A Unix-style personal search engine and web crawler for your digital footprint
> I've wasted many an hour combing through Google and my search history to look up a good article, blog post, or just something I've seen before.<p>This is the fault of web browser vendors who have yet to give a damn about book marks.<p>> Apollo is a search engine and web crawler to digest your digital footprint. What this means is that you choose what to put in it. When you come across something that looks interesting, be it an article, blog post, website, whatever, you manually add it (with built in systems to make doing so easy).<p>So it's a searchable database for bookmarks then.<p>> The first thing you might notice is that the design is reminiscent of the old digital computer age, back in the Unix days. This is intentional for many reasons. In addition to paying homage to the greats of the past, this design makes me feel like I'm searching through something that is authentically my own. When I search for stuff, I genuinely feel like I'm travelling through the past.<p>This does not make any sense. It's Unix-like because it feels old? It seems like the author thoroughly misses the point of unix philosophy.
