The Missing Piece in PKM: Resurfacing Forgotten Knowledge

The author uses several PKM apps like Obsidian and Things to manage vast amounts of digital information, but finds a crucial feature missing: helping users re-engage with captured but forgotten information. Even simple database queries could achieve this, such as showing tasks older than six months. The author calls on PKM app developers to add such features, perhaps inspired by Spotify's home screen, to resurface old notes, tasks, etc., preventing information from becoming a "knowledge black hole."
