Back to the exampleFor indie hackers with buried notes
Resurfa connects to Notion or Obsidian and emails you a few forgotten ideas, links and maybe-tasks each week. One tap each: do now, schedule or delete.
14-day free trial. Read-only access to your notes.
Every link and idea felt worth saving at the time. Then it sank somewhere you never look again.
You email yourself a tool to try. A week later it's under 200 newer emails, and you never test it.
Eight months into the project, your Notion is layers of half-thoughts nobody will ever dig through.
The scratch section on your tracker page has been collecting possible tasks for a year. Later never comes.
The backlog is too big to face in one sitting, so you skip the review, and the pile gets bigger.
Keep capturing the way you do now. Resurfa handles the part you keep skipping.
Grant read-only access to the pages or vault folders where your ideas, links and maybe-tasks pile up.
Once a week, an email brings back a handful of buried items, never the whole backlog.
Hit do now, schedule or delete on each item. Scheduled items come back when you said they would.
Each digest holds a few items, so reviewing takes minutes instead of an afternoon you'll never find.
Do now, schedule or delete. No item can just sit there, so nothing quietly rots for another year.
Deleted and finished items stay out of rotation, so your backlog gets smaller instead of growing.
Not ready for that side project? Schedule it and Resurfa brings it back in a later digest.
The digest is a plain email with one-tap buttons. No new dashboard to remember to open.
Access is read-only. Resurfa stores only titles and links, never the full content of your notes.
You keep a list of frameworks, SaaS tools and libraries to try, and you've tried almost none of them.
Your ideas live in a Notion page or Obsidian note you haven't opened since you wrote them.
You capture fine. What's missing is something that makes you look back and decide.
Probably not for: People who already do a weekly review and stick to it; Anyone whose notes live outside Notion or Obsidian (email support comes later).
Capturing was never the problem. Getting back to what you captured is.

Access is read-only, so Resurfa can never edit or delete anything in Notion or Obsidian. It stores only titles and links to your items, never the full content of your notes.
Notion and Obsidian. Pulling in links you've emailed to yourself is planned for later, but it isn't available yet.
Readwise resurfaces highlights and quotes from things you've read. Resurfa resurfaces things to act on, like 'try this tool' or 'maybe build this', and asks you to decide on each one.
Forcing half-formed ideas into dated tasks creates a wall of overdue guilt. Resurfa lets ideas stay loose in your notes until they come back, then you decide if they become real tasks.
Nothing breaks. Undecided items go back into rotation and show up again in a future digest, still in small batches.
Connect Notion or Obsidian, choose which pages or folders to include, and you're done. Your first digest arrives in your inbox the following week.
Your notes app is free, but the ideas in it aren't being used. If one digest gets you to finally ship, test or delete something you've carried for months, it's paid for itself. The 14-day trial lets you check.
Get a few buried notes back each week and decide on every one. Your backlog finally gets smaller.
