Export Method API

- It would be good to have [[API]] in [[Writing Method]].

• I was thinking of dumpfb, which writes Facebook activity to a file.

  • node-webkit.
  • Consider using Puppeteer in new version
  • I don’t want to hardcode my Facebook password.
  • In the previous version, a window would appear, so I had to manually log in to Facebook and then launch the export.
  • Can you put up a window? →Yes, I can.
  • Or rather, it should be a Chrome extension.
  • I wonder if a Chrome extension can export files (see chrome.fileSystem).
  • No, wait, since we’re going to create a service called “write out method → make it into a KJ method sticky” soon anyway, why not just provide an API for the write out method?

• With this API, it’s not just about Facebook activity.

  • Twitter (my own and others’)
  • When you see someone else’s Scrapbox or Wikipedia, automatically clip it
  • Clip from Amazon
  • Of course, it can be used for the write out method (= manually get it out of your brain)

• The amount of work is overwhelmingly larger than the manual export method (= not assuming that a human being will see all of it).

  • I don’t even look at the entire current Twitter timeline.
  • Chronological order (most recently added first)
  • Display for Review
    • Incremental Reading-like display
    • Do not display items with a date close to the last display date
    • A gumbo that might yield something new.”
  • search (e.g. for someone using a search engine)
    • Shouldn’t the search also be recorded as an activity?
    • You should be able to create tags and groups after the fact.
  • You can “Like.”
    • Keep the “like” and “view” values and use the “like/display” count as a measure of goodness
  • A reply button allows you to comment while keeping the link.
    • One click to quote the original text, so when you want to edit it, reply with a new text instead of editing the original.
