It's interesting they chose to include memex in their title. It reminds me a lot of the same lofty goal Ted Nelson had with Project Xanadu. The sense is if you choose a name referencing an unimplemented project, it sort of becomes a bad omen. That's what I think of here. I have no doubt this project will succeed, but how long will it last?
File that under "what's in a name" For me personally I actually did create a TW5 where I was in the habit of downloading all of my Pinboard bookmarks as markdown files, but this required too much hand massaging to work through trying to extract article content and images. But since I pay for the packrat feature of Pinboard, if the original link goes down I can always view an archived version or or from the Internet Archive. I use this TW5 as sort of an index for various short videos and podcasts I've downloaded and keep in a B2 bucket. Although I would say my workflows surrounding this are not as optimized as they could be. Would like to see if anyone else has created any other similar TW for keeping an offline index for bookmarks and media content - Mark On Tuesday, May 19, 2020 at 8:27:42 AM UTC-7, Diego Mesa wrote: > > Just came across this tool on Hacker News today, and found the tools > capabilities and users comments interesting > > Article: > https://getmemex.com/ > > HN Comments: > https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23227186 > > Some of you might also be interested > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
