WorldBrains Memex Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Ask HN: Is there a tool / product that enables commenting on HTML elements?

  Yes. Only one solving the problem very very well right now. Memex - https://getmemex.com More generally the open annotations standard is meant to address this use case. Older, now obselete tools like hypothes.is, and peerlibrary* laid a lot of the groundwork. https://github.com/peerlibrary/peerlibrary. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Raindrop.io's Firefox extension was removed!

  Hmm.. Probably Wallabag, But I prefer MemeX because it has less trackers and works well for me. Source: about 2 years ago

• What are some good extensions and windows apps which can be helpful to the categorization of websites, bookmarked, and web apps in tile style layout?

  Check out Memex (https://getmemex.com/) or wallbag (https://www.wallabag.org/en). They're both free and open-source. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is Firefox Primary Password safe?

  If you're interested in saving bookmarks and such, I'd probably go off with something like Memex (https://getmemex.com/) or Floccus (https://floccus.org/). I haven't really used them but, I've looked a bit into them and they're free and open-source. Source: over 2 years ago

• Suggestions for a good PDF reader for Mac for use with Obsidian

  For pdf annotations on Windows I use Foxit reader, on Android acrobat reader. For highlighting web-content (pdfs, articles) I'm still looking for a good solution but will maybe stick to Memexor hypothesis. On iOS there's Command Browser (one time purchase) I already use and love for webcontent- and they have Android on their roadmap too.. If that's the case I know where I belong ;).

• Would you maintain a wiki and a zettelkasten as separate things?

  I would use something like https://getmemex.com/ for information you want to look up. Source: over 2 years ago

• Save reddit posts to obsidian?

  The Memex browser extension might be useful as you can highlight the information you find relevant while reading and you can comment on each highlight. This saves locally with the link and you can still see the highlights when you go back to the page. It has an option to copy the link and all your highlights in markdown which I use to transfer to Obsidian. Source: over 2 years ago
