Except search. I want search. Going to try this project.
- MomsAVoxell 16d agoYeah, about search: $ pdfgrep -r -i -n -H "your mom" ~/PDFArchives/ Very effective, very fast, very private. Bonus points if the PDF filename itself is derived from a well formulated <title> tag, such that you can just use “ls” ..
- nottorp 15d agoYes, but that's a solution for the stuff you consciously save. While this is a solution for stuff you see but decide it was interesting weeks after you closed that tab and you only have a vague memory of what it was about.
- MomsAVoxell 14d agoWell, I consciously save anything I’ve been interested in for at least 2 minutes, it’s a perfectly good way to filter interests - and the PDF solution safeguards those interests from being exploited by third parties.
- krackers 16d agoYou could combine it with existing products like DevonThink that are meant for researchers organizing documents and provide tagging, semantic search, similarity graphs, and so on.
