Ask HN: How do you store the knowledge gained in a day?

Each day I (and I assume most knowledge workers, devs, creatives) read many articles, papers, code snippets, AI responses, discord messages etc.

At the end of the day some of this information is most likely lodged in your brain and the digital version can be discarded. However some of it should be retained manually in some system - or at least I feel it should.

What approaches do people use to consolidate and store this information to allow all tabs etc to be closed for the next work day?

I rely almost fully on Readwise for this. I read, I highlight and I just know that all of the things that were important to me will be there forever.

For extra security I export everything to Obsidian. I also use obsidian to keep a daily log of the things I did and thought.

One last tool, for extra piece of mind if Raindrop. Anything cool I encountered on the web, I just save to Raindrop via quick save.

That's it. All these things fit in very naturally in my flow and don't create unnecessary work for me.
