Introduction

Collecting HTML files to build a knowledge base.

Sources

Third-Party Sources

These are all third party services that we want integrations for. We want to bring data from each of these sources into our main feed, so that:

we can apply filters to these feeds and take actions on the posts
we can consume these feeds in a common way
if we save the same article in reddit and hacker new, we dont want it to come up twice

Firefox bookmarks

Firefox is a cross-device browser and has sync built in. For most use cases we are interested in, we either have firefox open (on desktop) or handy via share menu (mobile).

We can hook into Firefox sync and retrive our bookmarks.

Web Extension: Singlefile

This extension saves the current page as a single HTML file, with assets already packed in. HTML files are a commonly accepted standard, and additionally, some bookmarks are from sites we are logged into. By downloading the assets and the page as it’s currently rendered, we can save content that would otherwise be hidden behind authentication.
