Wouldn't storing each and every visited page's text bloat IndexedDB a lot?
ApbNfMR · 4 months ago
I don’t store full copies of all html text, only those containing readable articles. I’m researching how to align the index with the browser’s own history retention period,will be release soon.

For my personal use, it’s primarily about: Retrieving sources I’ve briefly glanced at & Summarizing recent readings on specific topics.

I’m still unsure whether to position this system for long-term archival purposes.If so, I might consider integrating storage solutions like WebDAV as an optional.

Oh, cool. I want this but not quite badly enough to work all the corner cases out. Were you able to figure out how to sync pages visited on mobile?

What’s your intended synchronization effect? Browsing on your phone and later retrieving that history on your PC? Or ensuring a fully consistent experience across both devices? The latter could be a challenge for the current local storage structure.
