Really happy to see an update to this. Shaarli is an alternative, but seems to have issues with the default Docker container.

However, I would be much happier with an ncurses-based and file-system database for a bookmark manager that uses Markdown front matter or even just a TOML file:

https://gohugo.io/content-management/front-matter/

Would be much easier to manage bookmarks and sync them in a directory-tree format. Hopefully something like this will get added eventually.

I'm envisioning something like,

  * bookmarks/
    * services/
      * google.md
      * favicons/

I've been doing this with directories/text files/a handful of shell functions for the last few years. It's not _great_, so I'd love if there was a better tool that supported a similar "storage backend". Being able to grep everything, sort by modtime, etc. is pretty nice.

Has anyone spoken to you recently about orgmode :)

Yes, I'm aware of orgmode and find it helpful, but I don't think I think it only provides partial features in this instance.

Hmm what features would a git synced via -

https://github.com/simonthum/git-sync #this gives low friction commits/pull/push

Using https://github.com/rexim/org-cliplink #this gives nice looking links in your orgmode

When added to orgmode it far past what a standalone bookmarks managerey thing does.

ie - follow up to this github issue in 3 weeks with a bookmark in the TODO

Ymmv of course.
