This is great. I've been collecting 'things' I learned and links to pages, like a reading list etc. but none of that sticks out long term because the resources might move, the data might not be searchable or the thing you wanted to get out of a larger article is actually much smaller than the 20 pages it came with. And then when you collect links and a reading list you end up not really going back to it anyway.

This approach makes it much easier to just add the thing you actually wanted to learn and learned in a small concise way with a reference back to where you found it. So simple, yet as so many others I hadn't thought of it.

Why would you need to create notes and go back to it though? Isn't searching for it much faster? Say you learned a nifty hotkey to backup text using a shortcut on OSX (or whatever). Why not simply search "hotkey backup osx"? And say that page you found it on shows up, but like you said, it's very long text page. Then just just bring up the search-in-page feature in your browser, and you're there!

Because sometimes you find an article on hacker news that you didn't search for but did stumble upon. Then you can't search for it because you weren't searching for it in the first place.

You are absolutely right, I wrote a app for myself to note down links and texts and some webpages as design would look good. After a while everything would have changed.
