Recoll: A desktop full-text search tool

I've been running a setup with Recoll and https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox for a few months now [1]. Each morning archivebox scrapes all new links that I've put into my (text-based) notes and saves them as HTML singlefiles. Then Recoll indexes them.

It's very fast and ~4 lines of code. It's surprising how often I rediscover old blog posts & papers that are much better than what Google yields me.

From my experience Recoll isn't very good at searching for aliases sadly.

Tangential but I really love the look of your site, especially the footnotes displayed adjacent to the text. Did you create the layout yourself? I have been looking for a theme like this for a paper discussion website.

Not my site, but it looks like a theme based on Tufte CSS: https://edwardtufte.github.io/tufte-css/
