I really like the idea of mining your own browsing history for insight. I think that the value of our browsing history is completely lost to us because the lack of tooling to make saving and searching more accessible.

It's still WIP but I've been building a browser extension for this on GitHub here: https://github.com/lunabrain-ai/lunabrain

My goal is to be able to use the Internet as normal, but have the extension automatically index and rank content I find important. For example, if I spend 5 minutes on a page that I went to after Hackernews, odds are I found that important so it should be considered in my history differently than other things.

The network effect of this data is pretty interesting too. It would be really cool to see what my friends, or other high trust, high signal, groups i am in find interesting. Being on a page where my mentor has stared, annotated, shared this before will probably give me pause and make me consider this page more deeply.

I'm curious if anybody else has any notes to share.



The only note I have to share is that your idea is great.


haha thanks, trying to work towards a show HN


Have you looked at vivialdi? It has a very awesome calendar based history page

wow! this is awesome. I keep a daily journal with logseq and it feels similar to this. I like the idea of distilling someone’s day of browsing down to only relevant bits.
