As a power user of Chrome, I've always wanted to go back to certain articles that I had read — but I was always faced with pages and pages of Chrome history.

So we built out DigitalBrain — a chrome extension that automatically will categorize what you're surfing and put it into different buckets+ based on what subject/topic it is using NLP. We also help you annotate and take notes within those articles.

Please let us know what you think, we're happy to answer questions about anything. Let's change how we use our browser history.

Here is the demo: https://youtu.be/hfbY13xXMd8

Thank you so much!

We're using a couple of NLP tools and the server is on Node.JS

1. Can I store my data locally? 2. Are you selling information on my browsing? 3. Does the extension allow me to choose whether I infringe copyrights? e.g. can I still annotate/save/read SciHub papers? https://sci-hub.tw/

Thanks for your question!

1. So far we are saving all the personal data locally. So we don't have access to what you are browsing personally. In the future we are going to save the data to our servers for the sake of synchronizing in case you want to see your profile from another device. 2. We are not selling any personal information. 3. Our extension doesn't use any APIs for copyrights. The only thing our servers receive is a link that the server can scrape for necessary information.

maybe you should join forces with https://worldbrain.io/ :)

they just have full text search, but the rest of the product is great, it could really be a good synergy

It looks interesting. What are you using for category names? Can I add my own private categories?

We're using a specific NLP tool that helps with categorization; the topics/subtopics are actually quite deep.

We're currently building a feature that will help users build their own private categories.
