Polar as a Personal Knowledge Repository
AFAICT, this is for PDF files on your computer and websites converted to PDF. There&#x27;s no option to add, say, markdown files or locally stored email files.<p>Don&#x27;t get me wrong, I&#x27;ve tried it out and it&#x27;s awesome. I&#x27;m just not seeing how it&#x27;s going to take off as a knowledge repository with its limitations. The last thing I want is <i>yet another</i> place I have to look for my files, and I sure don&#x27;t want to have to keep things in sync with a repo that holds the rest of my files.<p>I&#x27;m also concerned with the ability of this thing to scale. There doesn&#x27;t appear to be any system for grouping items other than tagging. Maybe tagging works for others, but it&#x27;s not something I trust (if I have hundreds of items and missed a tag, the item is lost).<p>Definitely don&#x27;t want this to be a negative comment. It&#x27;s more &quot;you&#x27;re 95% of the way to an outstanding product, but I think the last 5% might be an obstacle to adoption.&quot;
