Summary

Dave always wanted a bookmarklet that saves a copy of any article he's reading to a database on his own server. That gives him a searchable paper trail of what he read and where, and keeps the article if the link disappears. It became an article-archiver feature alongside a river-of-news reader and microblog, the root of his project with Adam.
