I was trying to build something similar based on Firefox sync, but it took quite a while to get a client working, and I never got back to it. (I found some bugs in their documentation along the way and helped them fix that, so that's good?)
Maybe I should pick it up again. My intent was that it'd run on a server and be your own personal search engine covering activity on all devices.
- NoGravitas 7y agoI would be interested in helping you on this, if it's in a language I'm familiar with. Having it integrate with Firefox sync solves the problem of not being on any one device enough to make it your full history.
- jimktrains2 7y agoIt's in python3 https://github.com/jimktrains/ffsyncsearch https://github.com/jimktrains/ffsyncsearch I just pushed some of my last changes and it'll grab and decrypt all of the collections stored. Like I said, I hadn't got it to a point where I saved and indexed everything, but my intent was to start with postgresql's full text search and go from there. I also wouldn't mind some help cleaning up the code some as it is more proof-of-concept right now.
- NoGravitas 7y agoThanks. I don't have a ton of time to work on it, but I've cloned it and will look at it.
