A note should answer a different one: why was the page worth keeping?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I used to treat the two as interchangeable. Useful articles disappeared into folders with careful names, but returning months later still required reading them from the beginning. The location had survived; the reason had not.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="add-one-sentence-at-capture-time"&gt;
 Add one sentence at capture time
 &lt;a class="heading-link" href="#add-one-sentence-at-capture-time"&gt;
 &lt;i class="fa-solid fa-link" aria-hidden="true" title="Link to heading"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
 &lt;span class="sr-only"&gt;Link to heading&lt;/span&gt;
 &lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The smallest useful improvement is to write a sentence beside every important bookmark. It does not need to summarize the source. It only needs to record the connection that made the source relevant at that moment.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
