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?

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

I want to start a typewriter club. Where we meet once a week in a garage and write the old school way.

The idea came after we downed a few drinks and chatting AI and fireworks.

New comment by indus in "Personal care products disrupt the human oxidation field"

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?

Backflip to Delicious to Pocket.

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

New comment by indus in "Meme Creation Platform"

indus — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 16:24:19 +0000

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.
