for me who lives in Brazil and suffers with the USD dollars conversion, it’s a good price.
If you’re looking for a simple app that offers the best handwritten experience + conversion to text, that’s it. And as a bonus it offfers infinite canvas, that is just a delight to use to think and idealize things.
But if you’re used to apps like GoodNotes that offer stickers and inside links, and granular customization of pages and decorations, you’ll find Nebo just basic. And it really is! But is also very powerful!
My use case is that I love to write and doodle by hand anything, but was tired of forgetting where I put any information, and between different notebooks and infinite post-it’s, I found myself never finding information again… So I need an app that I can write normally and that recognizes text, so I can use digital search trough my “analogic” annotations.
For that, in my opinion, Nebo is the fastest and most accurate. But is a simple app. I suggest you test it out first, their free plan is ok! 1 1

That, and the fact that I simply cannot bulk-upload, nor bulk-select and I have to change each tag icon and color by hand in the year of 2024, is making me waste sooo much time and energy into tinkering and adjusting Capacities than effectively using it. I just realized this after 3 months of being a PRO member and reading all the documentation and watching all the video-tutorials and having the amazing support of this community!
The amount of work I have to do to simply create a simple object with a YouTube video embedded does not justify! The wonderful @Kuntal Go | Go for it 🚀 gave me amazing workarounds, but I am a sewing teacher, I need to save daily lots of visual references, and having to convert the weblinks one by one are just a pain!
And don't even let me start on the whatsapp, e-mail or webclip, that only works when they want it, making me lose the confidence that anything I was sending into my Capacities inbox would be really waiting for me there...
I am now in the process of moving to xTiles, and I really, really, hope this is the place for me to organize and do my daily creative work as a solopreneur. But I will keep an eye on Capacities future updates, I believe their task managements, kanban board and better calendar integration would be of great benefit for it. 2 3

– … also, as it hasn´t any direct comparison to Capacities, you @elisa moreno , might bless the community (and the wizard team) w/ a xTiles vs. Capacities review. … I am aware, the two are playing in slightly different target arenas (at least officially), but still I think there is a lot to be gained from such a comparison, esp out of the pen of such compassionate 'dual users' like yourself… !

Thanks for sharing the app name with me @lerone ) … but thing about what they are currently developing is (
'ominous hint' ): it´s all about spatial annotation and canvas logic.
– and that´s quite interesting seeing the come from the simplicity + minimalism of the linear Google-doc, and think this is the way forward…
… you / one will see in time… and it still has to show it works for them…
– but the general 'macro'-trend to embrace spatial logics, and canvas / desktop-logics in note-taking, compositional writing and PKM seems just so unmistakenly clear… 1 1

Sorry I have no idea how to link you to that, hope Discord finds a way to notify you on my other mention! But all I want to say is thank you! ❤️❤️❤️ 1 1✌️ ❤️ Yes, I found out about xTiles on the “how to ADHD” channel, that I love!
I was struggling with Capacities, and as I am not as well informed on the PKM world as you guys here are, I thought it was an original app, made for our mental condition. I fell excited at first, but just as I was starting to feel uncomfortable with how similar to Notion and Click-up it was, the lovely @lerone pointed out that this app is practically a “twin” of another app less known (at least for me), called Walling! And I went out to test it and I am loving it!
It’s an app that allows me to create and organize my ideas, without distractions! I have never been so productive! It does not have database, and they don’t even announce themselves as PKM, but it just solves my problem of losing track of my ideas and projects in a frictionless and flow way.
One worry I have, is that some companies that have regular productivity apps/products are now, all of a sudden, stating in market campaigns that their app/product was originally focused on helping us with ADHD. But, as you very well said, after testing it, I discovered xTiles is just another Click-up-style-app, that is now marketed to our community.
I hate this, it’s being a trend and we should be aware of it before giving our precious money (even more for us that live in countries that “mere” 5 dollars for an American citizen that would cost a “cup of coffee”, and for us it’s the price of our light/water/internet bill, or even more expensive when we convert and add taxes!).
Sorry about the rant, tough, but I think we should start to be aware of this, it’s getting more and more hard to separate what is real or not. 3 2 1 2 1

Some things, which are nice (– and apps that serve on this):
• top-notch capture of clean article versions; lile cutting out the slack, correctly, or treating images & captions right
– the basic thing, actually. Instapaper, OV stand out here
• clean rendering, one you actually want to read
– none ever touched Imstapaper, IMO
• custom. themes that are worth it (there is no undervaluing making things 'nice' & comfy for ones personal eye)
• searching highlights, and good highlight display – per article, as well as collective
• natural reader voices to read articles
– OVs stand-out feature no. 1
• export articles / highlights to MD
– OV stand-out feature no. 2
as to Capacities & it's particular strengths, I would add:
• auto-managed save of images (much undervalued)
• (probale:) dedicated & intelligent highlight & annotation system (this means the new 'Comprehensive annotation system', which I expect to be a semantic one; not like the current, purely graphical one)
• integration & re-usability of captured knowledge in versatile + modular PKM context; including higher rate of re-surfacability 1

I like one expert's advice: before renewing a yearly subscription, take some time to see if the tool still meets your needs and if it's worth the money for another year. 4 3 2

everything the team said on it in discussions sounded like at least matching those expectations. see also this: https://capacities.io/feedback/p/media-annotations-and-smart-media-features ="planned", where you'd find exact matching wordings, actually.
as it really is meant to include a whole new layer into the Capacities app, I think it compares in scope to other 'biggies'. so, I can just assume this is in the 'backlog' as to the speedwarped offline, and the intensity of other 'biggies' (like AI; and I'd rather like to stay silent on charging things like task & calendar integration...)
so. Ithink it's already blueprinted and scheduled in the heads & minds of the team I am sure. … and rather a question of resources than capacities 1 2 https://discord.com/channels/940596022344843336/1135449045515640843)

certainly, they decided they need to pivot + embrace from a perception / use as pure 'document' studio to the dynamic universes of pkm + productivity.
in a way, given their UI similarity w/ Capacities (both look ultra sleek!) it seems like while Capacities comes from database to develop a cool hyper document experience, Craft is coming the other way round, from slick document editor to a deep-drilled database implementation 'from above' (remember how they previously resiststed, for years, the nagging calls of the community to even touch 'tags'?! ).
I think one shouldn´t freak out too much about all the comparison games. and certainly there is a whole different kind of motor (in terms of VC logics) in Craft than in the bootstrapped Capacities. 1 ), and really reflect what kind of domain-specific mission Capacities wants to solve?!
• … and same goes for reflecting the unique architectural / DNA advantages of Capacities – and strengthening them … instead of going too much into the width of trying to be too much + a swiss-army kind of thing. as it won´t / shouldn´t compete in the grandeur game approach… given such rivals + resources
• also, it´s worth to take a look how Craft uses it´s a) experience, b) 2nd mover status to do some things very similar; but with some actual better usability, at least on the surface. just look at the end of that video, how you can get to a 'sort by category' function and a simple 'property'-kind of filter by 2 instead of 4 clicks. … this sounds like peanuts or details… but in a world of high-frequency / habitual use and a kind of UI competition that is a world (https://youtu.be/sAylA5OEePI?feature=shared&t=460); similar thing: you can kind of 'pin' different views of same collection side-to-side… something I wanted to see in Cap as well for some time… again: seems small, but is huge in UX, IMO
take note that this is not meant to sound too epic or elegic… but these are thoughts ('my 2c') triggered by just blending some discussions here, with some impressions from the Craft metamorphosis…

Bluedot - as an AI notetaker for Google Meet, it does a very good job at recording, transcribing and summarizing meetings (no integration with Capacities, just copy-pasting Bluedot link into Capacities "recording" custom field of the Meetings object type) 3 https://go.warish.co/tools 1 https://go.warish.co/tools Scrintal v1 or v2, if I can ask?

– What is your experience of their 'switch'? 
It was such a great app, even with a few bugs here and there. I'm more than happy to pay if they introduce paid plans.
What I loved most is how it brought together almost everything I need: newsletter and RSS feed subscriptions, highlighting, saving articles, PDFs, YouTube videos, etc.
Most other apps only offer some of these features. Some let me subscribe to newsletters but don't have a highlighting feature. Or, others let you save articles and highlight stuff but don't handle newsletter subscriptions. I've looked at Reader (Readwise), but it's just too pricey for me.
Right now, I'm giving Cubox (cubox.cc) a try. It's got a lot of the same features as Omnivore, plus some AI stuff (that I'm not much interested in, but it's okay tho). And it's cheaper than Reader. (I'm only on a free trial on the second day so I couldn't say much about it yet.) It was such a great app, even with a few bugs here and there.

them going down like this, really is a reminder of how deep entrenched app precarity has become...
... Arc, like Mailbox, like Omnivore, were kind of stapleware in the artisan/indie field, beyond the reach of VC-amortization craze...
as to RIL: I kind of retreated to a less exposed 'base', using DevonThink for saving MD-cleaned-up files, which are a) local; b) thus part of my local index; c) in a state where I can 100% control their rendering & style via css
(– after all, part of the Omnivore allure was the automated pipeline to include it as MD into ones local Obsidian base).
Otherwise, in term of strategical long term betting (this is what we are talking about), I put my trust on Inoreader, which is a superb mega-machine-feed-reader. and it just started to implement RIL & highlighting. not yet Insta-grade-style… but heading in the right direction... and a 'settled' player that found its niche.
… for reading pleasure I now use Unread. which plugs into ino reader + is also superb in rss fetching & clean article rendering. it doesn't have the same style timeless aesthetic as IP – but it also is 100% reliable, has a above bar chromeless minimalist-modernist style... and a superb UI, even besting Insta...
with this system / combo, I have a) reliability; b) redundancy; c) enough reading pleasure; d) inclusion in my wider local eco-system...
generally, by now, I would never go back to a reading-system that overall has its point of gravity in the cloud, and not on / within my base… 4 2 It was such a great app, even with a few bugs here and there. I'm more than happy to pay if they introduce paid plans.

in the end, I rather want to live in a world characterized by Wikipedia, Linux & Co than one characterized by Google, Facebook, X...
but, I agree. it's a field full of differences.
and personal choices, decisions & personal comitments.
and, each to his/her own is always valid.
so, good to hear different takes...

I feel like I can do this about once a month without being annoying to my followers.
2. Also, I feel like there could be another Overview Video designed for a non-user audience.
The “press kit” version, if you will.
