According to this article, ZFS is sub-optimal for databases due to fragmentation of the db files. Could you please comment? Thx. http://bartsjerps.wordpress.com/2013/02/26/zfs-ora-…

> If you save a page but someone else needs it, they're out of luck. There is a sharing feature to solve this problem. :) But I agree with your point. I actually looked into WARC e…

Understood. Thx for the comment. The ability to download your data in a well-documented format (possibly WARC) is coming soon. I hope you will try out PurpleRails in the meanwhile.…

Here's my take on a solution to the problem of linkrot: https://www.purplerails.com/ Major points: * Automatically saves an exact copy of pages (no need to explicitly bookmark) in …

The 300 number is probably correct. The UI shows the most-recent 100 pages by default. I'll be adding 'next' and 'previous' page links soon. I mostly use the search function since …

You can go into the options and disable your email host. It's not the easiest interface :) but the format is hopefully obvious: it's a JSON array; if any of the strings appears as …

Thanks for the report! Logout if extension not installed is related to the same reasons why saved passwords don't work yet. The timer is supposed to be a debug feature that I thoug…

Thanks for taking the time to write your feedback. I appreciate it. With PurpleRails, you will rarely be typing your password once you successfully login. It works kinda like Gmail…

Excellent point. The ability to download your data in a well-documented format is coming soon. See also my reply to hollerith on a native client. Time limitations are what is preve…

Deduping is per-user not across users. For the sort of content here, this works well. E.g., static assets of web pages are the ones that are dedup-ed. The basic algo is to generate…

I see your point. I may release installable native apps that can serve as the local storage backend for the truly paranoid. Time limitations etc: the usual. :) I anticipate that Pu…

> ah, so it saves... everything? wow! that's nuts. I mean, where the heck are you going to store all of that? Please see my reply to idlewords. It isn't literally everything; there…

You're right, it takes longer to upload a page than to download it. And image gallery-like pages take long (I know because I save Imgur pages now than then :)). But in practice, th…

1) saving is automatic 2) privacy-first architecture (e.g., plaintext is never uploaded, plaintext URLs are never uploaded etc)

Pages are saved in the background. Nothing too fancy. I dedup when uploading: that helps a lot.

I've been thinking about this for a while now. Please check out my web app to solve this problem: https://www.purplerails.com/ The main idea is to use a browser extension to automa…

Thank you for your kind words!

Please also look at https://www.purplerails.com/ I tried address the privacy angle from day 1. Data is encrypted and only ciphertext is sent to the cloud. Index is stored only on y…

Shameless plug: https://www.purplerails.com/ (1) Saves an exact copy of the page also. (2) Indexes the text. (3) Encrypted (search occurs on your computer). Been in beta for a whil…

Really nice utility. More developers should dip their toes into crypto and develop applications like this. :) A comment in the code about why it's OK in your case to use the same k…

I believe one additional way to mitigate Risk #2 "Broken Authentication and Session Management" should become best practice: The ability to sign out of all other sessions. Without …
