The project evolved from a basic watch app to a full ecosystem including an AutoHotKey overlay with Pomodoro timer, Claude-powered notes-to-flashcards conversion, knowledge graph bridging between cards, and a ChatGPT Actions integration for voice-based card review while driving. Memory constraints on the watch required paginated syncing. The backend now runs 24/7 on a free Oracle Cloud VM. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
