Re: Grimoire: Open-Source bookmark manager with extra features
#2I love products with a bit of personality. There's tons of bookmark managers out there, but how many of those take the magical-mystical angle?
I don't have a use for Grimoire - not willing to change my bookmark workflow at this point - but you can be sure I'll remember it just based on that.

#3It would be helpful to have an overview of how to use this. I understand that I run a docker image, but what does it do? Do I have a bookmarklet? Can I import and reorg my saved bookmarks? Does it tie in with Chrome or Firefox saved bookmarks? Etc?
Thanks!

#4Aside. I completely stopped using book marks. Everything relevant to me will be an open tab, and closed once read or no longer useful; everything not immediately relevant enough to warrant an open tab will probably not be read anyway, or the link broken once I get back to it.
This has made my digital life a lot less burdensome to manage, and it also felt freeing to drop all that unorganised baggage.
To all those bookmark junkies out there - do you really actually read all that stuff, or is it just data hoarding? (And I don’t mean this in spite, I’ve hoarded lots of data at one point or another myself :-))

Yes, but now you can run into risk of becoming 1000-tabs-open junkie like me :-)
Off-topic, but given how people try to apply LLMs to everything right now, I am surprised there is no extension or something similar to help manage bookmarked and open tabs.

I bookmark things in pinboard that I may wish to find again, at some other point in time... I am helping my future self, and I appreciate that by paying pinboard to ensure a backup of the page is saved. I search the bookmarks every week or two, and I frequently search back years to "I recall a passage, but now want to read the full article again or share it with someone"... this works even when the site has long-ceased to exist because of the backup scraped at the time. I have bookmarks going back to the mid-1990s, and I do periodically (every year or two) look at which still work and which have fallen by the wayside for which I have no saved page — and I delete those.
Additionally I have this page https://david.kitchen/bookmarks/ which is my browser home page in all browsers, and is another form of a bookmark collection, and this is how I mostly interact... where pinboard is long-term storage of bookmarks, anything I interact with regularly enough is on this page. I update this whenever I find myself returning to the same thing for more than a few weeks.
I don't feel like I carry any baggage, the opposite in fact... I feel like this clears the mind of the responsibility to remember as this is mostly long-term memory and short-term convenience.
I also keep my browsers in permanent incognito mode with NoScript... so tab-city is not a thing I've ever done, every session is a blank session. I view bookmarks like data on a computer... it should be extremely portable across devices and OSs, and so bookmarks should transcend the device, a specific browser, and be available everywhere.

#7While humans are still browsing (instead of agents), there is definitely a need to manage our collections better.
I worked on something in 2007 for bookmarking, too. https://vimeo.com/60251128

#9I went from firefox to shaarli back to firefox now that sync is fairly reliable, tagged and optimized, better search is the reason I might check this out.

The problem is when I suddenly remember something I saw a month ago that is now relevant and I can't find it anymore. That's why I preemptively bookmark interesting stuff
