I haven't tried Grimoire yet but I've recently started using Shiori - https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori
A big plus is that is a single Golang binary so very easy to set up. It also has a browser extension.

Unfortunately, you can only import bookmarks from a Netscape HTML file once. There is no update.
That mens I cannot periodically import my Raindrop bookmarks to shiori. After I've done the import I can either add new bookmarks to both immediately and by hand. Or I do a total re-import in shiori, which re-archives everything (and if a page isn't retrievable anymore, that's bad luck).

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
For many people, Google is sort of their bookmark manager. Want to open Facebook? Search 'Facebook' and click on the link. Want to open your bank site ? Again google bank name and click on the link. I've see even tech people do this. The only bookmarks I've seen my colleagues use are for internal reference wikis and links which are not readily searchable. I don't know whether this is a search or UX or people problem…
I've found I manually type out certain subsets of URLs where possible[0], maybe that's subconsciously associated with my impression that Google Search results have gotten worse and worse over the years. [0] " rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ and " rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.rs/ come to mind.
> I've found I manually type out certain subsets of URLs where possible
If you are doing this often enough, may be adding a custom keyword search might help. Both chrome and Firefox support it. Very useful with random JIRA and other ticket/id type navigation to skip search and jump directly to their pages.
> maybe that's subconsciously associated with my impression that Google Search results have gotten worse and worse over the years.
It has gotten worse and I don't think even Google will contest that claim.

#54Why did browsers fail when it comes to bookmark management? I mean seriously, it is arguably one of the most important features for organising your digital life and the best that a browser vendor can do is “folders”? This has always baffled me. Who enjoys opening their bookmarks and seeing 500 links in an unordered list? Metadata has been a thing for how long now, and yet no browser that I know of has gone ahead and…
Chrome doesn't want you to use anything other than Google to mediate web access. Makes business sense for a search company to build a browser that is basically just a search bar.
Other browsers copied their homework. Makes less sense.

#55Aside. 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 book…
I bookmark and tag a lot of stuff. It's come in handy multiple times.
Even stuff I've read, if I remotely think I'll want to see it again, I bookmark and tag.
I never manually go through my bookmarks, only search them. But they are a pointer back in history for me.

It's VERY nice (and this is absolutely about to be a question in the form of a comment), the one thing that is perhaps a deal-killer for me that I'm actually unable to get a clear read on:
It appears to be impossible to have a "public" page? How it does everything else is perfect for my style, but I'd like to be able to share my link page to my students without login?

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

#58My 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…
This sounds like the solution I could benefit a lot as well since I am using Obsidian for almost everything.
Could you elaborate more on the "local AI assistant parsing" part please?
Re: Grimoire: Open-Source bookmark manager with extra features
#59I 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.

#60Browser bookmarks were always ignored. Now I just save them to Pocket (getpocket.com).
