Re:Show HN: Linquist - the simplest way to publish bookmarks...

Hey HN!
I wanted a simple way to continuously publish my favorite reads online - without having to sign up for an external service like Pocket, or manually export my bookmarks each week.
So I built this - a simple site + Chrome Extension to automatically sync bookmarks online. All you have to do is rename a bookmarks folder to contain the word "(publish)", and anything added to that folder will be dynamically updated on your own page.
* You must be signed into Chrome to use it. I know that's not great for privacy, but it keeps bookmarks in sync across multiple Chrome installs - the alternative is to create a Linquist-specific account.

For example: https://linquist.app/view/edb18a0cec0940ccddb616802a1773a7f7...
Sharing it here in case anyone finds it useful.
Couple caveats:
* Chrome only.

Hope it's useful!
