I'm building Total Recall (https://github.com/erezsh/TotalRecall/ https://github.com/erezsh/TotalRecall/), a keyboard-first browser extension for bookmarks that's fast and useful. It lets you search through your bookmarks using a local full-text search, with support for tags and extra notes. I'm doing it in my spare time, which is scarce, so I'd love another pair of hands to help me make it super duper great. (it's already great but it's just normal great). Ideally someone with some experience making extensions, but really anyone who's willing to put in the time and take it seriously, even if only for an hour a week. Let me know if you're interested!

This looks great! I'll give the extension a try. I have been dying to find a reasonable bookmarking tool, but everything I've tried doesn't stick in my habit pattern. What are the types of improvements that you are looking to add?

  Thanks! I'm planning to make a short youtube video that shows how to use it. The user interface is open-ended, which I consider a strength, but it means not all the uses are immediately obvious. Things I'm thinking of adding: - Allow to sync to dropbox/drive/etc. (currently sync is only to couchdbs) - Improve full-text search - "Save session" shortcut, to tag all open tabs in the window at once. (so you can later recall all the tabs at once by finding the tag) - Automatically extract meta keywords from a url to suggest tags. (that's already written, I just need to test it and smooth it) - Maybe save content of the page too? Maybe allow to also store pages that aren't bookmarked? (Currently I don't do it because it takes too much space and affects search speed) - Automatically publish your bookmarks to a webpage (with filtering the tags you want to display). Maybe even add a social element to it, a little like delicious was. I can probably think of more ideas. In most of my projects, I usually have more ideas than time :)
