This is a bit of sidetrack, but in case someone is interested in reading their history more easily. My conversations.html export file was ~200 MiB and I wanted something easier to work with, so I've been working on a project to index and make it searchable.
It uses the pagefind project so it can be hosted on a static host, and I made a fork of pagefind which encrypts the indexes so you can host your private chats wherever and it will be encrypted at rest and decrypted client-side in the browser.
(You still have to trust the server as the html itself can be modified, but at least your data is encrypted at rest.)
One of the goals is to allow me to delete all my data from chatgpt and claude regularly while still having a private searchable history.
It's early but the basics work, and it can handle both chatgpt and claude (which is another benefit as I don't always remember where I had something).
