The idea is superb. It is actually a big niche. We all have pieces of our memories as photos. But our digital life is not documented. If I want to use my browser history, a lot of pages from some years ago dissapeared. Bookmark handling by all major browsers is lame. I'd love to use a browser that helps me gather knowledge and create my own Internet Archive.

I just hope he won't sell the company when it kicks off

There are numerous solutions to this problem. Both historius & pinboard provide full text search on any link that you save.

Their note taking leaves something to be desired, so perhaps Beam could provide some value add in this area.

They don't seem to do it automatically and on mobile devices. So there is also a way to improve
