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.

I hope it does!

It would be great if you could import open tabs.

What I really want/need is a tool that helps auto-categorize/group all my open tabs into areas of interest and enables full-text search across all of those pages so that I can context switch back into whatever I was working on at that time.

Manually bookmarking and tagging doesn't scale for me.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't think a web app can do this, but a browser extension, which is on our roadmap could!

Regarding auto-categorize, how would you want that to work? I imagine this could be a machine learning problem, but I wonder if there is a naive solution that solves most of the problem instead of just throwing ML at it?

Text search across pages has come up multiple times in this thread. I shall add it to our list of features to investigate.

It should auto synchronize with browser as another devixe, not just import export. Sync code in Chromium and Firefox is opensource ...

To clarify, are you suggesting Linkidex automatically sync with whatever the user's bookmarks are on the user's current browser?

No, sync with Google or Mozilla server as browser would.

1. Can we publicly share our collected links to the public? (Think about delicious clone)

2. I think automated generation of favicon + maindomain + + opengraph card from the raw URL is quite useful, instead of manually adding the title.

3. Follow somebody's account. "Upvote" someone's link. (Yet another reddit/HN clone)

I've been using Shiori for some time. It is built in Go and open source.

https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori I haven't heard of this one before, thanks for the info. May I ask what made you decide to use Shiori instead of pocket or something else? It looks like Shiori is marketed as a "simple clone of pocket."

More than anything being able to host it myself in a container, but also syncing a lightweight SQLite DB to cloud storage is great. It is incredibly fast which I like. It isn't my ideal tool but so far my ideal tool doesn't exist.

1) sharing is on our roadmap and core to our long term value proposition.

2) That is a great idea. Right now we default the title to the URL if a user doesn't input a title. Your suggestion is superior, will look into this.

3) This is something we have considered, but isn't currently on our road map. Right now we are looking at making Linkidex a great productivity tool as opposed to yet another social network.

Raindrop is my current bookmark workflow, it works on desktop (Mac) and mobile and I believe it has full text search but I don’t use it. https://raindrop.io/

Raindrop is great! Its written by one guy and the polish / quality of his work is top notch.

Our roadmap is going to bring us in a different direction than Raindrop, but more details on that later.
