Roam for daily writing (unpaid grandfather tier). Good for curated content, not good for serendipity. Wiki-style knowledge base in Notion (paid). The tool is good, but like all these things requires effort. I export some pages from Pocket into Devonthink Pro (paid). No real feature development and the UI is poorer than 4 years ago. No features for piling and grouping, or seeing an overview by day or week. Pinboard also paid – for the full-text archive.īut I have over 24000 unread Pocket articles, and it continues to grow. I export all archived Pocket links to Pinboard via IFTTT. Here’s an overview video of how it works: I’d pay for that in a heartbeat, and it doesn’t seem far off from what you’re already doing. So, if you could make your collections be a “self-maintaining, searchable, auto-hierarchy of snapshotted and annotated pages, able to be viewed through a slick, decluttered reader interface, integrated with existing Task and Reference Managers”, that would be absolutely killer.

This can be remedied by turning off the auto-saving feature in Memex, but then you have to manually save each window AND make AND maintain the hierarchies, which would be very slow. The goal is to have a searchable database of useful info, not everything you’ve ever seen - might as well just use Google for that. The manual effort is just dragging a few things around and then naming the folders.ĩ0+% of pages I visit are “trash” so I have no desire/need to clutter my hierarchy/database with them. The auto-hierarchies in Tabs Outliner actually closely resemble how I would organize them in Memex Collections, given that they follow my browsing/research patterns. It seems like Memex is aiming for a very similar thing (and much more), but I don’t see the auto-hierarchy feature as part of the plans yet - simply a general searchable, “offline personalized Google” database, with manually created hierarchies. I have thousands of tabs saved in a semi-organized hierarchy structure and am starting to clean it up now to better match my OneNote knowledge structure, from which my TickTick project planning/task management will spring as well.

I suppose its just a visual bookmark manager with hierarchies and folder names, but what I love is that it automatically creates the hierarchies from all tabs/pages that you open in each window (which are typically pretty logical and related given how they are created by my browsing/research patterns) and then discards pages as I close the tabs (deciding they aren’t worthwhile), and updates them as I drag tabs around to different windows/folders. Another “app” that I use is the chrome extension Tabs Outliner.
