Very cool. Does it work to connect my phone and laptop to the same firehose?

I often find myself irritated because I read an article on my phone 6 months ago and the history is gone.

You can host Hister on a home server and access it from multiple devices.

Automatic page capture on mobile currently requires Firefox, since mobile Chrome does not support browser extensions.

Orion browser hopefully can run the Firefox extension on iOS.

Then joining the mobile device to tailscale network where Hister is hosted on a server on a host in the network … probably this will work at least that is my plan to try.

Thank you for an amazing project. I’m a heavy msgvault user and adding Hister to my browsing will be hugely complementary.

Can you support kiwi browser mobile? It has extension support and is chromium based.

Happy to contribute the feature if needed
