#192Why does it need a metric ton of permissions? To everything - data, history, notifications etc.

#193This is still not as powerful as my one, simple trick to handle all bookmarks, ever: Print to PDF. I've been doing it since last century, and I have 10's of thousands of PDF's of every single web page I've ever found interesting, sitting right there in a directory on my computer. Its indexable, searchable, grok'able, available off-line, allows me to harvest data without fuss, and gives me access to anything I can rem…
> Yeah, my computer is fast enough that I can just do "find . -name '*.pdf' -exec pdftotext {} \; | grep -i someSearchTerm" and come back later. You may be interested in my ripgrep-all [1] tool, it should allow you to search those tens of thousands of PDFs in under a second (with hot cache) [1] https://phiresky.github.io/blog/2019/rga--ripgrep-for-zip-ta...
Really great tool, if there is a way to promote it to the main pacman archives, instead of having to use AUR, let me know where I can vote

It really frustrates me that its 2020 and they still don't have a real extension for Firefox, the only thing preventing me from regularly using it.
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)
That would be really nice.

#195I've literally used over 10 bookmark managers in the last 10 years and Bookmark OS ( https://bookmarkos.com ) is the only one that I've stuck with
Yes, HTML-only bookmark manager like BookmarkOS is very good especially if you used a disparate amount of platforms like Windows desktop PC, Linux laptop, and iOS Mobile.

#196Why should I use this instead of Zotero?
Because Zotero has no native App for iOS or Android.

Based on your comment I stumbled upon this tool: https://wkhtmltopdf.org/
It preserves hyperlinks and styling. Neat.

> EDIT: Seeing the command-line you're using, the search you do is over the files' names, correct? The PDF/(original web page) text content is not indexed, right? Just to make sure I understand correctly. pdftotext gets the actual text from the PDF. I don't do this, but I'm sure that you could automate the process of generating a text file for each PDF in a directory with pdftotext and then ripgrep the text files whe…
ripgrep can actually do this seamlessly with its preprocessors: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/b72ad8f8aa897191c...
That's absolutely awesome! Much better than my theoretical solution.

SingleFile is a really great extension, but I wanted something a bit more pared down that I could easily use on both mobile and desktop and sync between them using Syncthing. So I'm trying to copy some of SingleFile's UI and graft it on to Markdown-Clipper.[1] And also add the ability to save the images that get picked up by Readability (which Markdown-Clipper uses).

Joplin already has this feature via browser extension. It has a mobile app, but never tested it myself.
Thank you for this! I've just tested it on desktop and I think it's wonderful.

I really hate this kind of response. No, your thing is not strictly better. It's cool, it might be better for you and many others, but it doesn't even do the same thing (archive all visited pages)!
True, there are different approaches to solve this problem according to the individual preferences.
A user recently said, X would use 'Calendar to remind about bookmarks' in a discussion about this problem[1].
