Thank you. :-)

Well... Shaarli. Dead simple to install, no fuss. https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli

I have been using it for the past 15 years with great satisfaction.

Re:RSS-Bridge – The RSS feed for websites missing it on Monday January 03, 2022 @06:53AM (#29779855)
Thanks (spoiler: I'm the author of this text. I'm the author of the first version of RSS-Bridge, which has since been beautifuly expanded by the community).
I have been using this email app for months, with 4 different email providers. It works like a charm, it's snappy, and privacy-oriented (preview links before opening them, block pixel tracking, and lot of other clever features.)

Oh and the developer is very active (several versions a week), very kind and answers very quickly.

One of the best bargains. (I bought the full version)

Oh great ! Another company who will gather my private data.

No thanks.

And Keybase desktop apps are freely downloadable from French IPs, so... ?
Re:Keybase is out for iPhone, Android on Thursday May 11, 2017 @05:31PM (#14319717)
Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, PGP, RetroShare and other are freely available in France.

Most notably PGP has been available in France for decade and has never received any form of approval as far as I know.

Re:Keybase is out for iPhone, Android on Thursday May 11, 2017 @04:49PM (#14319386)
Oh great... the application is not available in France (!). GooglePlay refuses to let me download the app. And the website does not provide a direct link to the apk (only direct links to desktop apps).

Will I have to download the app from dubious third-party stores ? :-(

Re:Delicious.com is del.icio.us again on Monday May 02, 2016 @03:31AM (#11609732)
I was SO fed up with all the bullshit and problems at delicious (and so dispointed by alternatives like Diigo) that I wrote my own, Shaarli.

Never again I'm going to trust another service for storing and sharing my links.

Don't forget to enable javascript feed updates in configuration.

A dead-simple GoogleReader replacement

GoogleReader will die, R.I.P. I'm done with tier-hosted services which choose to reduce features or close at will. No Feedly for me, thanks.Here's an opensource self-hosted online RSS reader which is dead simple: https://github.com/tontof/kriss_feed (Homepage: http://tontof.net/kriss/feed/)And when I say "dead-simple", I mean it: Just drop the single php file and you're done. Yes, it's that...

Did you try Kriss Feed ? Opensource, single php file, fast, no database needed, works great on mobiles, keyboard shortcuts, OPML import/export...

A few years ago I wrote WebGobbler (Gallery here: http://sebsauvage.net/webgobbler/). (My program would deserve an update.)

At the bottom of the page, I also listed a few more generative art projects.

Re:Show HN: Klipbook, a new online bookmarking tool on Thursday February 21, 2013 @11:03AM (#5258142)
Thanks :-)

Oh, and thanks for the bug report regarding the cookie path. I did not pinpoint this behaviour before. (And I currently lack time to update Shaarli.)

For the archival feature, you use the export option (in tools menu), then import it later to restore. Or you can backup all files located in the "data" subdirectory.

Shaarli grew too fast and I did not expect to have so many people interested in it (This is a typical scratch-an-itch project). I plan a complete rewrite, with multi-users support and many other features (I have a heavy to-do/feature request list :-)

Re:Show HN: Klipbook, a new online bookmarking tool on Tuesday February 19, 2013 @03:10AM (#5243232)
I used to be a delicious user. Their export was broken for several months, and they did not show signs of wanting to fix it. I had to write a Python script to backup my data by parsing their HTML pages.

Regarding Diigo, their Firefox extension sends every visisted URL to their server. Thanks for the respect of my privacy.

Enough is enough.

Re:Show HN: Klipbook, a new online bookmarking tool on Monday February 18, 2013 @10:38AM (#5238728)
Good to know you're working on it.

In my experience, Netscape bookmarks html export worked better. But even then I experienced a lot of broken exports from online bookmarking services. This is a pain. Good luck with that.

Re:Show HN: Klipbook, a new online bookmarking tool on Monday February 18, 2013 @10:26AM (#5238679)
Looks nice, but again...:

  * another closed source service ?
  * Are there import/export options ?
  * There is not even a RSS feed ?

Sorry for looking like parasiting a topic, but I need to rant: I'm sick of close-source online bookmarking services, especially when I can't import/export all my data. So I'm moving away from them. I want to have control. This my data.

I developed my own bookmarking application, Shaarli (opensource, bookmarklet, html import/export, private links, tag cloud, picture wall, "daily" digest and many other features). http://sebsauvage.net/wiki/doku.php?id=php:shaarli

My own instance is: http://sebsauvage.net/links/

I don't say hosted services are bad, but I'm definitely done with them.

With my client-side encrypted pastebin & discussion board, I'm not going to the USA anytime soon. ( http://sebsauvage.net/wiki/doku.php?id=php:zerobin )
