I'm working on promnesia, a browser extension to enhance web browser history.
It allows you to answer different questions about the current web page:
- have I been here before? When?
- why have I bookmarked it?
- how did I get on it? Which page has led to it?
- who sent me this link? Can I just jump to the message?
- which links on this page have I already explored?
- which posts from this blog page have I already read?

- abhishekjha 7y agoI had this exact same idea and built a very simple tool that lets me input three values: link, difficulty/rating and addendum. The uniqueness is based on url and I do keep a count of if I have been there before. I update the timestamp to last visited. I built a simple UI for that as well though looking at your project it seems much more exciting to have the full visiting history as well.
- carapace 7y agoA timeline?
- moriturius 7y agoWhy do you need this information? What's the use case?
- karlicoss 7y agoVaguely -- being better at 'information processing'. If you think about a typical person's browser bookmarks -- it's a mess with no hope of ever catching up, prioritizing and sorting. My project could help with that :)
- szemy2 7y agoI love this idea and I would def use it! It would be also great if it would work backwards aswell, eg.: "the link I found on twitter last week"
- karlicoss 7y agoYep, that would be fairly straighforward to support as well!
