Should I Invest in Fibery? (individual PKM use case)

[YvetteLans]

As mentioned by Michael in this topic:

We think that people will still use PKM, they are more convenient and private. It’s hard to imagine that suddenly you will move into Fibery and keep all private notes there as well. But we think that some parts of the PKM graph can be synced into Fibery and added to a TKM system.

Here is the flow:

1. you accumulated 50 notes about chats and comments systems and now you can sync them to Fibery and link to a specific Product Area.
2. You mark these notes somehow (tag or something else) and they get synced to Fibery.
3. Notes are immutable from Fibery perspective, you can only augment them (react, comment, link to various entities, transclude into several places).
4. Notes still live in your personal PKM and when you update something in PKM they will be updated in Fibery as well.
5. Imagine you have 5 product managers in a company, now they have a tool to share selected parts of their personal knowledge to the team and cross-link this knowledge together.

So you research something, share to the common pool (Fibery) when ready and use Fibery tools to link this to the company context.

That would be great

Although there is another great solution in my opinion. I think it should be sufficient if ‘My space’ is completely private, even for admins. Like ClickUp also has private workspaces. Then My space can be a PKM.

Readwise has a pretty simple API | Readwise . You can pull information from it and get it into fibery with integration.

Yes, for my own situation that’s not a problem. But for my clients I’m foreseeing some problems:

• The Readwise API currently don’t support a filter based on tags
• Therefor all highlights will be imported in Fibery

Sometimes that’s what you want. For example: a stand-alone highlight from an article etc. But if you’re reading a book, the separate highlights can create overwhelm. Most of the time you want to summarize/rewrite them before you put them in Fibery.

(We only did a quick test; as far as I could see every seperate highlight is a new record in the database)

So what I ideally want is to help my clients to prevent an information overload. So for example ‘only if a highlight has a tag Fibery then import the highlight in Fibery’.

Via N8N that’s not working properly. Problem is that the updated_at key doesn’t change when you add a tag (only when you edit a highlight). And fetch + filter all data for all of our clients via N8N will take too much server resources.

That’s why a native integration would be best. And hopefully it could work like the Google calendar: “select (tags) what you want to import”

TLDR: we did a quick test, but so far the result is not ideal. @tpaktop have you already build a good integration?
