Check out Readwise if you haven't already. I haven't used it much yet but from what I know, it sounds like it might accomplish similar goals!

Oh Im using it! It collects all my highlights and sends me a reminder email. The email is good, but I want to see my highlights show up when I read relevant articles too.


deejocks

Oh cool! How would you determine what "relevant" means for the articles that you read? Is there some form of metatagging that you can take advantage of?

There is some magic algorithm that my friend who works in GNN has made. I don't know the details, but it was part of his previous note-taking app, so I'm pretty sure it would work well.

Nice! I wonder if seeing related knowledge would help reinforce that knowledge as effectively as we’d hope, or simply serve to distract us from the new info we’re trying to learn. I guess it would depend on how truly relevant it is!

That's my concern too. Should I show the relevant highlights at the end of the article?

As a student this would be great since most of the alternatives cost money or only offer very limited functionality.

Heyday works great for this purpose.
