Pycon Italy Giveaway Idea: HistoryBox #21

Open bglearning opened 2 years ago

bglearning commented 2 years ago

HistoryBox

Main Idea: Search through everything you encountered during your browsing everywhere, all at once. E.g. "Tweet with video about a penguin walking off in the antarctic nothingness alone", "article about the crypto market with an image of a bear in the header", "HN comment that talked about and analyzed an onion farmer".

Somewhat akin to a mini and self-hosted version of mymind.

Why?

Sometimes what we are looking for is something we encountered in the past. A search engine like Google may not find it as the search space is too big. Having the search space be our history can pin it down better.

Some Details

The application would save articles, text snippets, images, videos that the user encounters during their browsing. As to what to "save", this can be on a spectrum from having the user explicitly mark it (essentially bookmarking) to the application continuously (possibly in a smart way i.e. with some filtering) capturing all/most of the data coming the user's way.

The user would then be able to search through that archive/history box when they want/need.
