Show HN: Turn photos into text notes that sync to your Notion or Obsidian

Photes.io is a note-taking app that uses vision models to turn images into well-structured text notes. I built this tool because I often take photos of slides at meetups or conferences, but they just stay in my phone, unused for review or search.

I started with a prototype using GPT-4 Vision to take notes in real-time and sync them to my Obsidian (story: https://x.com/ob12er/status/1797631061842944102).

Now, I'm improving it to connect with more note tools like Notion and Google Docs.

Looking for feedback and thoughts!

    As an Obsidian user, this solves a problem I have been having with my input workflow. Ideally, I would want this to synchronize via Readwise, to have one provider for third-party information. Is it something in your roadmap?
