What Are Collections?
Collections are named groups that let you organize related memories together. Where tags describe what a memory is about, collections describe where it belongs. A memory about a React hook might be tagged "React" and "Hooks", but it could live in your "Frontend Projects" collection.
Why Collections Are Useful
- Group memories by project, course, or goal
- Keep interview prep notes separate from work project notes
- Create a focused view of a specific area of your knowledge
- Share a collection with collaborators (planned feature)
Creating a Collection
- Open the Memory Capsule dashboard.
- Click Collections in the left sidebar.
- Click New Collection.
- Give the collection a name and an optional description.
- Click Create.
Moving Memories to a Collection
You can assign a memory to a collection at save time via the capture panel, or afterwards from the memory detail view in the dashboard. A memory can belong to one collection at a time.
Example Collections
Some common ways people organize their Memory Capsule knowledge base:
| Collection Name | What goes in it |
|---|---|
| DSA | Algorithm explanations, problem patterns, time complexity notes |
| React | Component patterns, hooks, state management, performance tips |
| Interview Prep | Technical questions, system design notes, behavioral frameworks |
| System Design | Architecture patterns, scalability discussions, trade-off notes |
| Projects | Notes specific to active or past projects |
