No direct experience but I saved some links about this:

Interesting thread(s) on HN about the last one:

I've been working on a self-hosted personal search app (https://github.com/spyglass-search/spyglass) and have recently been playing around with how to integrate it with local LLMs. I think this would be an awesome step into having your own personal assistant that can search through all your data and give you analysis / summaries.

We have an open-source desktop app (https://github.com/spyglass-search/spyglass) and are working on a web version that has more powerful features such as conversation search, check it out!

I'm one of the devs for Spyglass ([https://github.com/spyglass-search/spyglass](https://github.com/spyglass-search/spyglass)) an open-source personal search app. We're excited about all the advancements with language models recently and wanted to try merging the two ideas together to form something even better.

Another more recently available option is spyglass; it is more tenable than YaCy but dev is mostly on MacOS with focus on a desktop interface. I like the idea of web based interface.

I'm part of small team that's been building an open-source personal search engine (https://github.com/spyglass-search/spyglass). One of the major use cases is searching your local files & their contents which aligns perfectly with how Obsidian stores it notes.

I'm one of the developers of Spyglass (https://github.com/spyglass-search/spyglass), an open-source self-hosted personal search engine. We recently added the ability to search through your Reddit saved & upvoted posts!

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/
