Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I'm developing a tool to quickly collect and retrieve online discoveries and would like to hear your opinions! (alien.top)

Hey everyone, I hope you're doing well! As an indie developer, I've been working on a software tool that aims to solve a problem that I personally face. I'd really appreciate your thoughts and opinions on it within our community.

Being someone who spends a lot of time browsing the internet, whether it's for work projects, finding new recipes, or staying up to date with tech and media news, I often come across content or website that I want to save or refer back to later.

However, the traditional methods of bookmarking and clipping content have their limitations. Having a long list of bookmarks makes it difficult to find what I need, and storing clipped pages takes up a lot of space in my notes.

That's why I'm developing a tool called Mark Kit. It's designed to make it quick and easy to collect internet content, such as articles, software tools, recipes, and other valuable resources. Instead of saving the entire page, Mark Kit is akin to an advanced iteration of the bookmark bar. Regardless of the website or web page on the Internet, once collected, we automatically classify it for you.
The more importantly is to make content retrieval even more convenient, I'm planning to incorporate AI technology for content recognition. This means that even if you can't remember the specific details, a basic description of what you're looking for will help Mark Kit quickly find the relevant content.

I'm curious if any of you have faced similar challenges or if you have any suggestions to improve my idea?

Looks like a nice idea but some people will be skeptic about uploading that data online.

Yes, so I have been thinking about this recently as well. Is it possible to utilize cloud services such as iCloud or Google Drive as the data storage for users, instead of relying on our own servers?

Kinda sounds like Evernote web clipper to me...

There's also Tabcloud as a tab manager, good for closing a bunch of tabs and returning to them later.

Am I on the right track here, or is what you are proposing different from these?

It is different from a web clipper, as I see it more like an advanced version of bookmarks where you can save any webpage. The key difference from other bookmarks available in the market is that we automatically organize and categorize the saved webpages. We separate the webpage homepage from its content, and automatically add tags to different types of content to make it easier for you to find and search.

This is our website, and the official product is still under development : https://markkit.in/
