Ask HN: Tool for gathering quotes for use in non-specified future context
is there such a thing out there? i'm thinking of a bookmarklet type thing where if I'm reading a speech, it automatically grabs the <quote> tags and perhaps some usr tag functionality. in future, i'm writing an article and need that killer quote by the president but #@$!@ if i remember when it was or what speech it was in. kind of like a super-focused delicious with single use-case in mind.
- gw666 15y agoI've been working on systems for storing and retrieving arbitrary text "chunks" of information (with metadata) for some time now; see http://www.InfoML.org/ http://www.InfoML.org/ for the main idea, and http://sourceforge.net/projects/infocardorgnizr/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/infocardorgnizr/ for a working Java program for idea capture (not connected to a browser, but I've been thinking in that direction for a while). I've got software using a notecard-and-desktop metaphor working, though nowhere near ready for outside users. I know this is somewhat distant from what you're proposing, but I thought you might find it of interest. Please feel free to get in touch.
