    You could get “Obsidian” notes (free software for Mac, windows and Linux) and you could just use it as an electronic FILE CARD system….. copy paste the FILE NAME into a note and THEN under it list search terms prefixed with # and then just search the # in the app for a list of every file you marked with that #
    BEST thing about that is you can open those ‘cards’ in any text editor so its mostly future proof..

    https://obsidian.md/ you can get it free

    BEGINNER video… watch the hipster and he will show you all kinds of tricks… but you really only need the search bar and note making if your making a searchable index

    The issue is that you need to take the time to # and list the ideas the article holds… on the bright side note taking improves your recall and comprehension

    Httrack can to grab a website and organize it for offline storage and browsing…but you CAN link your local files with Obsidian if you want to

    You can use also “The Brain” mindmaping software but its not as future proof or nice

  2. I think we need to save podcasts as well.
    I can no longer subscribe to The Corbett Report on Google Podcast player.

    Not only did it unsubscribe me but when I try to subscribe again it freezes the whole app and it crashes.

    I do also use RSS now and get emails but they can stop that at any time these days.
