Greetings!

After coming across this extension I thought about sharing what I've learned here for others if this seems unrelated, or pitching a software project please feel free to close this issue.

Yesterday I came across a browser extension from WorldBrain called Memex, it's inspired by Vannevar Bush's vision of a Memex.

After doing some initial digging around, I learned data generated using the extension could be exported locally to a JSON format. Upon learning this, I was curious about the possibilities of using this extension and its features and using a memacs module to create an org-file to view the information in emacs.

Some of its features include:

  • Full-Text Search in Web History & Bookmarks:
    Search with every word of all websites & PDFs you visited & filter by time, domain, tags or bookmarks

  • Web Annotations:
    Add notes to websites and pieces of text in them

  • Blazing fast and flexible organization
    Add bookmarks, tags or sort websites into lists on the fly.

If anyone has used the extension already or has thoughts about the extension I would love to hear them! Thank you for your time.
