BrainTool

Take a look at BrainTool. It's a bookmarks/tabs/todo-manager browser extension that writes to an org-mode syntax text file. Allows you to capture notes, containment hierarchy, to-do state etc and expose it all to your org PKMS. (Disclosure, I'm the developer.) https://braintool.org https://github.com/tconfrey/BrainTool

Interesting theory! I have seen previous replies on here saying non-FF is a deal killer. But any numbers I see show FF < 5% marketshare on desktop browsers, so I can't imagine there's more than maybe a quarter of HN readers on FF-only. Thus far my time is better spent elsewhere but the code is open source and a couple of people have expressed interest in trying a port. (https://github.com/tconfrey/BrainTool)

I've spent the last several months iterating on it with feedback from early adopters and UX volunteers. It's finally at the point where I feel confident enough to seek this communities feedback. BrainTool is a browser extension that makes it easy to save pages of interest into a personal 'topic' hierarchy, along with associated notes. Your topics are shown in an editable side panel which can also control the browser - opening and closing tabs, tab groups and windows by topic. There's a 90 sec intro video here: https://youtu.be/7zvyvATpoVM The above by itself makes BrainTool one of the handiest bookmarks/tabs/browser managers around, but the kicker is that all your data is s
