Why I built it
Saving useful posts had turned into passive accumulation. I wanted a system that would help me revisit ideas while they were still relevant to the things I was building and thinking about.
How it works
- A Playwright scraper saves bookmarks into SQLite.
- An enrichment step adds deterministic metadata and optional LLM intent classification.
- A weekly digest groups the useful items into a briefing, clustered sections, a chronological appendix, and a reflection prompt.
- A small orchestration wrapper makes the pipeline repeatable enough to schedule.
Different model stages are chosen for different jobs: inexpensive classification for volume, stronger synthesis for the weekly brief, and a smaller creative step for the reflection question.
Reliability details
- SQLite stores the original bookmark alongside enrichment status, fallbacks, and digest history.
- A file lock prevents overlapping scheduled runs from racing each other.
- Digest history makes it possible to resurface older posts without repeatedly recycling the same items.
- Media previews are restricted to expected X image hosts.
- A dry-run mode renders the digest locally before sending it.
What matters to me
This is less about scraping than building a better information diet. The pipeline is useful when it turns a saved link into an action, a connection, or a question worth following.
