May I humbly suggest https://histre.com/ that I'm building?

Not only can you bookmark and take notes, you can share collections of bookmarks with your teams and they can add theirs to the collection too.

You can save all the open tabs in a browser window into a collection and either use it to restore that window later - perhaps even in a different browser or computer, or share that with your teams so they can open the same set of tabs.

It has tree style web history too.

The disjointed suggestions they have in this post is actually fully integrated in Histre, Emacs-style if you will. The core idea is that you generate a lot of signal as you go about your day doing stuff online and that can automatically be put to use for you. Unlike the Knowledge Bases like Notion and Evernote, where you need to capture and organize the information (which is useful in a different way), Histre strives to automatically organize it for you.

I'd argue that this supports the "remote work and school" usecase better.

Speaking of integrations, it has Hacker News integration too. Your upvotes are saved into a collection. You can then share that collection with just some friends or make it public (sort of your frictionless publishing page). I'm working on recommending articles based on your HN upvotes.



I created an account and then I was asked for my credit card details for a 30 day trial. I declined to do so and went to the home page where I was invited to install an extension.

I clicked on the Firefox logo and it was a broken link so I can't really give this a ride.


Hey really sorry about that, bad timing. I got an email from a Firefox reviewer this morning asking me to remove the uses of innerHTML. I'm working on fixing that. It is taking a little while because of how I use it in Quill (https://quilljs.com/). I'll send you an email once it is fixed. The extension is open source by the way: https://gitlab.com/histre/browser-extension


I've fixed the Firefox issue now. Please give it a try: https://histre.com/install/


This looks super cool, I'm very interested in trying it. It looks like the link to the Firefox extension is broken though, is there a workaround to install the extension?


Thanks! Sorry, I'm fixing this. The extension is actually open source, so you could install it from source from here: https://gitlab.com/histre/browser-extension But then you won't receive updates. So please give me some time to fix it and then you can install from Firefox addons page.


I agree. Piecing together a bunch of extensions doesn't help improve my workflow. I love that it is all integrated here. Being able to share is great!


What's the takeout process look like? That is, once I generate a body of useful information but perhaps decide to move on from the service, how do I usefully take it with me? Or is that part of my lock-in?


Definitely no plans for lock in. I haven't implemented downloading the data yet but I will do that soon. I'm working on csv and Emacs org file exports first.


You mention “automatically” a couple times, can you elaborate on what it is doing and how it does it? At the moment, it’s not clear.
