SocialBacklog

Note: This project is not yet available on GitHub.

Overview

SocialBacklog addresses the problem of interesting links lost to browser history. It analyzes your browsing patterns, identifies content worth revisiting, and surfaces it as an organized backlog. The daily_wake script helps start each day with a curated list of items to explore.

Key Features

• History Analysis: Scans browser history to find meaningful content.
• Smart Filtering: Distinguishes browsing noise from items worth saving.
• Backlog Queue: Organized list of items to revisit with priority levels.
• Daily Wake: Morning script that surfaces relevant items for the day.
• Category Tagging: Automatic categorization of saved items.
• Progress Tracking: Mark items as read, saved, or dismissed.

Technical Architecture

The system consists of a FastAPI backend that processes browser history exports and a Vue/Vite frontend for managing the backlog. SQLite stores the processed items and user interactions.

Core components:

• History Parser: Reads and normalizes browser history from multiple sources.
• Content Classifier: Determines item relevance and category.
• Queue Manager: Handles backlog ordering and surfacing logic.
• Daily Digest: Generates morning summaries of items to review.

Technology Stack

• Backend: Python, FastAPI
• Frontend: Vue 3, TypeScript, Vite
• Database: SQLite
• Automation: Shell scripts for daily wake routine

Current Status

Active development with core backlog features working. History import and classification functional. Currently improving the daily wake algorithm and adding browser extension support.
