The exception is Safari, which lives at ~/Library/Safari and requires Full Disk Access, granted via System Preferences, in order to be read.
- Show the date range from the earliest bookmark to the latest
- Let me open the downloaded content for a URL instead of redirecting me to the current online version.
I'm also wondering if the downloaded "extract" is somewhat complete. For example, reader mode doesn't really work on HN or Reddit, but the individual comments could be what I'm looking for. Anyways, I'm keeping an eye on this tool. Not sure if it really fits into my workflow, but maybe it will :)
It should indeed work for HN posts (this was something we specifically wanted). For example, here's this thread at the time of indexing: https://pastebin.com/shx8miZk
You can also access all this yourself within the datasource_browsing_history_fts table of ~/.config/persistory/persistory.db (so named for legacy reasons...)
Regarding the point about accessing the content directly, this is something we're considering. In our testing there's a bit of tension between ideal text for searching (limited formatting) and ideal text for rendering (probably markdown). However, having the local db serve as your own personal archive.org is one of our secondary goals.
Edit: added a bit more context
We do keep a fairly complete copy of the URL’s contents in the db, though we don’t currently preserve all the html or store embedded content such as images, so some formatting may be lost. Adding a method to view the stored version from the GUI is definitely on the todo list though, we want that feature too!
Being flexible and able to fit into a lot of workflows is high priority for us, if you have more thoughts on how it could more easily fit into your workflow please feel free to let us know here or on the discord
