RSS-Link-Database VS kindle_clippings_webapp

On the other hand it is not 1995. Time has moved on. I wrote a Simple RSS feed, that also serves as search engine for bookmarks.

I am able to run it in attick on raspberry pi. We do not have to rely so heavily on google.

It is true that it does not serve me as google, or kagi replacement. It is a very nice addition though.

With a little bit off determination I do not have to be so dependent on google.

Here is also a dump of known domains. Some are personal.

...and my bookmarks

Some more years, and google can go to hell.

These are exported then to github repositories:

[5] https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database - bookmarks

[6] https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database-2023 - 2023 year news headlines

[7] https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database - all known to me domains, and RSS feeds

My own repositories:

- bookmarked entries https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database

- mostly domains https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database

- all 'news' from 2023 https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database-2023

I am using my own Django program to capture and manage links https://github.com/rumca-js/Django-link-archive.

That is why I wrote [1] for myself. It stores links in database, which I can query. Everything is later on exported, like in [2] and [3]. I can browse history, I can find useful data. I do not say it has replaced google for me. It is a nice addition that helped me gather data I encounter on the Internet.

It is a link database, at first glance resembles Reddit clone, but my focus is on creating link database, not on providing social media experience cancer.

Links:

[2] https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database

[3] https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database-2023

- https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database-2022 - all captured links in 2022

- I think newsboat reader does not provide advanced search mechanism

There is also a repo in which I store entries which I find interesting, useful: https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database

This is the approach I use in most of my hobby projects. It's simpler, and faster and there are no loading screens.

In my kindle-clippings-manager (https://github.com/karlosos/kindle_clippings_webapp) I import highlights from Kindle and store them in localStorage. The major drawback is a size limitation (10MB). This should not be a problem in most cases but if you need to store more data then indexedDB (Web Storage) can solve the issue.

Linear (https://linear.app/) uses its sync engine to store the data in Web Storage. With optimistic updates, it feels like an offline app. You can read more about the sync engine here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36519448
