Like https://github.com/mholt/timeliner - pull in your data and save it forever. :) https://github.com/dhamaniasad/crestify is good for bookmarks

I really want this for bookmarks where it can save a copy of the bookmarked page at the time that I saved it. The web is not permanent. :)

One day Twitter will add the ability to search my bookmarks and I will be unstoppable.

Still blows my mind I can't search within tweets I've liked.

Can someone please build something that sends me my twitter bookmarks daily or makes them searchable

Basic flow:

• Auth with [Twitter|Reddit]
• Hourly scrape of bookmarks and/or likes into db
• (optionally) pull a screenshot of each link
• Provide a search API/interface for the following
  • Link text
  • Title/description text (user-entered)
  • Date
  • Tweet text

Other thoughts:

• It would be nice to be able to have an encryption key per user so that an admin can't read or mine their data.
• For screenshots, if the user was auth'ed to a website we'd have to build an extension to use their credentials.

Tactical steps:

• Create a cargo-crate for Twitter likes/bookmarks, Reddit bookmarks/saved posts.
• Create corresponding apps
• Simple user sign-in flow, auth with services
• Simple search interface

Blockers:

• Twitter doesn't let you access bookmarks in the API (yet)

Added a cargo-crate for Reddit recently.

Twitter API now supports Bookmarks 😳 https://twittercommunity.com/t/build-with-bookmarks-on-the-twitter-api-v2/168804

Just thinking about this again. AI adds some extra use cases like https://rewind.ai
