Re: Show HN: Free Plain-Text Bookmarking
#72Two thoughts: - I like the no-nonsense landing page, but what I'd like more is to be able to see what the product actually looks like without having to sign up. At least screenshots, but a demo would be nice. - I'm looking to migrate away from Pinboard, but I like how you can see all of a user's bookmarks (e.g: https://pinboard.in/u:justusthane ) unless they mark them private. I get that the point of Webtag is it's p…
Just curious, why are you planning to migrate away from Pinboard? I have been meaning to sign up for years.
I plan on leaving. I am unable to download all copies of ny bookmarks from my archival account. Have sent support request about this never any response.
Support requests are often not answered. Google around , you will see plenty of other complaints in my opinion.

I ended up ditching my old stuff in Instapaper, Readwise and Pinboard back in 2020ish because it didn't really fit the data model[1] (content-first rather than link-first) and since then I'm very happy with how everything is archived[2], organized and shareable[3] in Notado. I still think it's possi…
Looks great. What's up with Kullish? Seems to be down
Naturally, the release I push before making a comment here is the one that takes down the website. Back up now :)

#74I love the homepage, simple and clean! Any screenshots of how it looks for logged users? I noticed it uses MongoDB. That seems like an overkill to me, have you considered SQLite? if you are open to taking feature requests: - ability to add random notes - any submitted link should be captured in archive / wayback machine - (complicated) search within the submitted links content
Why is MongoDB overkill?

Here is an interesting plot twist. At the time, one of Miitla "competitors" was Kippt[1], I was impressed with their design at the time and followed them very carefully. Turns out, Kippt founder is Linear founder these days... Persistence is the key. [1] https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/kippt
I agree persistence is key! Oddly though the kippt homepage doesn't seem to load for me.
It has been discontinued given that Coinbase acqui-hired the Kippt team (2 people)

#76I've also created an open-source plain-text bookmarking tool, Static Marks: https://darekkay.com/static-marks/
The bookmarks are stored in one or more YAML files, and static-marks generates a single web page on build.

I didn’t try it but am surprised it’s using a DB. I thought it would be… plain-text.

#80I'm curious, where and how is the information stored as part of the service. Would be nice if you can share the deployment strategy that is being used as it suggests the framework for long term support. Thanks and nice work
I'm not the dev, but based on the source it looks like Mongo: https://github.com/vasanthv/webtag/blob/main/server/collecti...
