grasp

I generally archive as pdf ONLY things really interesting me, in org-mode/org-roam managed notes as org-attachments, most other links are just noted with a not-that-good but the best I found combo: - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copy-as-org-m... and https://github.com/kuanyui/copy-as-org-mode - https://beepb00p.xyz/promnesia.html and https://github.com/karlicoss/promnesia and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/promnesia/ - https://beepb00p.xyz/grasp.html and https://github.com/karlicoss/grasp/ and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/grasp The first to quickly copy text from html, the second to see if something is already noted, the third to quickly archive the bookmark. In the past I've used Zotero witch works automatically VERY well (and on deduplicated storage does not consume so much disk space)

I'm not using browser bookmarks anymore, instead I am just using plaintext files (org-mode in my case). When I want to make a bookmark I use grasp [0] to simply capture in in the 'links.org' file, possibly with some notes/selected text and tags. Now and then I would skim through this file, refile the most important/interesting things to other files, and put the rest into 'later.org' (things I might never look at again :) ). The upside is that bookmarks become alive this way, you can easily edit them, add more context, interlink, etc. I also mirror saved items from other services (e.g. reddit/HN/twitter/instapaper) as plaintext org-mode files, via orger [1]. Then, all of this feeds into Promensia [0] [1], a tool I wrote that serves as a web browsing copilot and surfaces my bookmarks (or any relevant links, really) when I'm browsing. That w

I've struggled for a while with this kind of overload and ended up with a system that makes it manageable: 1. make is as easy to 'bookmark' stuff as possible -- with a single hotkey 2. make it as easy to search over bookmarks as possible -- also ideally with a single hotkey or as quick as you could do google search My way of achieving this is using org-mode files for 'bookmarks' [0] and using emacs/ripgrep to search over it [1]. Additional benefit of org-mode is that it's very easy to add notes, priorities, refile bookmarks, so the most interesting stuff propagates through my notes, and I don't feel bad about missing out on information that I don't have time to process because I can always quickly find it when I need.

It might be a bit trickier, because if you hardcode the port in the manifest, the user wouldn't be able to change it? Might be better than nothing I guess, but on the long term you'd need to add the port in settings and request the permission for localhost+port dynamically? But that's got another issue, e.g. last time I tried it [0] for my extension, Firefox didn't support dynamic URL permissions for URLs with ports.

I've written browser extension (https://github.com/karlicoss/grasp), that allows me to create bookmarks straight into org-mode. Then I can manage them in emacs alongside other org-mode notes.
