I've been building something called Recall — a Chrome extension where you take notes on anything you're reading, and it automatically generates flashcards from them. Then, while you're actively browsing, it surfaces those cards back to you at the right time using the SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm ( if performed poorly then high frequency else low freq )

The problem I'm solving: I take notes constantly but never go back to review them. Anki is great but requires manual card creation. Recall bridges the gap — you just take notes like normal, and the reviewing happens passively in the background.

How it works:

1. You take notes on an article, doc, or anything you're reading

2. AI generates MCQs and fill-in-the-blank cards from your notes

3. A small widget quizzes you while you're actively browsing — no separate app to open

4. A dashboard tracks your retention curve and upcoming reviews

Still very early — no public release yet. Genuinely unsure about a few things:

- Does the "quiz while browsing" idea sound useful or intrusive to you?

- Would you pay for this? What would make it a must-have vs a nice-to-have?

- Any similar tools you've tried that I should know about?

Would love honest takes, especially from folks who've tried building or selling productivity tools.
