Slightly OT, but I'm looking for a bookmark manager to actually manage my current bookmarks. I'm using Firefox and I'm currently up to about 1000 bookmarks, organized in a couple of directories. But I'd like to have UI that can tag them, automatically sort by domain and more. The Firefox Bookmark Manager is not good enough when you have a lot of bookmarks. Is there any tool out there? I don't want to export the bookm…

Full disclosure to start with, I work for the company building this.

We launched the latest version of Gurn (https://gurn.io) a few months back, it does bookmarks a little differently though. You assign keywords to your URLs, can collect multiple URLs under a single keyword, and sort them into lists. You can then invite others to collaborate on those lists.

You can then navigate to them directly through the browser bar. We currently support chrome and firefox with IE, Edge, and Safari all being worked on at the moment.

It's aimed mostly at teams but works really well individuals as well. I'm building the thing so take this with a pinch of salt, but I couldn't live without it now.

Thanks for the reply, I'll check it out.

Just a FYI: your certificate for www.gurn.io does not work on gurn.io, so when you link gurn.io, I'm getting a "invalid certificate" error.

Edit: just created an account and I can't find where the import for bookmarks are? I've installed the browser extension as well, but no import actions available there either.

I use Instapaper for not just "read later" feature but as bookmarking too to later refer it. It has single level folders for organizing. Searched can be done on page title or cached copy of page. As your solution is self hosted, it is good. Wish I knew Go tools to use it.

What do you mean?

Your https fails for me, just fyi. (error pops up saying the connection is not private)

Looks very cool. Any plans for a browser integration/plugin? I save a lot of bookmarks, sometimes even multiple at once (with tree style tab).

Yeah, I have plan to create add on for Chrome and Firefox. The rest API for saving bookmarks is already there, so I think it should be easy enough to do.

I just love the clean look of this. Looks like a labour of love for a personal tool. Nice feature, downloading the full HTML.

Thank you very much.

To clarify, it won't download the full HTML, only the content part of the webpage. It works by using go-readability[0], which strips unnecessary elements from a webpage.

Hoping you don't mind a little shameless plug here, I'd like to talk about likedb: https://github.com/kozmos/likedb

It's a bookmarking database that keeps a copy of all your bookmarks in your computer, but automatically syncs to your other devices. Similar to what Chrome and Safari do between your desktop and mobile devices.

Although it's built particularly for Kozmos (getkozmos.com), you can build a service that syncs with that.

P.S If you'd like to build an import manager, you can use Kozmos' parsing library; https://github.com/kozmos/bookmark-backup-parser
