This is a total nonstarter without a browser extension. I know it's in the roadmap, but I'm not willing to even look at this without the extension as the starting point. It's also the part you need to get right before anything else matters. Right now I use xbrowsersync. It's got major problems, like sometimes (always?) breaking the ability to add bookmarks at all when sync isn't working, having to authenticate with a…
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...
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…
If you overlook some idiosyncrasies due to its main purpose (references), Zotero really shines as a bookmark manager. It is mature and has a lot of advanced features. The last one I discovered is enabling hierarchical tags with an addon. [1] I still welcome any new well-built alternatives like Grimoire, and I agree with you that a first-class UI is important.

I feel the opposite. I won't install anything except official OS packages outside Docker, if I can avoid it. Sick of polluting my filesystem with things that are hard to update, conflict with other installed packages, mess with my shell startup files, unnecessarily request root access to install, install to weird places, don't play nice with other installed packages, and on and on. Docker is not without complications…
Have you given Nix a try? It's fully solved this problem for me, and it also has Dockerfile generation down great. Nothing else comes even close What's really nice is using direnv to cd into a directory and having a flake.nix file in it which changes the entire system to what I need to do in that folder. So I don't need any of my dev environment to be system-wide, everything is per project. That alone has cut my syst…
How cross-platform is direnv + Nix? Do flake.nix files have macOS/Linux versions?
One of the biggest advantages of using Docker images as a package format is that it's (sort of) cross-platform via Docker desktop and such on a Mac. I would prefer to use something like Nix if possible if it solves the problem a different way (being aware of platforms).

For what it's worth, I gave up on all external bookmark tools and went back to using Firefox's built-in bookmark manager. I enjoy that it's a CTRL+B away to see all my bookmarks, and that I'm able to sync it with my Firefox account.
With a s* for brains search. It fails to search anything, even it's own folders! or parts of the url. or the tags that gets added and removed from the UI every now and then and are ignored in search. heck there's a 18yr old bug about performance being so bad in this search that if you have over 1k bookmarks it will just hang for several seconds. edit: that said, i also use firefox bookmarks exclusively, but just for…
That said, all you have is the url and description if you don't tag, so yeah, it's hard for it to be really smart about what you are looking for. As another commenter mentioned, this is an area that an AI assist tagger or search would be useful. But the industry want to drive you to a search engine so you can be data mined and shown ads.
It 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!
Documentation is still WIP and incomplete. As per https://grimoire.pro/docs/roadmap sharing, import, export, bookmarklet and browser extension are on the roadmap. Offtopic: I've heard the word Grimoire only from the Black Clover anime and expected the author to be a fan of the series. Didn't know that it's such a common word, so TIL.
What would be awesome is if I could wget all the assets locally, and then use a local LLM to search its contents.
I use raindrop https://raindrop.io/ to manage my bookmarks but would switch if this actually gets browser extensions and stuff
