A knowledge base sounds like a second job. Notes apps, backlinks, daily reviews. Most people who “should build a second brain” already have the raw material: posts they saved because something in them was useful. The missing step is turning that save into a sentence they can find.
This is that step, without a new system to maintain.
What belongs in it
Not everything you like. A knowledge base of social posts works when the item has a future use:
- A method you might follow (a recipe, a workout, a setup).
- A reference you might cite (a number, a name, a paper mentioned in a thread).
- An idea you might write about later.
- A page you will need when you are at a desk, not in the app.
Entertainment can stay in the app’s own likes. The knowledge base is for things you would be annoyed to lose.
The shape of a useful save
Each item needs four pieces, and only four:
- Source. The public link, so you can check it.
- What it says. The caption, the thread, or a transcript where one exists.
- What it means. One plain explanation, plus the ideas or to-dos hiding in it.
- How you’ll find it. Tags, and search over the words above.
That is a knowledge base. It is not a graph. You do not have to connect every note to every other note before the collection is useful. Search across a few hundred explained saves already beats a folder of bare links.
Capture from the place you already are
There are two doors, and you only need one in the moment:
- Someone sends you a post in Telegram, or you see one there. Forward the link.
- You are in Chrome on a post, a video, or an article. Save it in one click.
Yuri is built for those two doors. Instagram, TikTok, X, Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, and ordinary articles. On Basic and Pro it writes the explanation and the tags. On Pro you can ask the library a question later, about things you already saved, not about the whole internet. Starter keeps the link and skips the writing.
Yuri only processes the specific links you send or save. It does not read your other Telegram conversations, contacts, or attachments.
Use it, don’t curate it
Open it when you need the thing, not every Sunday. Search “invoice” or “shoulder” or “launch email”. If Basic or Pro gave you a draft, treat it as a start for a LinkedIn, X, YouTube, or TikTok post and rewrite it in your voice.
The published plans are in pricing. The button for the browser door is the Chrome extension. A closer look at one-click page saving is here.
