Back to the old days. Instead of search, curation.

I have the same problem for years. I simply can’t find the best library / package out there. Neither on Google nor on Github, npm, Duck and co. Therefore I’ve started to build my own personal search engine powered by bookmarks and tags. The irony is that I use Gmail as a bookmarking and tagging provider where search works just perfect.

In addition I subscribe to lots of newsletters, so an inbox search gives the industry pulse + my personal faves.

Outside my expertise / domain I rely on friends. Want a new technical jacket for winter? I ask my friends who do winter sports for ages. In reverse, I give them advice for the web.

And I don’t mind. This is how we went back to ‘personal’ computing.
