Rewind displays your bookmarks filtered by date, with thumbnails and instant search. It takes one click to see the links you saved yesterday, last week, last month. It's totally free and it relies on your local bookmarks, you don't have to create an account.

@j_____________n Any chance of making this open-source? I think a lot of people would be more comfortable using this if they knew what was going on under the hood and how their personal data was being kept safe. Thanks for making this, looks really useful :)

@jxmesth Great question, I'd be happy to, I'm a huge open source enthusiast and I've shared many personal projects on my Github account (bouiboui) in the past, but I don't feel comfortable sharing this one yet because I feel like it's the best thing I've created so far so I'm overly attached to it, and I have big plans for it in the future, for example I'd like to get rid of the external dependencies, and I have ton of ideas for new features. I guess once I reach a bigger user base I'll feel more confident releasing it!

@jxmesth @j_____________n I go the reasoning but I won't use it until I'm sure of the privacy. I'll upvote for the work done, but still I'm not going to become a user if this will be private :) Well done and hope to see the right decisions taken in the future!

@jxmesth @claudiocodispoti I totally get it, and thanks to both of you I now understand why some users might be reluctant to use it. I'll get back to you when it happens! Thanks a lot for your feedback.

@j_____________n Thank you for you reply. I totally understand that not everyone wants to make their work open-source, especially when makers like you have worked so hard to build something that's very much needed today. And honestly that's fine as long as you have a clear privacy policy that informs users on how their data is being handled and where it's being stored. Correct me if I'm wrong but I couldn't find any of that info on Rewind's website. Thanks once again for making something amazing :)

@jxmesth That would be a good trade-off in the meantime, actually 🤔 I'm setting one up.

It seems broken to me. When I visit the extension it keeps looping through all the dates. See my loom video to see what I mean:

@adrian_carolli I have the same error, seems like a cool idea but broken for me. I'm on Windows Chrome.

@adrian_carolli Wow, thank you for recording this, another user had the same issue, I have no clue what would be causing it but I'm very interested. Can you try it in incognito mode, to see if another extension is causing it? Also, can you check if you have the last version of Chrome? Thank you! As a bonus, if you know what it is, can you check if there's something weird in the console?

@adrian_carolli @shuai_zhu thank you for your feedback, that makes at least three users who have this issue, that's worrying. Can you do what I asked from Adrian in my previous answer please? Btw I'm on Windows Chrome too. Thank you!

@adrian_carolli @giancarlojs Can you allow and try Rewind in incognito mode, and/or can you look in the Developer Tools Console (F12) if any error shows up and report it back to me please? I'd love to fix it but I need some more data.

Hey @j_____________n, nice idea. Thanks for this, I find it very useful already. It's cool to be able to visualise my bookmarks in chronological order :-) Is there a reason you cannot pre-defne the year in search?

Report

Maker

@le551 The biggest inspiration for this extension is Timehop, where you can see the pictures you took on this day, but throughout the past years, that's what this extension does, but with your bookmarks (and then it adds thumbnails, a search engine, and other cool features). So that's why you can't search for a specific year (yet), but that's definitely something I can add.

@j_____________n thanks for your reply :) re: Timehop, Yes I had similar thoughts when I stumbled across this. Like the concept! Good luck with it! If you ever need help testing or what not, give me a shout! Always happy to give feedback.

@le551 Thanks a lot! The feedback you gave me is already super useful, it gave me a pretty good idea that I'll try to implement very soon.

Thanks a lot for the hunt, @chrismessina! I made this extension because for many years I have been saving to my bookmarks every link I wanted to check out later, and I ended up with thousands of cool blog articles, website for products, youtube videos and so on, just waiting to be discovered again. It can feel overwhelming to open your bookmarks list and check them one by one, thanks to this extension it feels more like browsing Producthunt, Reddit, Refind and so on. Everyday you have your feed of cool links, curated by you, in the past. There are many other advantages that make me use this extension on a semi-daily basis. By the way, it's 100% free. Thank you for giving it a try!

@tweetatmax Thank you for using Rewind! I don't know about Freezetab, I will check it out! I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "cycling through the months"? I'll be happy to help if it's not the expected behaviour.

Report

Maker

@tweetatmax I've checked Freezetab and there's definitely some overlap on the problems it solves, but it seems like it's not relying on actual bookmarks? Which is a shame, because it doesn't know about the links you've saved before installing the extension, and the day you decide to uninstall it, you've lost everything you've saved with it. Please record and send away! But please also allow the extension in incognito mode and try it from there, because it may be because of another extension that messes with it.

@tweetatmax @j_____________n I am having the same problem. Have tried 3 times to load it. At first I thought it was indexing my bookmarks by day but it kept running too long and eventually stopping on a black screen. Thanks for creating it though @Julien I will try again another day.

I'm missing feature to show month and year only, not certain days. For example, I set January 2017 and I see what bookmarks I added then.

@rafx Very much on the same page! Also being able to tag/highlight the bookmarks based on purpose/folder etc would be very sharp.

Report

@david_evangelista yes, exactly, that would be really awesome. I managed to find some extension that is similar but very outdated, so these both together in one would be awesome. I mean this extension Starmarks Bookmark Manager if anyone interested.

@rafx That's totally doable and another user requested it as well, I will add this feature to the next version, I can keep you posted when it's available.

@david_evangelista @rafx Adding tags is feasible but I want the UI to be as straightforward as possible, I'll have to be smart about the implementation. On the other hand, it opens new possibilities that align with what I have in mind for the future, so I'll definitely try to add it very soon.

Ah... what if you had your bookmarks, in context, for 22 years? See https://bra.in/5vPgD9
