Comment on How do you capture things quickly across devices in a self-hosted setup?
oldany@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoThat’s a really good way to frame it.
I kept coming back to the idea that the “act” shouldn’t be something new you have to learn — it should reuse what you’re already doing in each context.
So instead of one single physical gesture, it’s more like a single intent expressed through different native actions:
- on mobile → share
- on desktop → paste
- in browser → bookmarklet
- sometimes even just typing something and sending it
The key (for me) wasn’t forcing one gesture, but making all of those feel like the same action underneath.
So the mental model becomes: “this goes into my inbox”, regardless of how I triggered it.
That’s where things started to click for me.
