I was trying to get the Chrome team to understand this and implement a bookmark manager which took this into consideration. We have the compute power, the memory, and the understanding to build such a thing. Just a bookmark isn't useful. I want a snapshot of my mental map of how I got there, what it's about (auto summarization), other tabs I had open and their same histories, plus an easy way to pick that back up and dive in from that exact spot. I don't just want a saved session, but a place on a map of knowledge that I can jump back to. Then give me fuzzy search that can match the idea / meaning of something across these saves, so I can find it without remembering the URL or page title. Give me a topical timeline with a graph so I can see when I was thinking about something. The idea of a "bookmark" for a "page" on the web is cute and had a place in history, but we can do a lot better in 2017.
- eitland 9y agoYes, you are into something. However I think you can forget about getting the 2017 version of google to implement it. You might have better luck with trying to implement it as an extension to Firefox although the extension API is (at least for now) going to be a shadow of its former self AFAIK. My tab tree is the closest thing I've come to an effort-less mind-map that works for me. (Effortless as in ctrl-click to open a new sub-tree so I can always see what is related to what and how I found something really hard-to-find-but useful.) Even though my current setup works well I'm quite sure I or someone else will be able to create something event better in the future.
