I found bookmarking tools often lacking a more holistic integration into research workflows that are not just about saving things, but also taking notes. We’ve developed Memex to s…

Kind of a bummer that this trended one week too early - next week we'll publish a big release with performance, UX and stability improvements. Especially we focused on indexing and…

Oli here from Memex. It may be that you have not touched the indexing preferences (which only index pages that are visited for more than 5 seconds) Is that the reason, or does it s…

Oli here from WorldBrain.io I am confused. We never offered lifetime subscriptions. However what we did is give people who supported us between 4 and 5 times the supporter amount i…

It's way better now but still some way to go! Kind of a bummer that this trended one week too early - next week we'll publish a big release with performance, UX and stability impro…

We are about to develop a bi-directional integration with Hypothes.is and Memex together with the Hypothes.is team. (Oli here from WorldBrain.io)

Oli here from WorldBrain.io A bit of a timing issue here :) We are about to have a big release with lots of improvements, including an API, performance, UX and bug fixes. Our API w…

The firefox extension is not officially supported, because it is still very spotty to use. Its missing APIs and was not worth the effort for now to support it with a limited featur…

Oliver here from the Memex team. Thanks for adding so much input to the conversation. :) Let me address a few points you made: > A complete P2P system would upend that model, assum…

How would you like to organise it? Like in your screenshot? Is it the ordering inside a collection that is important to you? Would it solve it if you were able to order items insid…

No that is an entirely different beast :) Both projects took the inspiration for the name from the same thing though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memex

> Why, might I ask? Your tagline is full text search, but I have to turn it on? It was a trial we added in the last onboarding overhaul 2 weeks ago. Will already be changed in the …

Great feedback. Will incorporate it in the upcoming UX/UI updates. Thanks for the effort to make us aware.

> On 2, I mean these (feeds, topic lists etc.) are probably not worth indexing at all, esp. since you keep all old content in the index. Yeah indeed. A better implementation for no…

Oliver here from the Memex team. glad you bring that up :) After we are finished with the current work on making Memex more stable and user friendly, we are working on shareable co…

> Sorry to give you a bad review Please don't feel sorry. :) If something does not work then we deserve those things to be said, also publicly. It's what after all helps us to impr…

Oliver here from the Memex team. Yes! That is indeed a major problem with all knowledge management tools. They tend to not be interoperable enough so you can easily integrate them …

Oliver here from the Memex team. Yes indeed we will be a regular SaaS business, but with a strong focus on privacy, data ownership and interoperability. More can be found here: htt…

Oliver here from the Memex team. 1. Yes the index is updated every time you visit. It appends the new terms, and keeps all old ones 2. That is a bit more difficult and not as relia…

Oliver here from the Memex team. A bummer, sorry you experience troubles. > Texts highlights are a pain to use (so I don't, even though I love highlighting text while reading) Why …

Oliver here from the Memex team. We have been featured a couple of times on HN. This one comes up every time. Gold. <3

Oliver here, from the Memex team. Yeah we know it has not been really well functioning in the past few months. Had a lot of bugs. We finally got a bigger round of funding and are n…
