ArchiveBox: Open-source self-hosted web archiving
For anyone who uses Chrome and wants to view their archived pages in the browser as if they were still online (URL and everything intact), and also full-text search through their browsing history that was archived (like AB plans to add in future, I think, right nikki?) you can check out DownloadNet: https://github.com/dosyago/DownloadNet
You can have multiple archives, and even use a mode where you only archive pages you bookmark rather than everything.

Show HN: Rem: Remember Everything (open source)
This does look cool. It reminds me of a recent discovery I made. The other day, while trying to recover some disk space, I found a giant file on my hard disk. It turned out to be a nine-hour screen recording from almost a year ago. I had no idea it existed, so I must’ve accidentally left the screen recording on. Watching it was fascinating; it was like a window into my thought process at that time. You could see how I was researching something online. It was almost like a play-by-play, akin to re-watching a sports performance – very instructive and surprisingly useful.
In a similar vein to what you’ve done, but focusing specifically on web browsing, I’ve created a tool called ‘DownloadNet.’ It archives for offline use and fully indexes every page you visit. Additionally, it can be configured to archive only the pages you bookmark, offering another mode of operation. It’s an open-source tool, so feel free to check it out: https://github.com/dosyago/DownloadNet

You're Gonna Need a Bigger Browser
Given that I directly work in this space I found the article's synthesis of a range of ideas about browser innovation to be highly relevant.
More generally, the article is actually extremely interesting and examines a bunch of ideas worthy of consideration if you're interested in the future of web browsing.
Perhaps none of the ideas are new in isolation, but it's encouraging that people are doing this foundational conceptual work and imagining where a synthesis of them would go.
Despite being interesting somehow on the page it was not so easy to read. Here's a summary of key ideas:
Stagnation in Browser Evolution: Berjon notes that despite being central to the web's architecture, browsers haven't changed much in their fundamental design for a long time. They have undergone incremental changes but the core concept remains largely the same as it was decades ago.
Reimagining Browsers: He suggests that to increase user agency—a principle that the web should empower users—we need to consider major overhauls to what a browser is and how it operates.
Integration of Search and Social: Berjon challenges the traditional separation of browsers, search engines, and social platforms. He advocates for an integrated approach where the browser encompasses these functions, aligning more closely with users' experiences and expectations.
Shift From Client to Agent: The author proposes rethinking the browser not just as a client for retrieving documents but as an "agent" that provides a variety of services, potentially including server-like functions, to empower users.
User Agency and Personal Data Servers: By incorporating elements such as Personal Data Servers (PDS), users could manage their own data and services like recommendations, identity, and subscriptions, which currently rely on third-party providers.
Tab Management: Berjon critiques the use of tabs, suggesting that they are an ineffective method for organizing and interacting with web content, and advocates for better UI solutions.
Business Models: He delves into the financial aspects of browsers, highlighting the significant profits derived from setting search engine defaults. Berjon argues for reinvestment of these profits into the web as a public good and for developing business models that truly benefit user agency.
Potential for Change: Despite the challenges, Berjon is optimistic about the possibility of change, noting that there is room for product differentiation and that financial incentives can drive innovation in the browser space.
I found the one about User Agency and Personal Data Servers particularly fascinating. I've been exploring the idea of a federated search engine, where a person curates their own search through their browsing history (and ultimately could share it socially), in DownloadNet: https://github.com/dosyago/DownloadNet
And my company has been developing a platform for building extended and customized browsing experiences and delivering them anywhere. It's my hope that BrowserBox will play a part in the future direction of the browser as user agent. It's open source so if you care about the future of the web, get involved: https://github.com/BrowserBox/BrowserBox :)

Google Chrome pushes browser history-based ad targeting
If you're interested in utilizing your history information for something in your intentional interests, consider saving an archive of pages you browse to make a search engine you can query back through later.
You can save the full content for indexing with full text search, and you can even export archives as tarballs by zipping up the directory. Many people find this a useful way to "mine" their own browser history to create a curated search engine aligned with your interests. Or simply to save the pages they browse for review offline--either to save bandwidth, or just because they're actually "offline"--at a remote site, or on an airplane.
Everything is saved in a fully interactive way. Personally tho, I find search the most useful feature. Also, we're open source so if you want to get involved, please do so!

Wayback: Self-hosted archiving service integrated with Internet Archive
For archiving, look into https://github.com/dosyago/DiskerNet
It's real next gen thinking on this topic.
As for the featured tool wayback... If HN readers can't figure out what it does after reading docs, its likely the thinking behind it is equally unclear.

Someone posted this to HN a few days ago

It looks very appealing, but I haven’t had a chance to try it myself just yet.

Show HN: Linkwarden – An open source collaborative bookmark manager
Linkwarden is a fully self-hostable, open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and archive webpages.
Linkwarden was built using TypeScript and NextJS, backed by a PostgreSQL database for the lighter-weight data. The rest of the data can be chosen either to be stored on the filesystem, or stored on the cloud on Digital Ocean Space/AWS S3, the reason for the cloud storage solution was for the Cloud offering [1], we realized that the preserved webpages (archives) take up space pretty quickly and S3 was much more efficient for this task. On the front-end we used TailwindCSS for styling and Zustand for state management.
You could either use our Cloud offering (with 14-day free trial) to directly support this project and experience Linkwarden, or you could self-host it on your own machine and have maximum flexibility.
Also please make sure to visit/star our GitHub repo [2].
Feel free if you had any questions, we'll do our best to answer it.
