promnesia VS ArchiveBox

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.

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.

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.

Promnesia works like that: https://github.com/karlicoss/promnesia/

Two projects I greatly appreciate, allowing me to easily archive my bandcamp and GOG purchases (after the initial setup anyways):

https://github.com/easlice/bandcamp-downloader

https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc

And I recently learned about archivebox, which I think is going to be a fast favorite and finally let me clear out my mess of tabs/bookmarks: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox

If you really want to save the content for yourself, use something like https://archivebox.io/

I've been running a local instance for a few years now and download/save tech articles all time. I can search and find them as needed.

API is coming soon (relatively, it's still a one-man project)! Stay tuned https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/496

I have an event-sourcing refactor in progress now to allow us to pluginize functionality like the API (similar to Home Assistant with a plugin app sotre), it will take a month or two. Next up is the REST API using the new plugin system.

I guess your best chance is to use something like https://archivebox.io/.

Yeah this is a cool project but it was discussed 2 days ago.

As mentioned by the maintainer there, they even maintain a list of alternatives, very classy:
