Comment on Hister: a private search engine

Oh damn this could replace the bookmakers. I have Linkding with the Linkding Injector extension, but this would be next level.
You can view the saved text too, nice. Would it be possible to attach an HTML file from like single file for sites that have heavy image content as part of the “view” button? That’d completely replace Linkding/Karakeep/Linkwarden use cases for me
Understandable if not, that’s ancillary to the text search focus

The inspiration for Hister was a bookmarking app, but I realized that I always forget to manually trigger the bookmarking and I miss so many great resources.
Currently you can import SingleFile HTMLs using the
hister import filecommand, but no further integrations are implemented yet. Although, rendering the exact SinglePage file as a preview can be added relatively quickly. It would be also nice to accept files directly from the SingleFile extension.Thanks for the good suggestion, I’ve added it to my TODO! =]

I have tons of webpages saved using the Firefox built-in page saver, which saves and html file and a corresponding folder for the other resources (images, javascript). Would be cool if these could be imported as well. Though maybe the resource folder can be ignored and the html file can already be imported?

It depends. Hister always requires a unique URL for each document. SingleFile snapshots include the original URL of the document as a meta HTML element. I’m not sure if the built-in page saver provides URL information.
