Show HN: PageDash, Your Personal Web Archive

ernsheong 9y ago
Founder here, happy to field questions and feedback! Right now PageDash is quite a simple product, but hopefully with sufficient traction we can continue to implement things like full-text search, tagging support, link sharing, as well as mobile support. Your support is absolutely crucial to making PageDash come alive even more in the future. This is my first product, thank you for being nice :)
- gooseus 9y ago
  Dig it, got some questions... Is the data stored exclusively on your Google Cloud or can I see my archived pages while offline and backup my web archive locally? Essentially, what guarantees do I have regarding access to my data should your startup, my local infrastructure, or civilization collapse?
  - ernsheong 9y ago
    Right now PageDash is centrally hosted on Google Cloud, although if there is sufficient demand I would consider a locally-hosted licensing model and bring your own S3/GCP Storage bucket, or maybe even open source. Your question is very valid and right now all I can say is PageDash aims to provide a way for you to retrieve your data either via direct downloads or bucket syncing for the technically inclined. Essentially each page is simply a folder with all the assets stored in a flat structure, so there is no fancy tech here. Once the page is processed and archived, it's a done deal. My personal guarantee is that as long as someone is paying and PageDash is not going hugely red I will keep the service up. The free quota is meant as a trial and you can help keep PageDash up by subscribing :) Cloud brings other benefits such as the ability to retrieve from anywhere, as well as use multiple clients. But yes, I can understand the concern, it is a valid one.
    - gooseus 9y ago
      I'm sorry, I don't think your product, as it is, provides enough value for the cost. I would suggest using the WARC format someone else mentioned as well as providing a mechanism for backing up locally and a guarantee that all data will be available for X weeks/months/years following any buyout or failure of the business. Good luck!
    - dwg 9y ago
      Love what you guys did wish PageDash. Archiving locally is perhaps the main reason why I'm paying Evernote and not PageDash, however. However, I've never been happy with the way Evernote tries to be a filing system and I like the simplicity of PageDash. That said If I'm going to invest time to archive I would like to know that the effort won't be wasted if you go out of business.
- CJKinni 9y ago
  Would it be possible to add auto-archiving to the extension? On the $9/mo plan, I'd probably still not hit 100GB/mo of uploads. My main reason for wanting this feature is that I could use the full text search (when it's available) to search every webpage I've visited. I find myself more and more frequently unable to find things I know existed at one point. I've been thinking of building my own solution where I just archive every page I visit on the fly then build a personal search for pages I've previously visited.
  - ernsheong 9y ago
    Hi there, I actually know someone else who wants this feature. I feel like most of the sites out there are "junk", i.e. things that are not worth saving. So just save the gems. But that's me. My feelings aside, technically this would be rather hard to do as it stands because saving a page is quite costly, i.e. mainly: 1) data retrieval, 2) data upload will cause you to not be able to use the internet seamlessly as PageDash will stall things. For some reason, even though the assets are already in the browser, PageDash as an extension cannot retrieve it directly. Also the extension right now over-mines, i.e. retrieves way more than what is actually needed to render the page, just because there's a lot of dead CSS/JS/images links out there, and I haven't figured out a way to make it more efficient. However, if all you care about is the HTML (which is essentially what full-text searches search), then this is technically possible, but the result won't be pretty. But auto-save is technically and realistically possible if you only care about the HTML.
    - ernsheong 9y ago
      Chrome does support keyboard shortcuts, though. Go to chrome://extensions/, look for "Keyboard shortcuts" at the bottom right, and configure away for a quick save :)
  - kbyatnal 9y ago
    Check this out - seems to do what you want. https://github.com/lengstrom/falcon https://github.com/lengstrom/falcon "Chrome extension for flexible full text browsing history search. Every time you visit a website in Chrome, Falcon indexes all the text on the page so that the site can be easily found later."
tevanraj 9y ago
Awesome stuff!
tmlee 9y ago
This will be great for archiving the past :)
bobbyongce 9y ago
Very interesting idea
michaelmior 9y ago
Looks interesting. Why would I use PageDash over something like Evernote or Pocket?
- ernsheong 9y ago
  Good question. PageDash aims to preserve the page in the original format and render it just as you saw it. Right now, Evernote does quite a bad job at rendering, I've used it a lot. Pocket on the other hand specializes at stripping out the HTML and leaving just the content in a reader-mode fashion, though I've not tried their premium offering that also archives. PageDash archives from the front-end, while many archivers tend to archive by sending a link to the backend which then queries the website remotely, so you might not be archiving what you saw exactly, which admittedly in many cases doesn't matter. The upside of this technicality is that you can save content that you see only when you are logged in!
  - michaelmior 9y ago
    Sounds like PageDash is not really for me then, but I can definitely see why some others might want to use it. Best of luck!
    - ernsheong 9y ago
      Hi Michael, what is your use case? I do plan to include a reader mode in PageDash to view pages in a clean layout. It is possible because PageDash has all the raw data available for each page.
abainbridge 9y ago
Excellent work. I can now close all those browser tabs I've had open in the background for weeks, just so I don't lose the page.
- ernsheong 9y ago
  Thank you! Would really love to hear your feedback on the product, warts and all. jonathan[[at]]pagedash.com
- vpvp 9y ago
  wouldn't OneTab extension be a better solution. I see PageDash as a personal Internet Archive/Wayback Machine
  - abainbridge 9y ago
    Possibly yes for the problem as I described it. But really what I want is to mark pages that I thought were interesting and _might_ want to see again at some point in my life. Maybe that will be in two years. My approach of leaving a load of tabs open for a few weeks catches many of the cases of pages I want to re-read, but is obviously not feasible for years. And really I want to be able to search my history with queries like (contains foo, not bar, was marked sometime in 2014 or 2015). And see my history in chronological order. The problem with my browser's history is that it is polluted with the pages I never want to see again, like last week's weather forecast. I'm sure that there's something that does this already, maybe it is Evernote. But PageDash's guarantee of preserving the historical state seems novel and worthwhile.
    - aeorgnoieang 9y ago
      I'm sure Evernote could do this. I've been using two different kinds of apps for this: - Offline-reading apps for stuff I want to read - (Tech) support ticket apps for stuff I (might) want to do I'm currently using Pocket for the first kind. Before that I was using Instapaper. For the second kind I'm using GitLab but I've still got a lot of old content in FogBugz that's not yet migrated. Neither saves or indexes the contents of links tho so I manually include text about what it is I wanted to do or sometimes just specific text I'd expect future-me to use to find the stuff. The main reason I use GitLab for stuff related to something I might want to do is that I use it for all of my other 'project' content too so it's nice to have everything of that nature in one place.
nels 9y ago
Have you considered saving files (such as fonts and JS libs) loaded through major CDNs centrally just once instead of storing it again each time a page is saved? Maybe you already have plans for this, but it would be smart to implement a system that checks whether files are already present on your server so you don't waste any of your user's quota and the server's disk space.
- ernsheong 9y ago
  Thanks for the comment! That would be ideal and it has crossed my mind but I have given little thought on how to do de-duplication right (premature optimization from a maker's perspective). Right now each page and its assets sit within it's own "bucket". But yes page assets and all these dependencies can really add up fast.
adityar 9y ago
Signed up - saved my first page - and viewed my dash within 5 mins. Good stuff. Now, all you need is not to go out of business (or open source before you do). Seriously though, good luck on the business side.
- ernsheong 9y ago
  Thank you. You're right, hopefully business side holds up. I'll keep it up as long as someone is paying me :)
vitovito 9y ago
Please consider producing archives in WARC format, and either donating captures of public pages to the Internet Archive (and other interested archives), or supporting ways for users to download their own archives in that format for them to donate them themselves and use in systems like Webrecorder. (Note that a download of just page content and assets isn't enough; WARC stores headers, etc., also.)
- ernsheong 9y ago
  Thanks for the comment. Admittedly I bypassed WARC completely as I felt overwhelmed by its technicalities in favor of how I knew the web worked. If I have a better understanding of WARC maybe that can be done, but I make no promises.
  - bravura 9y ago
    I'm not sure why this is getting downvoted. WARC tooling is pretty terrible. I hack data and text for a living and working with WARC was extremely difficult compared to the simplicity of what I was trying to do. Something that would have taken me five minutes (extract body text) took me about 60 - 90 minutes because the first few libraries I tried didn't work easily.
    - toomuchtodo 9y ago
      Both wget and it’s python spiritual successor wpull support WARC creation natively.
    - gooseus 9y ago
      I don't think it's getting downvoted because WARC is actually easy, I think it's because the creator says they can't be bothered to figure out the web archiving standard before asking people to start giving them money for their web archiving product. The fact that WARC tooling is terrible is the opportunity this person should be leveraging to create value, imo.

pwenzel 9y ago
After signing in, my initial reaction is that I wish I didn't have to use a browser extension to save a page. It would be handy if I could just enter a URL and have it saved, a la Pinboard or Instapaper. That said, this worked very well on my first try.
- ernsheong 9y ago
  Thanks for the comment! Maybe I will make that possible in the future, but for now the advantage of this is that you can save logged-in content, i.e. content that you see when you're logged in. Passing the URL to backend prevents that as the backend is not authenticated, or even worse blocked.
CabSauce 9y ago
I really like the idea of this and other, similar products/services. I haven't used any of them since they don't seem to be exactly what I want. What I really want is auto tagging and classification + semantic search. I don't even really want to have to save the page. I want this functionality on my browsing history. Maybe some increased functionality for saving specific types of pages. If I save a recipe, I want the service to recognize that it's a recipe and put it in my 'cookbook'. With a consistent format, if possible. If I save a blog post, tag the topic, technology and language used.
- ernsheong 9y ago
  I really want auto-tagging via ML classification as well, it's one of the things I wanted other than one-click save when I started the project. That's a really nice to have at the moment and can only be achieved once PageDash matures more. Right now the closest antidote I can offer for your use is to configure a keyboard shortcut to do the extension saving via chrome://extensions > Keyboard shortcuts (bottom) for quick saving.
  - CabSauce 9y ago
    Yeah, I realized after I posted that this is a good first step to that goal; a way to gather a bunch of user search and tagging. Thanks for sharing.

- ernsheong 9y ago
  Unless you are on Pinboard's archiving plan, Pinboard mostly manages just your bookmarks. PageDash doesn't claim to be a bookmark manager, but it really can be one. Bookmark the page, along with the content.

Which media files are stored? I assume images yes, videos no?
- ernsheong 9y ago
  Images yes, but videos not yet.

Anything FOSS in this sphere? I'm slowly going towards building my solution to automatically archive my Firefox bookmarks locally, but a bit too slowly.

ff7c11 9y ago
So this works until your cloud site dies. No thanks.
- ernsheong 9y ago
  There are a few ways I can go mitigating this. 1) One of them is to provide PageDash with API access to your s3/gcp bucket so that it syncs your pages out to your bucket. 2) Providing an open-source viewer to view files saved within your bucket. It's just like serving a website, really, no more processing needed.
teddyh 9y ago
Why must everything be a cloud service? I use ScrapBook (http://www.xuldev.org/scrapbook/ http://www.xuldev.org/scrapbook/) to save web pages locally.
- wongarsu 9y ago
  Because without a cloud service you can't get people to pay $3-$9/month for something like this.
ernsheong 9y ago
I should point out that PageDash also tries to handle saving nested pages and iframes, I'm not sure it's something that other archivers try to do. Also Web Components (custom elements, shadow DOM) support is definitely do-able and something for the pipeline. It's not something even the Internet Archive is capable of right now. Wayback Machine's youtube.com archive is blank.
