24 alternatives to Unsearch, an open source alternative to Google Chrome Sync
I use several browsers between college, work and home and I like to have them synced so I can find websites I've searched for in a browser when I don't have access to it or access my bookmarks. I don't like the idea of using any of the sync services offered by the major browsers because of how they might use my data, because they lack some features I'd like to have, and because they all try to lock you into their ecosystem. So I'm building an open source cross-browser manager for browsing activity. I would love to hear your thoughts on this concept, and if you have any questions or…

Hello HN, I’ve built Unsearch, a tool that helps you manage your browsing data across different browsers in one place. Some of the main features: - Sync bookmarks, tabs, and search history from any browser - Manage, edit, and delete bookmarks and history in the web app (even offline) - Copy bookmarks between different browsers - Download your data whenever you want - Advanced search with exact, fuzzy, and semantic options It’s fully open-source and currently in alpha, so feel free to check it out. Looking forward to your feedback!

I created this chrome extension for myself where I track my own behavior locally and recommend myself content from platforms I want content from (youtube/twitter/quora/etc) in a feed. I made it public just in case anyone else was interested. I would rather have control over my own algorithm and own the data. Also, it gives me flexibility. Turns out I do like these feeds just not when I don't own it haha. Let me know what you think of my implementation?

TabDog▲102Hey everyone! I have a bad habit that I always end up with dozens of browser tabs and apps open at the same time. It gets so messy that finding one specific website becomes a nightmare. So I developed a extension + macOS menu bar app for myself and after using it for a while, I found it is much more better than I expected, so I decided to package it and release it as open source, completely free! I'd love to hear your feedback and looking forward to improve our app together!

Tag my Tab▲128Hello Again HN ! My name is Tafita, and I'm back with my second launch: Tag my Tab The indie hacker journey hasn't gotten easier (spoiler: the imposter syndrome is real), but seeing people actually use something I built? That feeling never gets old. Meet Tag my Tab – Never Lose a Tab Again So here's the thing: while building and marketing my other products, I found myself drowning in browser tabs. Research articles, competitor analyses, design inspiration, documentation, customer feedback. I'd have 30+ tabs open, my browser grinding all my RAM and I was living in constant fear of that…

Hi HN, For the last 18 months, I've been working solo on building a completely independent search engine from scratch. Today, I'm opening it up for beta testing and would love to get your feedback. The project powers two public sites from the same 2-billion-page index: Searcha.Page: A session-aware search engine that uses a persistent browser key (not a cookie) for better context. Seek.Ninja: A 100% stateless, privacy-first version with no identifiers at all. The entire stack is self-hosted on a single ~$4k bare-metal EPYC server in my laundry room (no cloud, no VC funding). The search…

I got tired of collecting open source projects in my chrome bookmarks so I decided to compile a curated list of: - Recently active projects on GitHub - Mostly dev tools (but also productivity, analytics) - Projects which are "Alternative to X software" My bookmarks are finally empty:D If you have a great open source tool you use, I'd be glad to hear your suggestions. Also, any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hello HN! Beginner dev here; read several articles about the challenges faced by users with disabilities (and the impact on businesses). Thought to build a chrome extension to enhance web experience for users with disabilities, after realizing that current solutions focus on auditing web for accessibility. Current features published on Chrome store: Text Magnification | High contrast | Alt text | TTS. Working on (but not published yet) tooltip to explain each feature, additional language support. Will appreciate feedback, collaborations and suggestions of things to improve. GitHub Repo:…

Hey everyone, I'm a young developer with a penchant for music and quality software. I have spent the last 16 months developing an open-source Google Chrome extension which attempts to simplify the experience of using YouTube to play music. Streamus: http://streamus.com/ Streamus currently has 14,000 users and is the #1 trending / #4 ranked 'fun' extension in the web store. I've built it entirely from scratch while teaching myself the basics of BackboneJS (and Backbone.Marionette), RequireJS, GruntJS and many other, smaller libraries. It has been a great learning…

My partner and I are avid users of Delicious/Pinboard and wanted a quick way to add to and access our stored bookmarks. We created a Chrome extension to scratch that itch. It shows your ten most-recent bookmarks by default, with a fast search interface to find older bookmarks, and keyboard shortcuts for navigation. We plan to add pagination in an upcoming release, and have considered adding support for Safari as well as alternate bookmarking backends. The (mostly CoffeeScript) source is up on GitHub, and may be interesting as an example of caching Backbone Collections in localStorage or…
