Description from store
Promnesia is a browser extension (Chrome/Firefox/Firefox mobile) which provides a sidebar which complements browser history with some enhanced features.
TLDR: it lets you explore your browsing history in context: where you encountered it, in chat, on Twitter, on Reddit, or just in one of the text files on your computer.
This is unlike most modern browsers, where you can only see when you visited the link.
It allows you to answer different questions about the current web page:
- have I been here before? When?
- why have I bookmarked it?
- how did I get on it? Which page has led to it?
- who sent me this link? Can I just jump to the message?
- which links on this page have I already explored?
- which posts from this blog page have I already read?
*NOTE*: to get the most benefits from the extension, you also need to set up a supplementary service. You can find the instructions here: https://github.com/karlicoss/promnesia#setup

- (2020-11-13, v:0.11.14) Fred First: Waiting for a non-tech user friendly version--someday?
Saw Promnesia first in Roam Slack two days ago, immediately resonated, read your "white paper" explanation for why it is needed and what it can do; installed the extension with great anticipation, to discover that the tech machinations to empower the tool go beyond my current skill-set (age 72 and ahead of most of my age-cohorts but depending on fellow Roam-ers for help.) So I just wanted to wish you the wind at your back on this project, and will hope some day to take advantage of Promnesia's full power. Saving every interesting link to Roam is making a bit of a mess to clean up later. There must be a better way, and I'm getting close to implementing it, but not quite there yet. -- Fred / Virginia USA
