4 sourcesAsk HN: Self-hosted bookmarks application
Hello!
I have close to 5000 bookmarks on chrome, and I'm looking to self-host a bookmarking application. Any suggestions?
- It needs to be able to parse chrome bookmarks export (the netscape format which most if not all browsers support).
- Handle large amounts of links.
- Have a decent authentication functionality (login/logout enough).
I know I have a quite too many bookmarks, and a good chance that I may never use most of them. Indulge me nevertheless.
I've already tried using
- Shaarli : https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli
It can't parse my chrome bookmarks. Which I'm assuming is due to some malformed URL, or special characters. I could try to fix it, but I have far too many to check.
- unmark : https://github.com/cdevroe/unmark
I'm constantly hitting database issues, either the sql_mode is incompatible, or something else. I've had to

modify some of the php code to get it working (login screen), but I have little to no experience with php, and it needs more fixing to get it working on my machine (doesn't go past login, multiple issues).
- wallabag : https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag
Its more of a replacement for pocket than a bookmarking application.
Thanks!
Very nice. I love the idea of integrating tab saving with bookmarks. OneTab is great, but it's easy to rack up a stupendous number of saved links, with really important ones lost in the accumulated junk.
I've bounced back and forth through a couple different approaches and tools. I have a ton of browser bookmarks in Chrome, many of which are old even after I did some cleanup work a while ago. Plus Instapaper. And, of course, a ton of saved tabs in OneTab. I've toyed with a couple of open-source tools like unmark and bookmarks.public (git-based, which sounds fun but is really just a couple extra steps removed from your browser), but never really found something that satisfied all of my needs.

Especially Bookie looks good and would be a preferred candidate to transition to if you are still using the very old 'Sitebar', 'Scuttle' or the interesting 'Semantic Scuttle'.
