Re: Show HN: Free Plain-Text Bookmarking
#2Yeeeears ago (around 2011/2012) I've built a simple bookmarking app called Miitla (MInd IT LAter), you can still find references to it[1]. I was focused on providing a simple bookmarking experience with tags and such. Unfortunately, I was not motivated enough to keep updating the project and in the end, I stopped. I got a few thousand users, but at the time my day job was generating nice income and I wasn't thinking about monetizing Miitla.
To this day, I regret that I did not pursue it and transformed into something bigger.
Congrats on the launch, what catches my attention is the simplicity. Keep it like this for long enough and you will get many users.

#3It's hard to understand from the description what this even is. Does it save your bookmarks in like a element? Is it clickable? What does it look like?

#4I would like something like this but self-hosted. I have a collection of .html bookmark files from over the years and would love to consolidate them all into one place without having to sync them to Google/Microsoft/3rd party.

#5Sounds cool, but my bookmarks are too valuable to save on the servers of someone I'm not paying a subscription to :-x

Looks like the source code is all public, so self-hosted is probably an option: https://github.com/vasanthv/webtag

This is open-source, you can spin up your own instance.

#10I currently use Firefox bookmarks, synced through my Mozilla account. What would be the advantages for me if I were to use Webtag?
Related: does anyone know if there's any limit to synced bookmarks/history in Firefox?
