Your digital memory extension, as a browser extension
…well, that was the idea. So far, the browser extension can only store the pages. The earlier demo gives an impression how organisation and note taking could work.
With no movement in this project for several years, I figured it’s time to consider it over, archive this blog, dehydrate its content before bitrot consumes it. But first, I’ll give an overview of my WebMemex-related efforts of the past years for any curious visitor or future archeologist.
My goal over the past spring and summer was to enable people to store web pages and create their personal web archives. Hereby an overdue report of six months of undisturbed coding.
tl;dr: back to work, with support from the Prototype Fund, to spend 6 months on personal web archiving.
tl;dr: Browser extension has been released, with as its first main feature local web page preservation.
A summary of project progress over the last two months. TL;DR: Many contributed features, now refocussing on core functionality, and unlicensing the code.
Release early and often, right? It is half-baked, undercooked, and somewhat sluggish, but here is the first (pre)release of the WebMemex browser extension. Consider it a teaser for what is to come. What does it do? It currently captures
The kind SIDN fonds just donated €8k for the initial development of the WebMemex browser extension, to pursue the roadmap until May. A big thanks for believing in the mission! Over the last few weeks, this development has been progressing
On Github, for now. Currently it logs the pages you visit, shows them in a list, and lets you filter them using a full-text index. Not much yet, but it's a start!
Initial project roadmap for the WebMemex browser extension, that lets you grow your personal web to organise your knowledge.
