Ideas: Behavior keywords, tracking who sent the link...

Open zehfernandes opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

Hey Guys,

Just add some future ideas for the project. I describe and mockup them in this text: http://zehfernandes.com/bookmark-is-dead/

Articles that I Read last week

  • articles = pages with large text content
  • read = spent more than 3 minutes on the page

Links Murilo sent to me

  • links = any URL
  • sent by = sourced by email or chats

links that I found about bathroom

  • found = source by many clicks
  • about = the content has this subject

Good ideas, but there are some technical challenges to this though. How would the browser know who sent you the link? Tracking referrers might be a possibility, but "who" is often an abstract concept, as the origin may come from many places (text message, email, chat, encrypted email).

I think a simpler model would be to allow additional manual tagging of websites -- you add some tags to what you've browsed, and that tag could be "from Mike", "bathroom", etc. essentially making your queries work. Tracking history is definitely an option.

@zehfernandes @niieani

Great ideas indeed :)

This is where we want to head with the WorldBrain project, as you can see in our vision video.

@oliviersauter is WorldBrain somehow related to Falcon, or is it a brand new project from scratch?

Hey @niieani No its a brand new project. We just took the Falcon code as a baseline to develop into a decentralised search engine for a user's personal knowledge. More on that you can see in our 2 minute intro video. (Its a different video as the vision video)
