Summary
Analyze keywords

The best person to send you links matching your interests is a time traveling version of yourself: create a time capsule by choosing when the current tab should be re-opened; this will bookmark the current tab, and program to re-open it in the future, according to the choosen periodicity, be it an hour, a day, a month, a year, a decade!

It will then re-open at this periodicity until the end of times. Or until you un-bookmark it.

Why would I need this?

Do you have a bookmark folder with 10,000 things-you-should-absolutely-keep-in-mind but never actually re-open once bookmarked? Now, if you don't come back to those things, those things come back to you!
Works very well when learning a new subject: you open many links which for most don't make sense now, but would probably make sense in a few months. (that worked awesome for me when learning web development).
Works very well as a memo/alarm mechanism: "Now isn't the time to deal with [enter the task on which you plan to procrastinate], but I got to see this page in X hours/days/etc."
In some ways, the logo may look like a bow tie. Bow ties are cool.

Top features

Built with the latest WebExtension standard: shouldn't break until next decade addon revolution
Super customizable periodicity: if the offered buttons aren't enough, click on the popup (to get focus on it) and start typing the precise number of a time unit you want.

No longer seems to work

Vraiment sympa et bien pratique ! Fontionne parfaitement et parfois l'enregistrement des pages semble ne pas vouloir se faire, comme ça sans raison. Un conflit avec Chrome, ou autre, je ne sais pas.
