Nyxt browser annotations beat pen and paper, believe me
Something I've always wanted to work on was a browser extension that allowed things like this to happen collaboratively. There's stuff like PeerLibrary[0] that lets you annotate things as a group, but it's limited to publications and things you upload. Nyxt seems to meet what I want but lacks the collaborative aspect I'm looking for.
There's a couple of Browser extensions that have sorta tried to accomplish this before. Epiverse[1] seems to be the most polished one so far. It originally intended to allow any user to comment on any webpage. But it found that without existing content, few found it useful. So eventually the creator just parsed to see if the webpage was posted on Reddit or Hackernews. The original purpose of it ended up being too expensive to host so it ended up just becoming a HN/Reddit parser. Which, tbh, is basically what I want to build at this point. I'd love to contribute to the project, but I don't have much time and it's closed source
The other similar extensions also just parse HN/Reddit like Newsit[2] (which is open-source) and Thredd[3] (which only parses Reddit). My only real addition to this is that I'd like to include the ability to parse more than just Reddit and HN. I wanna create a discussion aggregator. There's similar sites like Lobste.rs and Lemmy.ml that could also be parsed, but obviously that's not the full extent of where discussions happen around a webpage.
I don't think I have it figured out, and I don't know if anyone ever will, but I think there's a lot to gain if someone is able to someday harness that feeling that you get when you read something really good or find something really cool and wanna see how others responded

Here's an article that might be of interest
I often use Newsit to tell whether something has been posted.

Show HN: Privacy-preserving browser extension linking to HN discussion
Nice, so it periodically retrieves a list of HN posts and queries that list locally, so you're not telling algolia any specific site details.
There are millions of posts on HN, how many submissions does it retrieve? Surely if you find an obscure site, it might not be in the local list.
Maybe you could just always query many urls together, with only 1 of them being the real url you want. That would make it hard to track too.
Also I made a similar extension, but it queries sources on every page load.

Ask HN: Is anyone still using Gulp?
Yeah that's true, I mean I use gulp for browser extension builds, as there's a few random tasks (img compression, copying files, babel) that need to be done in order to build cross platform. Would be a pain in webpack.
My example: https://github.com/benwinding/newsit/blob/master/gulpfile.js

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.

Promnesia & theconversation.social were on similar themes/solutions.

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 Iām 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.
