I like the idea -- to extend yours -- all the bookmarks and pages visited (or pages dwelled on for more than a minute) get full-texted and filed to a local LLM. And you can query directly, and it has the context.

like physically ctrl-v-ing the links to a file? that is quite a mental muscle to build every time you find something interesting.

That is a good inspiration to chase. Keep it simple.

If I do one, it would be for personal use.

Because the moment it evolves into publicly available, then it would suck me into the dopamine of adding features for others :-)

Interesting. I would want something similar -- like an old school web annotator but kinda automated.

The sync is a major issue. If I save them on my desktop's Chrome, then my iPhone's Safari does not know those.

15K :o

That is some number. Mine would have been similar, but they got lost as I moved between tools.

do you use an extension to interactively save the links?

Ask HN: Do you still bookmark websites?

Many bookmarking tools were created, and then most got sucked into the tech's "how do I make more money cycle?" and died.My favorite was delicious, and then Pocket. Even Google had a bookmarking extension.Is saving links no longer considered fashionable?Yes, AI, but how does it go back to my favorite that I need to either read or revisit?Should I vibe code one?

Challenge is to find something that is closed to refurbished like new. There are just a few manufactures in US, Japan, and India.

Idea is to get into a tactile and mechanical setting. Hand written short drafts could be a starting point before starting to type.

Researched a few sites. But wanted practical ideas. Saw people selling questionable used ones at ebay

Bubble?
Is soap included? I seldom use body soap during a shower. Probably once a quarter, when my SO threatens me with consequences.

I am not a researcher, but I have a simple evolutionary theory that soap was invented in the last few thousand years and became a mass-market product after the beginning of industrialization.

If we survived and evolved without the use of something in the last few million years, then why is that thing needed?

Re:Mozilla to shut down Pocket on July 8 on Thursday May 22, 2025 @05:11PM (#44067086)
Backflip to Delicious to Pocket.

Why isn’t there a simple bookmarking solution that can survive technology shifts?

Re:Meme Creation Platform on Tuesday April 01, 2025 @12:24PM (#43548645)
Forget Model Context Protocol — we’re talking Meme Creation Platform. :-)

Because sometimes the only way to explain AI complexity… is with a Drake meme.

We built a natural language meme generator using Claude AI + Imgflip.

Type your idea, get a meme. That simple.

Perfect for dev rel, product launches, or just roasting your team’s JIRA board.

Happy April 1st — but this one’s actually real.

Re:How Each Pillar of the First Amendment Is Under Attack on Monday March 31, 2025 @12:04AM (#43530833)
Maybe the T-800 comes back reprogrammed to save us.

He is feeling out of place, his stock is down, his popularity has tanked.

He probably got what he wants from the current admin.

Hope it doesn’t get late.

op exhibited a point where if we do not know what we do not know--the estimates are always off by many order of several magnitudes.

if op consulted an experienced plumber--the estimates would be off probably by an addition hour.

if a junior dev estimates, yup, I can change the API endpoint in 10 minutes, he'll be wronged by the nuances of several intermediate steps:

- code

- review / merge

- deploy to qa

- qa testing

- deploy to staging

- deploy to prod

likewise for plumbing: "mom, i plugged the leak with a band-aid."

Re:Northern California Cities Should Undercut PG&E Now on Sunday February 09, 2025 @12:05AM (#42988599)
and cities can build roads and highways too?
I read the headline incorrectly as hard delete

But looks they just soft deleted the entry in their database.

Amazing!

Good luck with whatever you are planning to do next.

Hmu, if you are in the Bay Area next.

Re:Thank HN: My bootstrapped startup got acquired today on Friday January 24, 2025 @04:54AM (#42811796)
@paras: Congrats! If you remember we met in Palo Alto when you were thinking about moving to the Bay Area -- I spilled my tea which soiled your t-shirt :-)

This is a fantastic outcome. Why not keep going?
