Tonight at 6-9pm CET we are doing a live demo party & AMA
We demo rundown of all features and you can ask questions on everything around Memex or our business/investment model.
Drop by in our Zoom Call or with Youtube Live (TBA): https://us02web.zoom.us/j/832597...
Wow! This is a powerful tool. This is the first one I actually want to try in years.
Currently "bookmarking" links and interesting thoughts in Evernote. Evernote has a very decent search across all the notes I have ever taken. But it's a struggle to save the info there on the phone, so I usually send interesting links to the browser on the computer via Pushbullet, read them in the evening and if they are truly worth saving then save to Evernote.
For me it's interesting about Memex is that the data is stored locally, but I can share it between devices (securely) and I could export it whenever I want. Owning my data as a user is important for me. This is actually why I like Evernote, is that I know I can access all the notes offline and export them at any time.
Being able to annotate information on the web adds another layer for context.
I didn't find it myself - can I "follow" or allow someone to "subscribe" to my notes, so we could share the gathered information with each other?
This service is brilliant but it is a shame that you have to pay to share your account with other devices.
This is the greatest bookmarking app I have ever used.
In the past, I've used bookmarking apps such as Instapaper and Pocket both possessed their unique and beneficial characteristics and functions. However, when I found Memex it changed everything, it has functions identical to Instapaper and Pocket but with vast superiority. For me, I like to find links and save them in an organised manner but I found that challenging, I could never find an app that could organise efficiently.
Of course, Pocket and Instapaper have tags but Memex stands out because it gives you the ability to organise links in folders and tags. Other apps simply did not possess that and organising links with only tags is a challenge and finding the link I need is paramount and I have always struggled with that until Memex.
Not only that Memex has its own unique features such as the ability to highlight, comment and save notes on websites while saving them in a system of folders and tags!
I highly recommend Memex if you are a student or researcher or similar.
@oliversauter Looks like I was redirected to another site after signing up for the mailing list. I ended up here https://www.worldbrain.io/cgi-sy...
@oliversauter The return to our website button after subscribing to the mailing list which I found in the footer of the website :)
Wow this is such a nice way to wake up! You're developing in an impressive way and there's so much potential to this and the core engine Storex 😍 I'm so glad you're keeping up the great work. 🚀
Really great product. I currently use Weava, what would be some reasons to switch ?
@tafkaf Unfortunately this is more complicated/impossible. Safari does not support the APIs Memex needs to work properly. It's one of the few browsers that does not support the Web Extension API standard. It would require us to rebuild Memex in a completely different way, which we don't have the resources for :(
@oliversauter thanks for the answer. I already guessed it was a restriction by the safari extension system.
@oliversauter wow! congrats for this one. I have been following this product since early 2017 and am really amaze to see how far this has come. Really excited to use this one :)
impressive update, well done! love the privacy focused features and especially the firefox ext
