⭐ Memex

The backbone of my memex, providing data for other components.

Promnesia connects the web browser to the rest of your personal data.

My quantified self component to Memex.

Reflects my data for easier search, providing a plaintext interface.

whoa, this is awesome
he mentions the same problems I struggled with literally in the same words!

@thesephist: NEW PROJECT — I made a "personal search engine" that lets me search all my blogs, tweets, journals, notes, contacts, & more at once
It's called Monocle, and features a full text search system written in Ink

github https://github.com/thesephist/monocle
demo https://monocle.surge.sh/

• [2024-01-10] looks very nice – working demo, simple (in a good way) and instant search
  

• [2024-01-10] not sure, the gitlab seems down, they kinda pivoted into AI, and demo doesn't seem usable? (very slow)
  

This is a project I began to try to collate all the digital breadcrumbs of my life and show them in an easily viewable timeline.

• [2021-04-27] ok, interesting, but looks fairly basic, no UI yet and only contacts/location/hangouts/voice
  
• [2024-01-10] no updates for 3 years
  

ran into it from https://github.com/Heapy/Komodo-CRM/issues/72
some interesting notes on unified timeline-like view as well

• [2024-01-10] doesn't look like there is any actual code there?
  

ok, so it's more of a prototype at this point? and they are reinventing editor/annotation… not sure

• [2024-01-10] no updates for 3 years
  

This looks cool, but doesn't seem to work anymore?

As you type, every five seconds the prior 60 characters of your keyboard buffer are sent to the RA. Suggestions are presented as clickable buttons

Ok, this looks pretty cool.. maybe need to contact them and discuss

This maps pretty well to the triplestore architecture that stores triples of subject-predicate-object

This tool should: accept and parse the following queries:
 spacex announcement type:video 2016
 links from:jon@test.org topic:python
 paper on temperature, productivity referenced in book:Uninhabitable Earth
 type:pdf habits digital interfaces
 reading comprehension type:blog post
 printer ink receipt
 type:book read:2017 finance
 file:py datetime parse

I like the idea of converting a calendar into a diary / life log by integrating different data layers.
Other layers I'd like to add:
• Locations (Google Maps, Swarm)
• Media consumption (books, Netflix)
• Browser history / Screentime
• Stress levels (Oura, Apple Watch)

@aaronzlewis : concept: a Spotify calendar integration that lets you see what you were listening to alongside your old meetings and events. revisit the vibe of any moment with the Musical Time Machine

Life engine is a dashboard that attempts to collect information about your life and display relevant data on a single screen.

I’ve been dreaming of making a “semantic history” browser add-on for ages, but never started.
(As in something that would collect all the RDFa/microdata/microformats/JSON-LD/… objects on web pages you’ve seen, and give you an interface to browse not just pages, but these various objects like Organization, Person, Article, etc.    )

Viewer for Maps

hmm, wonder if it could replace gmaps?

I think I want to create some sort of community chat on the topic of knowledge management and tools around it, with the emphasis on interoperability, malleability, owning your data, local-first, org-mode etc.

• [2020-06-18] I think I want the focus on existing tools and setup rather than discussing mockups and vague concepts. both are important, but I want to build something now
  
• [2020-06-18] I want it to be a space to discuss configuration, and get detailed technical help etc. So needs to be more like an IM chat, with fine grained topics (so you can steer off a discussion without spamming everyone)
  

• [2024-01-10] started using Zulip for it
  

I used to use SQLite all the time for geospatial data using the SpatiaLite extensions, it made dealing with data in many different formats much easier (and scriptable) and just simplified a lot of the work we had to do to manage weird datasets on nationalmap.gov.au(/renewables - sadly recently made defunct due to lack of government funding).
We’d pretty regularly get CSVs with columns for LAT and LON, and need to do some actual work with the data, or turn it into another format like GeoJSON. Or we’d get a bunch of GeoJSON data that we wanted to manipulate.

maybe it could have some basic core (e.g. with couchdb), and then used in different apps?
e.g. promnesia uses it to jump and browse the history
dashboard uses to display all events
timeline – similarly for all life events

• [2021-02-22] to be fair I didn't really do much on it yet
  

Having stale data from manual exports is still useful, but adds a lot of mental friction ("is the export up-to-date enough to actually have what I need?").
Very good point! Just thought, perhaps some meta information about the 'recency' of the data could be included in the interface, that might remove some of the friction.

Exocore is a distributed applications framework with private and encrypted data storage.
Think of like an infrastructure that allows a user to own his own personal cloud that is extensible via WebAssembly applications and accessible via Web/Mobile SDKs.
It is designed to be resilient to failures, allow offline usage (ex: on mobile).

• [2024-01-10] some interesting concepts and potentian infra but not sure if there is a working prototype.. most updates are dependency bumping
  

nice 2d representation

@mekarpeles: Finally made a short 📽️ of https://t.co/glrT8wpAk2: Free + open source v. of @wikidata meets @RoamResearch (both which I 👍)
