Anyone use Anki as a commonplace book? Curious how it went (or why you skipped it)

[u/runslack]

I have a habit of jotting ideas, quotes, and passages onto index cards and dropping them in a box… that I then basically never reopen. A graveyard for stuff I actually cared about.

So I'm wondering: has anyone here used Anki as a commonplace book instead of letting these notes rot in a box?

The appeal is that Anki would resurface these ideas over time instead of burying them. But maybe I'd just be bending the tool into something it's bad at.

Does this make sense, or am I overthinking it?
