Is there a way of viewing a list of urls that you have historified? Maybe ordered reverse chronologically?
I created a bookmarking service you can love.

#42Is there a way of viewing a list of urls that you have historified? Maybe ordered reverse chronologically?
Yes, you can search for * and that will give you all the links. There's a small problem with that, currently, so you can search for http instead to achieve the same result.

#43I love it when people implement the stuff I haven't had the time to do myself. Well done. One suggestion: Your use case is well defined. Don't get thrown off by people in here suggesting millions of features.
Thanks, we're trying not to. We're pretty resistant to adding tags, categories, lists, etc. Even the listing methods implemented now are side-effects rather than actual functionality.

Ah ok. It might be more useful to have a direct link for this on the search page?
Is there a search help page showing advanced search criteria?

I'm not getting any results back, even if I search for just http. There are definitely urls stored in my account - if I try and export I can see them...

#46it isn't clear what it is. i click a bookmarklet and you save it and i can search from there? i can do that with my history, though?
i don't bookmark sites because i don't realize i'll find them valuable till after i've left.
I really dislike the top image you have ("in three easy steps") because i sat looking at it wondering if it were an image or a video or a heading, can you make it more obvious it's a slideshow?
after signing up: ew email confirmation. also seems like i accidentally signed up twice.
i installed your extension, but have no idea what it does :) also, what does "historify site" mean?
if i could summize my feedback in a line it'd be: looks neat, but tell me (the user) what the bet is i'm taking in using your service. clearly.

#47I signed up, but didn't install the Chrome extension. I think you need to be a lot clearer about what exactly is going on. For example, if I install the Chrome extension, and then visit my banking site, are you indexing my bank statements? Do you only index pages we click Historify on? The answer to that question ought to be in the privacy policy. You're asking us to install an extension and give you access to EVERYT…
I didn't think about the "indexing everything" from what they said. But now that you mention it, it does sound like a great app. You could have an extension that indexes everything the user goes to. The trick would be making it usable; I almost never use the "history" in my browser, because it tends to never find what I'm looking for. But if you try and solve it in a centralized way, you could do several interesting…

FYI: History in Safari rocks. Just open the history view and you have fast searching (including in page text - just checked) that shows all the resulting pages in a coverflow view.

Thank you for your feedback, it is very valuable to us as we're always looking for ways to explain what we do better. The beauty of historious is that you actually find yourself using it a lot, because bookmarking with it is very cheap, just one click with no lists to clean up.
The image we do need to change, as it blends in too much. The email confirmation is just for resetting your password, we don't use it for much else right now... The extension just bookmarks sites when you click it.
Thanks, we will change the front page to reflect all this!

It does, but the noise is too large, and the pages will eventually be deleted, so it's not very suitable for long term storage.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to check that out. I use Chrome and Firefox, so I wouldn't know.
Still, something computer and browser independent might make for an interesting application.
