Is there a TTL / max database size per user setting?

As I wrote, you can simply automate deletion by document age. Schedule a delete event on each day with the desired retention time defined as a filter expression. Database size limit isn’t available yet.

Additionally, is the other parenthetical information materially correct? If not, which points [1 thru to 7] are wrong?

No, sorry, I don’t have time to correct a copy of a multiple screens long AI prompt.

I would like to further recommend Hister but your documentation is somewhat confusing at first blush.

Which parts are confusing?

The summary has numerous inaccuracies. Most importantly: it is pretty easy to delete content by topic or age. The hister delete command can accept a search query to remove only matched documents. The same is true on the web UI “actions -> remove all matching documents”. You can quickly filter by age, simply query updated:>365d. Combine it with URLs, labels, domains or phrases.

Though maybe the resource folder can be ignored and the html file can already be imported?

It depends. Hister always requires a unique URL for each document. SingleFile snapshots include the original URL of the document as a meta HTML element. I’m not sure if the built-in page saver provides URL information.

I’d appreciate it, thanks. No special requirements. Providing sensible defaults and explaining usage/potential customization options would be great.

Exactly, the echo chamber phenomenon is mostly problematic for “discovery type” searches while Hister is mainly for “recall type” search.

Implementing federated search/index sharing could be a partial solution to this issue in the long run.

Oh damn this could replace the bookmakers.

The inspiration for Hister was a bookmarking app, but I realized that I always forget to manually trigger the bookmarking and I miss so many great resources.

Would it be possible to attach an HTML file from like single file

Currently you can import SingleFile HTMLs using the hister import file command, but no further integrations are implemented yet. Although, rendering the exact SinglePage file as a preview can be added relatively quickly. It would be also nice to accept files directly from the SingleFile extension.

Thanks for the good suggestion, I’ve added it to my TODO! =]

Federated search is the direction I’d like to go when the core is mature enough.

I’m still trying to figure out the best approach to make the federation secure (no accidental private/confidential data leak) and easy to use. Related conversations: https://github.com/asciimoo/hister/discussions/432 & https://github.com/asciimoo/hister/issues/387 . I’d appreciate help to figure out an optimal solution.

Thanks for letting me know. I’ve updated the post.
