Introduction

This plugin tries to emulate the Progressive Summarisation approacy by Tiago Forte's Building a Second Brain course.

In short, you read through the article, and bold text that speaks to you. Then you read through the bold text again and ==highlight== text that really distils the essence of what is speaking to you. I am somewhat butchering the finer details of the approach, so please consult the article below for further reading.

Usage

Copy and paste the text that you would like to distil into Logseq. As per Tiago's approach, go through the passage and bold "keywords, key phrases, and key sentences that I feel represent the core or essence of the idea being discussed." When finished, click the plugin icon and watch your bolded sentences appear in a section below the article.

Then, when you are ready to do further distiling, go through the bolded passages in Layer 1 and highlight those that are "the 'best of the best', only highlighting something if it is truly unique or valuable". This layer will then be at the very top of the page, and the actual article below for further reference.

You can then go further up the layers, and finally complete the entire Progressive Summarisation approach (see below).

Installation

If not available from the marketplace, download the release and install it manually in Logseq after unzipping it.

logseq-psummarise-plugin's Issues

Not extracting bold text from child blocks and also from long pages

Hi,

Thanks for this wonderful plugin. I am facing a couple of issues while trying to use it.

• I am trying to summarize a lecture transcript, so it has considerably large number of blocks. And I guess due to the lazy loading of page in Logseq, only the highlights for top few blocks are being extracted.

• Also, I tried to right-click a parent block and extract highlights from child blocks, and it gave the error No highlights found. It works fine if I do it for a single block.

The following are the version details:
OS: macOS Monterey (12.3.1), Apple M1 Pro
Logseq version: 0.6.8
Plugin version: 1.0.7

A bug that extracts duplicate content

version: 0.6.7
platform: win11

Is there any way to fix it?

Bold text is not fully extracted

Bold text is not fully extracted.
Logseq version: v0.7.5
Plugin version: v1.1.0

Org syntax not supported

I am trying this plugin, but seems the org syntax highlighter is not supported
markdown:

highlight with ==highlight==

In org syntax highlight is defined as:

highlight with ^^highlight^^

Would be great to add support for org syntax. Thanks!

The first time doesn't collect all highlights only the second time will collect all highlights.

[FR] Allow progressive summarisation of child blocks

As referred to in: #5 (comment)

Currently, the plugin summarises a block when you right click on it, but not its child blocks. This FR seeks to summarise the block and its child blocks.

Testing auto commenting

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Better to be able to summarise a block rather than only a page

Currently, this plugin can only help summarise content in a page (“[[，#”), which would be more flexible if it can summarise specific block (and all children blocks, all content under the parent block).
Another plugin "extract" do this by right click the block button and click "extract". Maybe "progressive summarise" plugin can try this way (currently, the "summarise" button is on the top plugin bar).

This plugin cannot extract all bold text.

This plugin cannot extract all bold text.

plugin doesn't work

The problem is that when I close logseq and open it again, the plugin icon disappears and doesn't work, only when I close and open it again in the plugin screen does the plugin icon reappear, is there any way to fix this?

version : 0.6.6
platform：windows11

Thanks for this great plugin, which is very helpful for working with raw material.

BTW,do you know about supermemo? ,which ideas is also further reading, and the special thing is that, as it finishes extracting the text, it also adds the clozs and highlighted sections to the cards , in preparation for the recitation work. It would be convenient if this plugin could do the same.

Of course, the current plugin is excellent, thanks again for the great work!
