The problem Historia solves

People have faced an issue that they were not able to remember the website that they have visited in the past and want to revisit it again with a vague idea of what was present in that site. We have built this Chrome Extension for those who want to check which website a text or an image (YES! user can search for images using their description too) was seen. The user can either use the chrome extension to check out the history or use our mobile application as well. With this extension, the user does not have to worry about bookmarking any website and there is always a way to retrieve a website that he/she has visited in the past with just a few words that they remember. The extension also provides a short summary of the website that is being searched, so the user can just read the summary without even opening the website.

Challenges we ran into

The challenges we ran into were basically, How are we going to scrape all the text content and images from the website and produce descriptions about the content which can be searched upon later and can be easily fetched when searched. Another challenge was to initiate a trigger whenever a URL was entered by the user. Since we were new to chrome extensions we had to research to overcome this task. One of the important challenges that we ran into was How are we going to handle the dynamic websites.
