    When I was making fun of Xobni some months ago, I said the next product of this kind would be "a browser plugin that lets you search your bookmarks":

    No its here and its called WebMynd. Alright.

    Just for the record, here is my prediction: No one will use or remember this project in 2 years.

    Well, I have developed something similar (all your history is stored in a Database in YOUR sever). It is a free package.Check it out here: http://history.sansj.com

    I appreciate this is a YCombinator start-up, so apologies for being a little negative. Firstly I think the app itself looks good, but I visit a lot of sites and I was alarmed at the space being taken up after just a couple of hours of use. Also, I don't want to remember everything - just some sites. Currently I use Furl for this and it works well for me. Click one button and the page is saved into Furl - and fully searchable also. I appreciate that this WebMynd looks slicker, but having this kind of option for me would be better than saving everything

    cool, but this is another echo-chamber "non-product"

    Cool!

    But I wish there was a way to store all the pages locally instead of on a website. When I travel, I'd like to be able to go through my pages without going on the web.

    Nice idea, like my own personal google.

    Is there a way to download the history from their servers? Can I also upload my bookmarks, google history, etc?

    Grats guys! Great work in such a short time. Your launch has kicked me into higher gear working on our next release...

    Excellent product and I'm looking forward to seeing all the new features the WebMynd guys have in store! Congrats.

    Well, it doesn't seem to work for linux systems. So I can't try it. Bookmarking is a very real problem for me and I wouldn't mind paying, say, $10 a year for a good tool. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell your tool won't solve the problem. Atleast that's what I can tell without being able to try it.

    I don't like having everything saved to disk. Hence why I so often use Safari's private browsing feature.

    You guys have a bright future. Congrats on having a solid business model right off the bat.

    This sounds just like a spiced-up ScrapBook

    The visual history slider is really, really slick.
