Linkalot: A web-based inbox for your links

Re:Linkalot: A web-based inbox for your links by bloodm on Friday February 28, 2020 @10:23AM (#22443347)

You visit a website that you may find intersting. e.g. https://businessfinancing.co.uk/the-oldest-company-in-almost...

You have folders from a-z in your data directory.

You save the website in /data/o/oldestcompanies or into a deeper directory to your liking.

Let recoll take care of the rest.

Thanks for sharing your flow/idea. If understand correctly here are the PROS and CONS.

PROS

- full text search

- privacy: save only what you want

- save webpage has OK rendering

- easy backup using backup software

CONS

- need to save manually and specify directory/file name

- no screenshot. (no screenshot in search results)

- save webpage not 100% accurate

- requires additional backup solution

Yes. Works for me. There will be always Pros and Cons.

- need to save manually and specify directory/file name

This may be also a PRO for me since I may be able to find it without using recoll. Also, how many websites do you need to save? I assume only a tiny fraction. If you want to save everything, recoll does offer this more or less out of the box:

"Indexing visited WEB pages with the Recoll Firefox extension"

This is another stand alone software that may do what you are looking for. https://getpolarized.io/2019/04/11/Polar-Initial-Crowdfundin...
