Thanks, that looks interesting, I will test it out and see if it continuously sync or must be manually imported from time to time, or if it can replaces linkwarden entirely. My linkwarden instance also saves as a pdf not just html and bookmarks are in GB in size, if hister does it more efficiently it’s even better.
I had the same problem for a very long time but it is largely solved now. I started to simply ask chatgpt "hey I read something about x, y month ago but can't find it now". There is a surprisingly high chance chatbot can just give the exact answer back to me, usually with extra interesting reading materials as a plus.
Is all your browsing history already with chatgpt or something?
This has an MCP server specifically so a workflow like that would work for you. This is just made to gold the data, and I'm a human accessible way should your AI fail you
No I don't share anything with chatgpt. But I do have a $20 subscription, if it matters. I feel It's just capable enough to find what I want from my usually vague and inaccurate description.
Nothing about this depends on the provider, you could spin up a local Qwen and give it a search tool like SearXNG or something. At this point local models are more than good enough for simple tasks like that. Using ChatGPT is just (usually) faster and simpler
There should be no real vendor lock in in my opinion. You can ask the same question with pi + qwen (or any harness + good enough model) with internet access and it will work. Chatgpt is just one option came in handy.
Ooh, very nice! I have my own tool I’ve been using for this [https://github.com/bradrn/full-history-search/], and it’s incredibly useful, but it’s also pretty primitive. This one looks a lot nicer.
I've been using this since the last time it came up on here. I don't have it index every page I visit, I use the browser plugin to tell it to index specific ones. It is useful for sure, but I think it will really shine once I've been using it long enough for it to build up a bigger index of things that are old enough that I've actually forgotten about them.
A recent discussion about this tool

Saw on Discord that they have to change their name, since https://histre.com sent them a letter.
Integrate it with linkwarden so it searches the bookmarked pages.
It does that already. https://hister.org/docs/import#importing-from-linkwarden

And now you are even more dependent on OpenAI...
You didn't solve the problem, you are just trading pain points.

Google Chrome did this in 2008. Full-text search over all visited pages, stored offline. It was very useful and I miss it.
Nobody seems to remember it, even though it was a headline feature. Was removed in 2013, I think due to technical constraints.
Will definitely try this.
I remember this as well. I hadn't noticed it was gone until just now, but you're right.
This is really cool. I like the idea of combining it with a offline Wikipedia cache.
