Why can’t you easily search all of the text you read on any screen (desktop + mobile) over the past day? It’s strange how much obvious, low-hanging fruit of this form still exists.

I think there are some security concerns? Even if encrypted, it might retain secrets that have to be manually pruned, which is cumbersome.

If the data was only stored locally and retained for only N days, I'd be comfortable having it see everything. Lots of code executing on my laptop already gets to "see" everything.

I did this with accessibility APIs on Mac and Android. Gives you all text rendered in reasonably standard form.

Did you find it useful?

This has been built. Multiple times. RA (https://github.com/zzkt/remembrance-agent …) was an inspiration for Delicioua 15+ years ago. Browser extensions that index everything you read. So on and so on. Either indexing quality was too poor, or there is not enough signal.

Try
@worldbrain. Also, there has been little OS innovation since BeOS and OpenSolaris about 17 years ago. - 3 more replies

Maybe a good idea but hard to build a business around it.https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/18/atlas-informatics-calls-it-quits-after-less-than-a-year/ …

Yep, there is no business in it. Same as recommendation engine. You don’t own the data, people will not pay

Screen based might be nice but also risky as others said. Better system would be Siri being more aware of indexable data pipeline allowed by devs for more usability and intelligent workflows.

would "anything you read in your browser" be good enough?
