Perhaps I’m not understanding how this stores data, but how do I retrieve source material after I give it to the app?

Eg. Let’s say I adopt Zenfetch, and start using it as the sole place where I keep bookmarks. Then, something happens such that I want to retrieve that original, principal, bookmark data.

How do I go about retrieving/exporting that?

We will enable an export data option soon where you can download a list of the bookmarks you saved to Zenfetch.

Our goal is not to become a vendor lock-in play. Instead, Zenfetch is a layer on top of your knowledge base goaled on helping you activate information that you forgot about.

If you're referring to being able to revisit bookmarks: from the dashboard, you can click on any of the articles to see the original article

Let me know if more clarity is needed

just a list of urls or the actual content?

[gabev]

Zenfetch will capture the actual content of those URLs (assuming they still exist and are accessible from your browser)

Not the original poster, but still not clear to me.

Say I mark a page that contains really usable information. For some reason, 2 months later that page goes offline because the domain was not renewed (or whatever). Some time after that happened, I need that information. Will I still be able to see the original content, or not?

Similar thing, I mark a page. The author updates the url with different content 2 months later. Some time after that happened, I need that information. Will I still be able to see the original content, or will I just find the new updated content?

I guess the question is: is a snapshot taken from the actual content at the time I mark it as interesting and can that snapshot be shown, or not?

[gabev]

Snapshot is taken from the actual content at that point in time. We haven’t enabled a reader format just yet where you could view the original text. Right now, clicking the card in the dashboard will redirect you to the URL.

If you were to chat with the article from the dashboard, it would be preserving the snapshotted content and leverage that information in the final answer (same with using the search functionality).

Clear, thanks!

I did not test it yet, but it looks like something that would be very useful for me. So, I will definitely try it.

I will add that me too, I have some concerns regarding the data being "locked" in your service, but I read in other comments that at some point it will be possible to create an export of some sort. When using this to carefully craft a knowledge base during months, it would be very painful if that is all lost when stopping the service for whatever reason.

As others asked, I would appreciate an Android/iOS app to register new content when reading something on the phone.

Regarding the pricing, it mentions a fixed price per month, but is there any limit on the amount of data that is uploaded (for example when uploading PDFs) ? Is there any limit on the amount of content in the knowledge base?
