project snapshot
- a project
- to automate myself.
- it currently consists in simple scripts that integrate available tooling to record digital snapshots of my computer's contents: the windows I had open, in which workspace, running what -- which browsers with which tabs, which editors with which opened notes.
- meta
- Ha, I thought I had noded this long ago? That's weird.
- Oh, interesting, it was as a pushed subnode so I didn't see it in foam. This surfaces the annoyance that foam is not agora protocol aware
- (Well, the whole of agora protocol is meta really, but this second level I guess.)
The idea is to have a simple way for users, initially perhaps knowledge workers but with an intent for ever greater user friendliness and inclusivity, to be able to store and restore digital workspaces: contexts they were operating on when working on a particular task and that could be useful at a later time when attempting to resume working on the same task or one related.
I would like to support all OSes/distributions/device types but I started with what I use the most: gnu linux. I intend to dedicate work to integrating tools that help users achieve this goal in whichever way they want, no matter the kind of device they are operating on. For this purpose I'm developing the agora: to facilitate the exchange of gardens, siphons and bridges that integrate all contexts that users are willing to share with others.
Currently i3 resurrect does most of the heavy lifting, which says to the idiosyncrasy of the solution, but I am interested in adopting all useful general conventions.
