  • Dont know if it’s illegitimate otherwise 😉

    But my user story is like this:

    I want to preserve and archive information I used because it’s a reflection of the things I did, learned and studied throughout life.

    Then my use case are:

    • Orientation about “events”: places to visit on daytrips or holidays (musea, nature, parks, campsites) and looking for practical information and background as well.
    • Gather a “dossier”: info to help make a decision (buying expensive things, how to do home improvement etc)
    • Building a personal knowledge database: interesting articles and blogs.

    My current workflow:

    • Browse
    • Bookmark extensively
    • Download pdf or other content (maps, routes, images) when provided.
    • Open bookmarks.
    • Fireshot every webpage to pdf and png
    • Save everything with a consequent filename (YYYYMMDD - Source - Title)

    I would like to automate the last 3 steps of my workflow.











  • As a #2 person, when my level-of-current-knowledge hits a ceiling and I ask for technical advice in forums or lemmy or even social media, it often comes from a #1 person.

    Assuming its specialized knowledge few other #2 have.

    Half the time I get an answer (about what and how) AND background explanation (giving context and WHY).

    But half the other time a #1 doesnt realize easy things for them are hard for me. When they are miles ahead their answer assumes I have a host of other skills already in place. But I dont know what I don’t know so I dont ask for them.

    But … every answer from a helpfull stranger is appreciated. Just bridging knowledge is hard.
