A browser environment designed for researching is something I've been investigating lately. I want to stay with Chromium for convenience (Chrome for work, ungoogled-chromium for personal). Right now I see two paths that might work for me: - A standalone browser that I use only for research purposes. Currently evaluating Bonsai [1] and am interested in Synth. - A suite of tools that makes bookmarking and organizing easier when used alongside Chrome. Currently, I pay for Raindrop [2] to manage bookmarks, most likely will pay for Slapdash [3] for indexing, and am evaluating Heyday [4]. For an end-user like me, I would much rather pay for an extension+SaaS for Chrome or Firefox, rather than deal with workarounds for browser incompatibility.

Awesome. To keep focus on the main topic, feel free to email me to chat more (FWIW I've done the 50 extension patchwork thing and generally find the extension experience to fractured and suboptimal for me).

  What makes your discord server unique among the thousands of other knowledge-management organizations out there?

    Nothing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Although you say "organization"... this isn't centered around a particular tool or anything. I made it in response to a post about Promnesia on "Who wants to collaborate" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29764928 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29764928
