Misread it as “federated bookmaking software for the independent web” and thought “Yes, a useful application of blockchain!”

The Betula bookmark manager and the Mycorrhiza wiki engine are among my favourite apps. They both use mycomarkup and are easy to self-host. Give them a spin.
Do you happen to know if it supports tabs in code blocks (renders tabs as tabs instead of spaces equivalent)? I failed to find a way to test without installing.
cool, but I don't see the point of it being federated. My bookmarks are just stuff I might want to see again, probably not very interesting to anyone else so I can hardly see the benefit of them going off and propagating throughout the entire known universe

1) The central party running the website accumulates value from its growing network but doesn’t want liability for their database being hacked and corrupted (eg having someone give themselves a lot of votes or internal credits), or prevent the fear that they won’t pay out (eg when PayPal froze accounts for the tiniest reasons, or Lebanese banks, or Canada, etc.). In the past this was partially solved with reuquiring middlemen to post surety bonds in every state and registering as a money transmitter. But many marketplaces (eg Etsy, Ebay, Kickstarter, Uber Eats) today operate in a gray area when they do payouts.
2) When a community (whether local or global) are engaging in some ongoing collective action and want to make sure everyone can verify the rules were followed, without relying on fallible middlemen. The Factory Pattern allows them to easily verify that the publicly audited software was indeed not tampered with. Examples include: contests, elections, roles and permissions, escrow transactions, memberships with recurring subscriptions, disbursements to approved entities etc. In the past we just had bank accounts be a block box for most investors etc.

Bookmarking software isnt one of them.

The author, bouncepaw, is very friendly. If you need a TAB to look like it's, say 4 SPACEs wide, perhaps he will accept a feature request.
