ArticleTracker
AI-powered article saving, scoring, and reading queue
About the Project
ArticleTracker starts from a simple but persistent problem: most articles saved to a read-later list never get opened again.
Core idea
I want to split the act of saving into two stages. First, capture content with almost no friction. Then let AI evaluate whether the piece is actually worth reading now, based on the user's background, the information density, and the likely payoff.
Intended workflow
- Save an article from the browser with one click
- Extract the content and generate an assessment
- Rank the queue by score and relevance
- Record notes and summaries after the user actually reads it
- Sync the final result back into a long-term knowledge base
Why it matters
For me, the bottleneck is rarely access to information. It is deciding what deserves real attention. ArticleTracker is an attempt to turn that decision into a structured workflow.
Current focus
The project is currently centered on extraction reliability, user preference learning, and state consistency between the extension and the knowledge base.
Key Features
- Save articles into a reading queue with one click
- Score article value based on the reader context
- Track Unread / Reading / Archived states
- Sync summaries, notes, and source links back to a knowledge base
Challenges & Solutions
- Reliable content extraction from modern web pages
- Learning user preference from real feedback
- Keeping extension state and knowledge-base state aligned
- Balancing utility with low-friction UX
