I absolutely love historious. I've using it for about a month now and I can't imagine life without it.
I like the fact that you don't need to sign in with the bookmarklet (contrasted with instapaper).
The incredibly clean interface is another draw for me. A lot of these other sites are all "web 2.0"ish and to me it's bothersome.
I don't really like the chromium extension. I dunno, I think it's kinda useless seeing as though it's off to the side, whereas the bookmarklet is right on top of what I'm viewing. Also I like the notification window of the bookmarklet better than the extension. The window when a "page has already been indexed" on the extension is a bit annoying.
I'd like to see maybe a keyboard shortcut for the extension, I think that would make it killer.
A couple things that I would like would be to search through a time range, also better browser integration would be nice. i.e. having pages show up under the autocomplete. The ability to select multiple items would be nice. Having a text only view (a la instapaper, readability). Also I wish there was a shorter url, I always spell historious wrong.
thanks!
- StavrosK 16y agoThank you very much for your feedback, it really is the best part of the day when a user tells you they like the service! It's perfectly fine if you prefer the bookmarklet over the extension, as we spent more time working on it (it affects more users)! We absolutely want to add a shortcut, but don't know how to do it in Chrome yet (some research is in order). You can already search for time ranges (the syntax is a bit weird, though), it's "added:[2010-07-01T00:00:00Z TO 2010-08-01T00:00:00Z]", for example. We are also planning to support better autocompletion, as well as bulk edits/deletions. I have never seen the text-only view, but it sounds like a good idea, I'll take a look now! As for the URLs, we also have historius.com and historious.net. Unfortunately we don't have historious.com for symmetry :/ Thanks again!
