I love it. I have this thing where I keep tabs open as a bookmark.. I wonder if this is going to help me get rid of all these tabs.

Re: Show HN: Linkidex – save and sort the URLs you care about
#22What it misses for me personally is an ability to search over the pages my links are pointing to. Ideally within some additional radius over the links these pages have. Perhaps, it won't be easy to implement, but it looks like the only way to find a page you've bookmarked a year ago when you vaguely remember what was it about... Even integration with Google Custom Search would do the job here.
To clarify, the suggestion here is to search the contents of a given Link, not just the link's title or url? For example, if I have a webpage "www.linkidex.com/test" which displays a bunch of text, including "HackerNews2022", you need the ability to find this link by searching for `HackerNews2022`, assuming that you haven't named the link `HackerNews2022` or tagged it or categorized it as such? Some of our competitor…
Pinboard (http://pinboard.in/) provides a full-text search across all bookmarked sites if you have an archival account.

#23It looks like my personal instance of archivebox does such things for me.

#24It should auto synchronize with browser as another devixe, not just import export. Sync code in Chromium and Firefox is opensource ...
I mean, I know the client for Chromium is open source, but is there an open source sync server, ala mozilla-services/syncserver for Firefox? There seemed to be a couple of abandoned efforts on GitHub but I wondered if you knew of something more specific

#25Yeah full text search, saving an archived text based version of the page behind the link and local storage (export) would make it interesting for me.
That way, you could also feed the info from all those pages into software, let alone an AI for instance.

by local storage / export, do you mean storing your URLs, or downloading the archived text versions of pages?
Re: Show HN: Linkidex – save and sort the URLs you care about
#27I think what really is missing here would be a full text search. I have currently multiple thousands of bookmarks. Sometimes remembering the title just doesn't cut it. Also I have a severe fear of link rot. I developed the habit of putting every link I would bookmark into web.archive.org and archive.is as well. So a nice tool should do that too (and of course store the generated link). Some folks might even would wan…
Using web.archive.org is a fantastic idea I had not considered. I wonder if its ok to use their API to serve 'saved' versions of a given site instead of storing it myself. I shall look into this!

#28I did something similar for personal use with cloudflareworker that would trigger and send it to a personal slack (probable not the best storage but works for now). The best part i found was I learnt Progressive Web App to be able to "install" it to phone and let you hit the share button to ship the url to my worker and it would take care of it for me. Not sure if OP already have it in the app but i find that to be very useful

Google has turned off access to sync features for Chromium (2021)

#30Nicely done OP! How can I check on the status of bookmark importing? I exported from FF and it said the import began, but I'm not sure how/where to check the progress on that. Do I just refresh until they show up on the main page?
