I used to keep running into issues where I remember reading something somewhere on the internet but would forget where I read it.

I have tabs open for documentation, github, PM tools, cloud storage, AWS, localhost, etc. It becomes a mess, especially when working on multiple projects, and adds cognitive load.

I've used many bookmarking services. Pinboard can save tabs but the full text search doesn't support SPA sites and the product has stopped evolving. Raindrop is beautiful, but it can't save the browsing history or tabs. The permanent copy they both save is what their server sees, not what I see in my browser.

I wanted a swiss-army knife of bookmarking tools that does it all so I can keep everything in one place, and that's what I've made.

PS: I built this around 5 years ago to scratch my own itch and learn Flask, I'm working on finding the target audience that would pay for something like this. Can anyone help me there?

Just chiming in to say I love bearblog, it's a fantastic platform! I'd be interested to know how you monetise it, or if it's unmonetised, then how you plan on doing so in the future if the platform grows past a hobby project.

P.S. I understand the "Made with Bear" in the footer is part of the growth strategy and the "price" (albeit a tiny price) to pay for getting your blog hosted, is there option (paid or otherwise) to remove this, say if I wanted to host on my own domain?

Uh, you could write a small python script to check the csv file. Why do you need a rust based gui for it?

Oh wow I love it! Love the simplicity of installation — it's definitely a trend that's going up lately, but I'm surprised to see that, since Stripe made it mainstream back in the previous decade, it's... not very very common to have products that are installable with a code embed

1) Can you talk a bit more (to a non-technical person) about how the code embed works

2) As a suggestion, I think you'd do well in no/low-code communities or products. Webflow is a tool I use so I believe it'd be a success there, since the average Webflow user doesn't know how to code advanced stuff, but they know Webflow has a 'code embed' where they can slap a few lines (i.e. Fastcomments' snippet) and stuff works
