Just started to hack on a bookmark (so 90s!) app (tell me more!) I had in mind for quite a while now. While bookmarking a page, it also caches it client side, so even if you're offline, you can view the bookmarked page as you were online.
The first evening was about getting the data from a x-origin page to the localStorage for the app's domain and serve it with HTML5 appcache. Got that. Now it's basically about encoding/decoding and putting back together the original page.
When this idea came to me, I build a self caching website to research it: https://github.com/mustardamus/self-caching-offline-website https://github.com/mustardamus/self-caching-offline-website

What do you think?
- alexzender 14y agoThe bookmarking idea indeed isn't new but still hasn't been solved fully yet. Delicious is not that great anymore and others try to gain the ground. What will be your value proposition?

- mustardamus 14y agoGood question. I haven't done any research because I am curious about the technology and not to interrupt the market. But one thing I already noticed is that you don't need to register with my app since everything is done client-side (no plans about server persistence yet). And, well, the caching of bookmarked sites. That also happens completely without a backend server.
