On mobile devices, accessing git repos and local html files is not always as simple as desktop. Having a integrated Git sync wouldbe really useful. This can be done via this library.

Assuming we have two bookmarks:

• http://example.com
  • git, foo, bar
• http://example.net
  • baz, test, mercurial
• http://example.org
  • moi, kissa, mercurial

If the user clicks on mercurial then there are four related tags: baz, test, moi, kissa. These are tags that are also applied to bookmarks tagged mercurial.

We should show these for better navigation.

It wil be useful to edit and delete bookmarks.

May be the most minimalistic way is to:

• Add small clickable item near bookmark that switches Add form to Edit/Delete mode
• When in Edit/Delete mode, the form should have Done, Delete and Cancel buttons instead of Add one

There is also a problem in dealing with duplicates. And even what exactly to consider diplicates.

Hope to see other suggestions here =)

via email from Martin Stephenson:

• Document explicitly how the firefox importer works & is used.

When trying to load the page am getting an error as below.

XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///T:/Web-Dev/Github/bookmarks.public/bookmarks.data. Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome, chrome-extension, https, chrome-extension-resource.
send @ jquery-3.0.0.min.js:4

Thought this may be related to storing everything from Github on an external drive but get the same error when copying everything to the C:\ drive and trying to run it there.

From the index file looks like this is what the script is trying to prevent? Could this be a windows 10 only issue? Am also using Google Chrome.

Will update issue as I find anything else useful.

This way you could sort bookmarks by date, and find a bookmark you created last week (if you don't remember the name or the tags).

To reproduce:

1. Do: click a tag Result: specific bookmarks tagged show as expected
2. Do: click Show All Result: All bookmarks show as expected
3. Do: click same tag as in step 1. Result: All bookmarks stay on screen

"Show All" leaves the URL with the anchor to the specific tag still in it. I believe this is the source of the problem. It needs to modify the URL to remove the tag hashtag anchor.

hello,

i'm sorry, i actually don't want to open an issue but don't know how else i can ask about that bookmarks page ...

how can i actually save the bookmarks that i've added?

i tried the browser's /Save As/ without luck. Then I was working on implementing a button for saving but i didn't figure out how to do that properly. I added a button which inserts some anchor which has the document as data uri, but the formating gets entirely mixed up ...

how do you do this?

cheers,
gabriel

When showing different tags, bookmarks are reordered in the file.

When making changes and saving then, resulting diff actually contains some lines moved in the file without any use of this reordering.

I suggest adding one line to saveDataFile() function:

...
// beautify text
text = text.trim().replace(/[\n\r]+/g, "").replace(/<\/li><li/g, "</li>\n<li");
text = text.split('\n').sort().join('\n');
...

Last line will actually minimize diff after changes.

If this feature is desired, I can create a pull request on it.

Hi,

could you get it working in Safari browser?

https://github.com/dluciv/bookmarks.public/blob/master/index.html contains:

<p> </p>
<fieldset>
    <legend><b>Save Data </b></legend>
    <form id="saveForm" name="newForm">
        <button type="button" onclick="saveDataFile()">Save...</button>
    </form>
</fieldset>

While https://github.com/skx/bookmarks.public/blob/master/index.html does not.

Problem very likely happens in this merge: 0a9897b#diff-eacf331f0ffc35d4b482f1d15a887d3bL69

Original pull request contained saving markup: https://github.com/skx/bookmarks.public/pull/13/files#diff-eacf331f0ffc35d4b482f1d15a887d3bL68

Please consider this pull request #8

Please, add an other view to list the bookmarks by tag or category, something like this: https://www.bucmarks.com/demo/

Thank you. This is a really useful program for whom is concerned about privacy.

I guess this project has reached the end of its useful life.

You can serve the files via a simple HTTP-server, but at that point the utility is gone.

From the release notes of Firefox 68.0:

Local files can no longer access other files in the same directory.

We'll have to jump through hoops to load the external javascript, because the naive attempt won't work:

<script src="bookmarks.js"></script>

(Rather it will work if you serve your bookmarks over HTTP, but if you open them like me via a file it'll fail)

Advantages to moving things externally:

• Its that it's easier to make local changes.
• Currently the Javascript is inline and horridly formatted, as is the CSS.

Disadvantages:

• More files.
• Less portable.

In practice I think it'll be fine; I just clone the repository and use it - obviously I use a private fork with my own personal bookmarks - if there are more files then that's not the end of the world.

My synchronized bookmarks came a long way from Opera to SeaMonkey to Firefox and now I see myself using Chrome/Chromium regularly. I really like the idea of having my bookmarks not stored on an alien server. I like your very transparent approach that does not use PHP or a heavyweight SQL database behind the scenes like other solutions do. I mean who would use a database dump to (re)store his/her bookmarks?

I put some effort in the hierarchical organization of my bookmarks. Is there any chance to have that replicated?

Just because these are operations I frequently need.

When I create non-ASCII tag (imagine, "Достоевский"), it is handled incorrectly in URL after # and has no effect when clicked

I have about 500 bookmarks in my file, now I've merged and reconciled yet again.

Add a button to show 25 random links. This will let me update tags, where missing, and see fun sites.
