Discussion on: Ideas about preserving history of "fixes" to problems you've encountered?

That sounds like a perfect tool. Some spin on something like this?

I'm hijacking the "name" field in Chrome bookmarks to add tags so they come up easily in search. Like "Some title (tag tag tag)".

But I also use the Notes app on my Mac. I guess I use the Notes app when they're fixes I resolve on my own (and therefore my own writeup/explanation) because there aren't external url references. So my fixes are scattered in two places, Notes and Chrome bookmarks.

Yeah, it would be like that. I'd see it as a browser extension with a "send-to-my-index" button of sorts which would then archive it locally and index for full-text search.

I think the key is it has to be easy to use and work like Mac launcher or Alfred, etc. Or else I might never end up using it.

I'd be surprised if something like this doesn't exist. I'll send some more eyeballs to this thread at some point so we can get to the bottom of this.

In fact I developed it as a sideproject.

It does full text indexing, there are chrome/firefox extensions and there are a simple fabebook and twitter autoimport integrations, but it's not local, it's an online service.

Nowadays only few coworkers and me are using it, if you're interested i can send you and invite for registration.
