The name is coming from "HISTory on STERoids". When I checked the name, I found only a beetle and part of the Danube called "Hister".

The extracted content is stored and displayed as HTML, so converting it to markdown doesn't guarantee lossless transformation. But, the other direction works well: Hister can live track and import markdown files providing full text sea

You can create multiple users for different use-cases. Also, it is possible to automatically assign labels to documents coming from different sources and use these labels to filter results. E.g. using multiple browser profiles where differe

The whole design is created by a main contributor and IIRC the style is called neobrutalism.

It depends on what you consider intense browsing. An indexed document uses about 100KB on average because Hister stores the full original HTML for offline previews. If storage is a concern, you can disable offline previews, reducing the ave

Doh, sorry, the answer was coming from me who did not read the question properly. It currently cannot import browser bookmarks, but it is a good idea. Added to my TODO.

You can host Hister on a home server and access it from multiple devices. Automatic page capture on mobile currently requires Firefox, since mobile Chrome does not support browser extensions.

Wow, this is a really inspiring use case and blog post. Thanks for sharing it. What tools or features would Hister need to support your complete search workflow?

by asciimoo 25d ago
That is a great combo. My main friction with it is having to manually capture pages I want to keep.

The default configuration binds only to localhost, and a fresh installation starts with an empty database/index. Could you clarify which specific attack surface you are concerned about in that scenario?

Safari support is currently stalled in this PR: https://github.com/asciimoo/hister/pull/46 . I do not have access to macOS, so help with development and testing would be very welcome.

What do you mean by integration? Hister already supports importing data from Karakeep, Linkding, Linkwarden, Readeck, Shaarli, and wallabag: https://hister.org/docs/import

Ohi, author here! Thanks for posting Hister. Feel free to A.M.A. My first free software search project was Searx, a privacy respecting metasearch engine, but because of the limitations of the metasearch concept, I've decided to take a

Oh, you mean the bookmark import? You can specify the Hister server with the -u/--server-url flags from the command line. Check hister --help for more details

You can configure the server URL for the extension by clicking on the cogwheel icon on the extension popup or by visiting the extension's settings page. Servers/VMs are fully supported even with user handling.

Keep up the good work. If you allow a suggestion: implement an xpath or css selector engine (check searx as a reference), so you can quickly integrate quite a few search engines directly from the default searx config.

I like the idea. Could you share your RepoSearch app? Also, we have Discord & IRC channels, please join and start brainstorming.

I agree with you, but Bun was still something of a flagship project for Zig. It received a lot of attention, which indirectly helped Zig's popularity.
