One thing that would be awesome is if historify would spider someone's blog. That way, for instance, I could point it towards paulgraham.com and have all of his essays saved.

Re: I created a bookmarking service you can love.
#103Certainly a useful service. I know this because the way I used to accomplish this earlier was, create a Google customized search and manually enter the sites that I bookmarked with delicious and search from there.
So you got that covered, and I will use it.
However, I just signed up and imported all my delicious bookmarks and did a search for a tag and the results were not so impressive. Only 5 with historious and 17 on delicious. Hopefully this will get better.
Looking forward to using your service. Good job!

#104 You found a great article yesterday - now you can't find it!

#105This is incredible, I see myself using this a lot as Evernote sucks at this particular use case. Thanks!

#106I've created a very similar social bookmarking webapp. You just enter a URL, and my webapp auto-tags it, indexes it for search, and shares it with all of your followers.

#107As others have mentioned, Delicious import would be handy. Even better, however, would be to take it a step further and automatically import on an on-going basis. This would achieve the following workflow: 1. In my Historious settings, add my Delicious feed URL 2. Find a cool link and add it via the Delicious bookmarklet 3. Historious polls the feed, picks up the new link, and grabs the page Now I have the best of bo…
I would like this feature also.
As an alternative you can put the Delicious bookmarklet code and the Historio.us bookmarklet code together in one giant bookmarklet to post to both at once. It's not very elegant, but it works.

#108Simple and potentially very useful. Will give this a try for a while (previously using pinboard.in).
Suggestions: 1) Chrome extension: keybinding to add current page. 2) Search results: time options. - filtering, eg last 24h/last month - sorting, results with time headlines and good spacing for quicker overview (looking for some news article read last week)

#109You found a great article yesterday - now you can't find it! I think the above style of copy works far better for connecting with readers and calling out the problem you solve. It's shorter (always good) and assumes the reader agrees with you (the ones that don't agree aren't your target anyway - so why equivocate? Plus, in fact everyone has had this problem).
I agree with that, I will change the copy. We need ideas like these if we want to increase our conversion rate, and we do!
Thanks again!

#110This sounds really cool, I have just signed up. That said, my NoScript firefox plugin gets in the way of the bookmarklet complaining about cross site scripting. I had a quick go at putting in a exception regex, but no dice. Anyway, I thought you might like to know that noscript could trip your users up. I don't have time right to work out why it's not working, so hopefully I'll get to try out your service a bit later…
Thanks for that report, I'll see what we can do!
