Yo this is really excellent, it'd be cool to share collections with friends doing similar research.
Does it save the scrollTop position in the extension so that one ends up at the same spot on the page?
Also, have you ever read that oldschool CS paper on Breadcrumbs and how people envisioned that the future of web surfing would be long trails/breadcrumbs you'd follow that other people forged ahead on the web-of-links?
- ksbrooksjr 9y agoI'm glad you like it! I didn't even think about saving the scroll position, that's actually a really good idea. The paper you're referring to sounds a lot like Vannevar Bush's concept of the "Memex", which was a precursor to modern hyperlinks. I do think that a huge opportunity has been missed by the major browser vendors in relation to bookmarks. That area of technology has been pretty stagnant throughout the history of the internet, which seems odd given the fact that saving links is such a basic necessity.
- sova 9y agoTrue words my friend. Glad you're remedying the situation. Trailblazing and trail keeping
