big +1, I went back to this video to look for the name of this extension. Sadly, I am using Firefox (for several legitimate reasons) and this Eloquent beta is only for Chrome. If someone knows a similar extension for FF, please let me know :)
I gave a look to MyMind, but it did not attract me months ago. After this video, you convinced me to give it a more serious try. I really like the tiles concept to show you everything you collected. Though, I have the sensation I can have quite similar results with Things 3. Obviously, it looks totally different, but I really love its Quick Capture feature and the advanced search method within the app. As always, it would be nice to have a single app which combines Notion, Roam, myMind, and Things 3 :D Thanks Shu for the video!
Wow video quality is much better. Audio sounds cleaner and clearer, and your cadence is greatly improved. I wasnt expecting you to work on my nitpicks that quickly love your videos!
Idea storage and idea factory. Super sticky man. Love the concept. I currently use Craft for my idea factory and storage but mymind has grabbed my attention. Currently playing around with it.
thanks for the extension :) It really reduced some friction around taking notes and highlighting stuff while browsing the internet, for me. also, the rich text-editor is the cherry on the cake.
Thank you. I am a new Roam user and getting a great deal out of it. My lingering doubt was what to do with the various quotes, book recommendations, screenshots, etc that I collect on a daily basis. I was putting many of them in Roam, but I felt like it was cluttering up my graph. And also, I did not know if new information was going to be valuable in the long term. It looks like using MyMind solves the problem. I can put ideas there first and then process and add to Roam if the ideas still seem valuable.
I've been slowly beginning to add content to mymind. Just added this video, for example. That was something I HAD been using Walling for. Looking forward to seeing he AI sorting and organizing the clips and other content.
@Anastasia Naumova I mostly wanted to see if the AI worked. Also wanted to see if the Safari extension was better at clipping things into mymind than the Walling applet that works for me only about half the time. Those problems may be due to user error, but if I can use something that just works and I don't have to figure out how to optimize it, that saves me time and energy.
Signed up for mymind after reading that they allow you to export data, when I exported the data it was in a terrible format, I was expecting nicely formatted texts and images as described in their docs but that was not the case in my experience. When I bookmark items from my phone it does not always sync up properly, auto-tagging feature does not work consistently, this app seems to be in an alpha stage and not beta, I regret paying for their annual membership.
Also a big MyMind fan and I love the way it visually captures information and I can have an idea of where my mind was really at over the past few days with just a glimpse! Noticed the dark mode- are you on the Mastermind plan now? I remember in a past video you said you had been using the student plan. I’m currently on the student plan but wondering how much better Mastermind is and if it’s work the upgrade? Thanks for a great video btw!
Do you find yourself still using this system? Have you upgraded or changed anything? I am jumping into MyMind now (thanks to your channel), so any shortcuts would be greatly appreciated.
I'm surprised to see mymind presented so positively. I'd go so far as to say it is dangerous. The AI tagging is an amazing time saving concept, but it has a critical flaw -- it is much worse than you at tagging things you care about. As an example, I added a simple image into mymind of a girl in a cool outfit for character design inspiration. If manually tagging I would add tags such as "girl", "boots", "outfit", and even some other specifics like "short hair", "pink hair", "crouching". Guess how many of those tags mymind got right? None. It added a slew of unhelpful tags and missed things like "girl". It even for some reason tagged it as "long hair" which was wrong. I cannot imagine leaving the discoverability of your ideas to the whims of an AI. Yes manually tagging takes time but the more time you put into it, the more quality output you receive.
You're absolutely right that overreliance on the AI tagging is dangerous! Especially, like you mentioned, the AI tagging for images isn't as good as I want it to be :( So, I often find myself tagging by myself when it comes to images. But in terms of other stuff like articles, I think it's pretty accurate in my experience!
@Samuel Gonzalez Making the tool useless. Something like Walling is superior if you are going to manually tag. In my experience with images (not more easily indexed sources like blogs) the automatic tags were so lacking and incorrect that they were harmful rather than helpful.
Yes. I just tried it out - and the tags on images are what would be supposed to give it the edge over other tools that can also do searchable OCR on text in PDFs and images. Like Evernote, Google Keep (and Google Drive for that matter).
great video Shu Omi! you really have that system down. I am a avid user and fan of Roam - has changed my approach to projects and now the way I learn. MyMind in new to me and seems like the ideal partner for Roam. I subscribed through the link but they are offering invite-only subscriptions - any suggestions on how I can start using MyMind? Than you!!!
Hi Shu, It looks like Mymind does not save the actual article (via their extension) but is a pointer to the article on the original site when you click on "Show Full Article". Do you know of a way to save the whole article to Mymind without having to high;right or copy/paste?
I thought about the same thing! But unfortunately I don't think there's a way to do that now unless you take a screenshot of the whole article or copy and paste :(
@@ServantStatusMinistries I also like Raindrop, but it misses an important feature - an ability to add an ad hoc comment why you are saving the bookmark, what caught your attention, how it is useful for you. A sort of free hand memo a few words only, not only a tag.
Yet another data storage system. Lets trash the previous dozen and create one more. I'd better wait for several month when you tell us about yet another revolutionary data storage system.
I just tried it out and to my BIG SURPRISE I cannot find a way to actually search on the TAGS that I enter myself. WTF? Did I miss something? I created a tag with a very unique name - and even when I just search free text for that, the note does not come up. I get it that the philosophy of this app is to not have to tag everything heavily with keywords etc.. - but if I can't add just a little bit of meaning to a select part of the items, it just becomes a big tangled up pile of junk. I mean, just about the same as any confused mind. The people who are insane, have exactly that problem. Everything is associated in all kinds of ways that get in the way instead of making sense. Unless I want to use it for just ONE niche. If this is to be used for research (articles), inspiration (such as art or interior design) and many other things - then I don't want all of it to come up in a huge mess when I search. If I search for "red" I would like to limit it to a scope. The company also advertises that people could use "todo" and "todo done" tags. I would not use it for tasks - but it shows that they somehow signal that tags can be searched and filtered more deliberately.
Just wait a little bit after you add those tags. On my side, it is working perfectly. But somehow, I have to refresh the page using cmd/ctrl + R or F5 (and sometimes wait few seconds, probably to let the backend of MyMind indexes the tags). I use personal tags quite often and it is perfectly fine :)
The real hidden gem here is Eloquent! Nice one Shu
haha! It's my favourite tool!

Yesss! Your feedback really helped a lot!! Thanks again :)
Many thanks Shu!
I personally use Notion as my Idea Storage and Obsidian as my Idea Factory. I learned that from you as well. I wish you all the best
Awesome! That is a great system too!
Idea storage and idea factory. Super sticky man. Love the concept. I currently use Craft for my idea factory and storage but mymind has grabbed my attention. Currently playing around with it.
Love your channel. I’ve copied your system and it’s been life changing. Roam literally lets me think faster.

Very helpful video. Thank you!
Thanks to this video, I just discovered mymind which I think will be very helpful for my future researches
Glad it helped! Wish you the best of luck for your future research ;)
Lovely flow. Thank you 🤩🤩🙏🙏
Thanks, Shu, for another informative video of insights and tips. I very much appreciate your presentation style. All the best!
I love it! Thanks so much for this video, Shu. Crushed it!

Great video Shu. Have you tried Bublup? If so what are your thoughts about it compared to My Mind?
No not yet! Will give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation :)
@@ShuOmi_Official what are your thoughts about the future of MyMind? Do you feel confident that they will continue to develop and enhance this app?
thank you for very useful note, I am choosing the application acting like library. Is MyMind can store pdf book - pdf with many pages? Thank you
I haven't tried it yet, but I think you can save multiple PDF pages as long as it's not like 100s pages!

About how long do you think it took for you to be adding things to mymind before it became useful?
Does anyone know if there're alternatives of Eloquent on Firefox?
From the previous similar video, my Mind beat Notion..,

MyMind in new to me and seems like the ideal partner for Roam. I subscribed through the link but they are offering invite-only subscriptions - any suggestions on how I can start using MyMind? Than you!!!
I so want to use this but lack of android app is the barrier. If I have to work at saving things to it I might just as well just save directly to roam
@V Keerthi Vikram Hey, would you happen to have an invite code you could private message me?
@V Keerthi Vikram Yeah, I know. The PWA is no better than going direct to Roam, though.
I have tried doing that. Don't recommend that because you are going to make a ton of clutter. Just use google keep. As the name suggests keep.
check out raindrop.io
Do you know if Mymind is able to search for text in pdf files or just images?
The problen with mymind is that you need to receive an invite in order to acess their website. How did you accessed it without it?
Usually it takes about 1-2 weeks until you receive an invite from mymind
Or you can DM them on Twitter for an invite -- they respond fairly quickly :)
@@ShuOmi_Official unfortunately i think they disabled DM messages. I guess i will just have to wait

@@ShuOmi_Official Thanks. That's a shame. Hope Mymind will incorporate this as a feature.
Are you still using this? Would love an update.
5:00 6:11
Mymind is currently unavailable. I think i am going to replicate this in google keeps.
I also prefer Google Keep for capturing links and quick ideas - it has an IOS widget and one can even dictate into it.
@Jami I have been using raindrop.io which is closest to this and zoho notes as a better and private alternative to google keep.
