#42Will probably need to DIY, but if you know any (ideally composable) tools that can cover even a portion of this system, please let me know before I start wiring Buku into Emacs.

#43Mildly related thought: What I need is an RSS feed, Youtube, and local file manager (for content addressed buckets) that regularly brings a handful of "items" to my attention Anki-card style for quick metadata review/updates, relative (bracket-style) ranking, monotonically-increasing "priority" counter I can tick over time, and "Do you still want to keep this?" for de-cluttering. Will probably need to DIY, but if you…
1. For Atom/RSS feeds, I use elfeed-org[0]. (including YouTube channels). You can also use elfeed-tube[1] to watch videos on mpv without accessing the website. 2. For spaced-repetition, I also use org-drill[2], this makes it easy to take notes while reading PDFs with pdf-tools[3]. 3. For priority tracking, I use the builtin org-agenda with org-super-agenda[4] to create "views" based on some metadata[5].
This is all done in the same plain text format (org files) and synced in a Git repository.

#46I don’t have a privacy policy because I haven’t gotten around to creating one yet but yeah, like the other guys say:
- full api access - get all your data out as a zip or json or csv - when you delete something it’s truly deleted, not soft deleted.

#47It's the most boring, but a text file with the urls and a title is probably your best option. Copy and paste to browser. Encrypt the file if you want extra security and use a good password/password manager. I understand it's not elegant UX/UI though.
Interesting idea and I'll give it a try, though the thought of transferring over my existing bookmarks (very large) and giving many of them titles is daunting to say the least.

#49emacs org-mode + org-cliplink + macro bound to F5. F5 -> insert org-mode style link with URL and Title. Then I can add as much description or tags as needed. If full text is needed, I might pull the site up with eww and copy/extract the text into org entry or add to org-roam for future processing.
New bookmark file per day synced via self hosted Git repo accessed over TailScale.
Manual, but full control and only available to me.
