I watch a lot of tutorials and lectures on YouTube and realized I was retaining almost none of it. Watching feels like studying but it isn't — you nod along, close the tab, and it's gone.

So I built ClipMark. While you watch, you jot a quick note at any moment and it saves the timestamp. The twist: it turns your notes into active-recall quizzes and schedules them with spaced repetition, so the extension asks you the question later instead of just storing a bookmark. Your note is the question; the clip is the answer. You can also export everything to Anki.

Two things I cared about: the AI runs on your device (nothing about what you watch gets shipped to a server), and the core is genuinely free — I didn't want to paywall the actual studying.

It's early and I'd really value honest feedback, especially where it feels clunky. Link: [Chrome Web Store link]

To the Community,

My wife and I have recently embarked on a journey to enhance our health and well-being, and we would greatly value the insights and recommendations from this esteemed community.

**Regarding Ourselves:**

**Me:**

* **Age:** 27

* **Height:** 5'10"

* **Weight:** 83 kg

* **Objective:** To reduce body fat while simultaneously increasing muscle mass.

* **Current Physique:** I possess well-developed lower body strength due to extensive cycling; however, my upper body exhibits a "skinny-fat" composition, characterized by a noticeable abdominal area.

**My Wife:**

* **Age:** 29

* **Height:** 5'4"

* **Weight:** Approximately 77 kg

* **Background:** She experienced a weight gain of approximately 25 kg during her pregnancy (from 55 kg to 80 kg) and currently weighs around 77 kg.

* **Current Status:** She is presently breastfeeding our 8-month-old daughter, who has recently commenced solid food consumption.

* **Objective:** To achieve gradual weight loss while maintaining optimal health and ensuring a consistent milk supply.

**Our Lifestyle:**

As working parents with an 8-month-old infant, our primary constraint is time availability.

I am currently not engaged in a structured exercise regimen, but I intend to initiate home-based cardiovascular training and progressively establish a home gym, as opposed to joining a commercial facility.

My wife maintains a high level of physical activity throughout the day due to her caregiving responsibilities for our daughter.

**Our Current Dietary Practices:**

**Breakfast (Daily):**

* Rolled oats steeped in milk

* Unsweetened cocoa powder

* Monk fruit sweetener

**Lunch & Dinner:**

We have implemented a guideline that approximately half of each meal should consist of a salad. Our salads typically comprise:

* Cucumber

* Tomato

* Onion

* Capsicum

* Carrot

* Cabbage

* Lemon juice

* Salt & pepper

Occasionally, we incorporate:

* Corn

* Peas

* Avocado

Our protein sources are rotated among:

* Egg bhurji

* Paneer bhurji

* Moong dal

* Black dal

* Rajma

* Chole

Carbohydrate components usually include:

* Rice or roti

I have appended photographs illustrating some of our recent meals from this week.

**Snacks:**

We have largely discontinued snacking.

Furthermore, we have ceased our customary evening chai consumption.

We are endeavoring to minimize unnecessary sugar intake, while simultaneously ensuring that our dietary approach remains sustainable and not overly restrictive.

**Our Inquiries:**

1. Is our current protein intake sufficient?

2. Does this dietary plan provide adequate caloric intake for a breastfeeding mother, or should my wife consider increasing her caloric consumption?

3. Could you recommend simple and cost-effective protein sources? We can readily incorporate eggs and chicken, but we require meal options that are quick and easy to prepare, given our limited free time with an infant.

4. Are there any other improvements or suggestions you would propose?

We intend to meticulously document our progress from the outset, and therefore, we would greatly appreciate candid feedback before we proceed with this dietary framework.

Thank you in advance for your valuable contributions.
