I'm sorry for not taking the time to read the docs, but I have a question.

Some 20 years ago a friend of mine has set up a local proxy (python if I'm not mistaken) that was gathering all his web traffic and served him as a long term memory. The proxy had a web interface and allowed him to quickly find something he saw ca. 10 days ago, or that specific algorithm he recalls but can't remember it's name.

For years I've been collecting links to different work related trivia which I use on a daily basis as a rabbit-from-a-hat solution to answer random question from friends and coworkers. For example someone randomly asked me for an idea for color palette for data charts and I can immediately give them a scientific research into the color palette. Or an obscure algorithm.

But with time the collection has grown substantially and it's really cumbersome to find the proper things.

Would your project be a good fit for my problem?

Absolutely, this is a great example where Hister can shine.

I started Hister as a proxy as well, but quickly switched to the current extension based approach, because intercepting HTTPS traffic requires a MiTM proxy which is much more painful to setup than installing a browser extension.

Also very interested in this. I was playing around with doing the same thing with YaCY. I want the proxy aspect so that I can proxy my phone traffic through it as well.
