Not the original poster, but still not clear to me.

Say I mark a page that contains really usable information. For some reason, 2 months later that page goes offline because the domain was not renewed (or whatever). Some time after that happened, I need that information. Will I still be able to see the original content, or not?

Similar thing, I mark a page. The author updates the url with different content 2 months later. Some time after that happened, I need that information. Will I still be able to see the original content, or will I just find the new updated content?

I guess the question is: is a snapshot taken from the actual content at the time I mark it as interesting and can that snapshot be shown, or not?

View on HN

Snapshot is taken from the actual content at that point in time. We haven’t enabled a reader format just yet where you could view the original text. Right now, clicking the card in the dashboard will redirect you to the URL.

If you were to chat with the article from the dashboard, it would be preserving the snapshotted content and leverage that information in the final answer (same with using the search functionality).

Clear, thanks!

I did not test it yet, but it looks like something that would be very useful for me. So, I will definitely try it.

I will add that me too, I have some concerns regarding the data being "locked" in your service, but I read in other comments that at some point it will be possible to create an export of some sort. When using this to carefully craft a knowledge base during months, it would be very painful if that is all lost when stopping the service for whatever reason.

As others asked, I would appreciate an Android/iOS app to register new content when reading something on the phone.

Regarding the pricing, it mentions a fixed price per month, but is there any limit on the amount of data that is uploaded (for example when uploading PDFs) ? Is there any limit on the amount of content in the knowledge base?

Appreciate that and yes in the absolute worst case, you can email us and we can manually export your data on your behalf.

We are using a fixed price today and have no restriction on storage. This might change in the future if costs scale, though it’s not an immediate priority and we’d be sure to communicate those changes well in advance.

Once you’re onboarded, feel free to message us with the in app support widget. It’s a direct line to the team slack and we tend to respond almost immediately

I am trying to create an account (using a gmail address as email address), but I do not receive a code through email. I already tried multiple times. Any idea what is going on?

Sorry about that, this happens sparingly with our auth provider.

It might take a couple of minutes. Would recommend checking spam or trying again in a bit
