First Personal Search Engine Prototype
If this is interesting to you, you should check out the interesting work that karlicoss and others have done with "Human Programming Interface" [0] / [1].
I've been kicking this idea around for quite a few years and have gone through multiple iterations before finding HPI and tossing out all my work in favor of building off theirs.
HPI is a great platform to build your own stuff off and benefit from all the work that has already been done because imo building a good foundation is the hardest part. Sean Breckenridge's HPI-API is super interesting and useful, could likely be worked into this search engine concept, quite sure Sean actually has both newsboat and Firefox modules already made.
I wrote modules of my own and made an authentication wrapped HPI-API and a GraphQL instance but currently in the middle of an infra move so nothing super cool to show off.
Lots of interesting stuff in collecting and leveraging your data. If any of this stuff catches your eye, I highly encourage browsing karlicoss' exobrain [2] because there are some interesting things in there.

I put my whole life into a single database
My version of this: Human Programming Interface https://github.com/karlicoss/HPI
It's a bit heavier on the automatic data aggregation side, but has some manual inputs as data sources too.

Gains I'm Seeing from My Second Brain Tool
This is my approach!
I'm using HPI [0] as a sort of universal API for almost all of my data (manual notes, bookmarks, instant messages, internet comments, etc)
Then I use it in tools like Orger [1] and Promnesia [2] which function as my second brain

Electric Tables – an experiment in personal databases
I suppose HPI[0] kind of is that? ;)
A community repository would be super nice for those. Something along the lines of DefinitelyTyped[1], all managed through git, easily integrates with other stuff (like shown on npmjs.org when the @types package exists), allows maintainers to "own" the adapters they contribute. It's really the N adapters * T time per adapter that really makes it hard for one person to do. That plus monitoring API changes/flakiness of each adapter to make sure the data is still solid.

Ask HN: Who Wants to Collaborate?
I'm working on tools/projects to unify, access, interact and use my personal data for quantified self, knowledge management, etc.
A couple of examples:
- https://github.com/karlicoss/HPI#readme
- https://github.com/karlicoss/promnesia#readme
Would very much love to discuss it with other people, collaborate etc.

Questions about Emacs
Emacs is born as a human-computer interface, not specifically a PIM/PKM systems (Personal Information Management systems, Personal Knowledge Management systems), those are born at Xerox Parc and they never really took off, unfortunately. You can find a small intro like https://doi.org/10.1145/1480506.1480524 you can find many research articles and thesis on the ACM and other places, try https://karl-voit.at/tagstore/downloads/Voit2011.pdf by /u/publicvoit today in Emacs the most popular of such systems in org-roam, a wrapper/accessing tool for org-mode, witch is probably one of the most powerful, Memacs is another classic one that do something more and something less, Dimitri Gerasimov have it's own public HPI https://beepb00p.xyz/hpi.html with Grasp and Promnesia extensions for Emacs and probably many others do exists but they are used/developed by a small community and while in the "old" wiki book before, "personal note/evernote boom", now "zettelkasten boom" interest keep being there documentation especially at newcomer level is nearly zero... There are research papers, few whole books, tons of articles, but nothing like a complete and simple learning path...

Need opinions regarding developing a browser extension(firefox) for taking notes from a webpage
Their author have developed a more complex script collection (HPI, https://beepb00p.xyz/hpi.html) witch is a bit confuse, but seems alive and for certain aspects do extra things then memacs (https://github.com/novoid/Memacs).

One Hundred Ideas for Computing
Some of my favourites:
- "5. Life engine" and "92. Personal Data API"
I'm working on this in "Human Programming Interface" :) https://github.com/karlicoss/HPI#readme It's far from solving these in general, but it works for me very well.

Mozilla "MemoryCache" Local AI
In term of automatically saving everything, There is heyday.xyz, polished but quite expensive. Or https://github.com/karlicoss/promnesia, a more experimental take.

Ask HN: How do you save and browse external interesting URLs?
1. you often don't know what resources you will really "value" in the future, so no more to save or not to save, this is the question
2. tagging, to be effective, require discipline (thinking about then sticking to an agile system). So, we just replace it with search, preferably NLP/AI (so you don't have to remember the exact keywords)
Apps do exist, from the expansive [1] to the experimental [2].
Personally I invested time in my filling system, and over-saving does not cause me much angst, so I’m OK with it. I also use maintenance as an occasion for renewed discovery.

Making Twitter likes backup tool as side quest of browser/second brain
I want to build a browser that captures everything I saw on the internet, allows me to search it, run graph algorithms (like PageRank). Improves navigation (by showing trails as tree instead of tabs). Heavily offline focused (Backend only for updates, maybe for analytics).
Difference with rewind.ai: linkkraft does not have funding, i'm solo, no apps & image/video/audio recognition. Focus on web, trails, research and using web copies, selections/highlights as part of your notes & whiteboards. Preserving all possible graphs.
My inspirations: https://pages.gseis.ucla.edu/faculty/bates/berrypicking.html, https://beepb00p.xyz/promnesia.html, Jeff Raskin (Global Search, Zoom UI) https://linkkraft.com/notes/backstory
I've built a prototype with trails tree & HTML snapshoting. For each my step even inside SPA linkkraft creates HTML snapshot.
