Show HN: I'm open sourcing Harmonic, the Android Hacker News client

Big fan of the app. One thing that have bothered me a bit though are bookmarks. Is there any way to sync them with the built in HN functionality? I often bookmark threads with 200+ comments to take notes later on the computer but I haven't found a decent way to transfer them without sending links one by one.

Yeah this is something that has been on my mind. It is possible because I know other apps do this but I haven't looked into details of the API. I totally get the appeal and have received many requests to add this.

THere is an option to export bookmarks in the bottom of the settings and technically if you are a very hardcore person you could set up a Python script to import them but of course this is way too hardcore for most people.

Is there a way of automating the export of bookmarks in the app?

I'm thinking of exporting bookmarks regularly to a network drive and then having a script check for new content in that drive to sync with my desktop PC.

Also a big fan here, who would love to have the ability to sync bookmarks to his desktop PC. I'm usually just bookmarking while commuting (or sitting on the toilet), but prefer reading on a larger screen.
