I’ve seen a handful of this kind of “Google, but only for things I’ve seen before” app. I think it’s something the world needs, but there are a lot of different approaches and I don’t think anyone has quite nailed it. Ultimately the best solutions will likely use many different cataloging strategies depending on the content, and will allow you to tag or otherwise organize important content. Funny enough if I had such an app I could make a list of 4 or 5 examples, but right now can only find one: https://github.com/amirgamil/apollo I remember seeing one posted to HN that used the browser API to essentially dump websites you visit to disk. There’s also bookmarking and archiving tools like: https://pinboard.in/ https://unmark.it/ https://www.linkace.org/ https://archivy.github.io/ https://github.com/kanishka-linux/reminiscence https://perkee

Back in the mists of time, I used to use wwwoffle proxy. It was great for low-latency links, but also had the benefit of keeping an offline archive of whatever you'd browsed. Project's still there, although not sure how well it does with the modern web. http://www.gedanken.org.uk/software/wwwoffle/ There are a bunch of more modern variations too: https://archivebox.io/ - "Your own personal internet archive" https://getpolarized.io/ (as seen on HN previously) https://github.com/kanishka-linux/reminiscence https://github.com/fake-name/ReadableWebProxy

I use Reminiscence [0], self-hosted bookmark and archive manager. I chose this software because it's open source, easy to install, and self-hosted. It works like other bookmarking software, but it has automatic tagging and summarization which is plus. When I bookmark a link from the internet, I just submit the link. Reminiscence will crawl the link later (asynchronous communication). You can also use browser to bookmark. Currently, browser extension is available for Firefox (experimental not official). This software has been discussed on HN [1] a few months ago. [0]: https://github.com/kanishka-linux/reminiscence [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17942032
