#12How would you search a screen shot?
Both OneNote and evernote supports.

#13Frankly, I'd be thrilled to have a Firefox fork that is designed to show exactly one page, specified by the command's sole argument, and do nothing else. All the "tab" stuff and bookmarks could be offloaded to shell scripts.
Taken even further, you could modify the browser to expose git-ish hooks (for example, calling .browser/hooks/request-file when fetching a resource could allow you to implement request blocking).

#14Sounds like a tall order. Heck, just an app that could accurately let you search screenshots would be killer. I use X-Mind 8 for a lot of this, but it’s seriously dated and slow. It’s primarily mind mapping software, but it lets you include hyperlinks and notes on objects. I’d be happy with a fresher, more up to date version of that. As for screenshots, I know it’s not a full-screenshot search, but there’s a neat mac…
OneNote and Evernote are doing a great job in searching screenshots. mindmap support is not there.
I use freemind for mindmaps, but notetaking experience is not usable.
And all of these items noted have a series of browser tabs open. So storing links is not an option.

Pretty neat! I wish, could have started without the learning curve and set up.
I will try to get on it.

#16I am the developer of https://mindsaha.com/ that aims at combining mind maps, notes, bookmark saving and a simple task management as well. I currently do not support screenshots, drawings though. If this is something you are curious about, do let me know, I'll be happy to provide you an early access to try it out.
Oooh this sounds right up my alley. I’ve started developing some tools like this but didn’t quite get as far as I wanted

Are you looking for a single tab browser? If yes, then Firefox Focus (on mobile) is one. It comes with a content blocker for Safari too (iOS).

No longer developed, but does the uzbl browser fit your vision? https://www.uzbl.org/

when the fundamental design goal of a tool is “if you don’t like it, change it, we won’t stop you and we’ll even show you all the knobs and dials”, and the tool has had that ethos for 45 years, there’s a lot to learn.
C-h t RET is a good place to start, and then eintr and the rest of the manuals help too.
Some people find that starter kits are good; i find that they add more confusion.
