Having a first-class UI for bookmarks really does make a difference. I used to agree with some of the sentiments expressed in comments here - that bookmarking is a write-only activity, that just feels satisfying without actually being useful. Then I started using Zotero for my bookmarks, organizing them into collections, tagging them, adding descriptions ("Abstract"), etc., and I find that I actually go back to them…
My perfect bookmark manager is Markdownload https://github.com/deathau/markdownload Just save the complete page, only selected text or only the link to a markdown file or Obsidian. With downloaded, linked or without pictures. My OS and Obsidian can search those files, they have more (automatically added) metadata. I can even edit them in the browser: add your thoughts, tags or change the name of the file before they…

Whatever little need it has are squarely served by the browser’s bookmark service and I think all of them h…

I feel like "docker as the preferred installation method" is a dealbreaker for me. This means that either the dependency situation is out of control, or the author just doesn't want to think about it, but either way it's a no from me...
I kinda prefer docker installations because I don't need to guess what implicit "works on my machine" dependencies someone had, and the whole thing can be mostly stateless or the extra state is made pretty obvious.
