Hey folks, another option that I've settled on (after messing with shaarli, shiori and a few others) is Buku. Usually I really like plain text instead of dbs, but the killer here for me, I realize, is that I'm not tied to any one method of input OR output. Mainly, I do adding through a bookmarklet, and retrieval through "bukuserver," a self-hosted web thing. But also, I have the option of the command line (for bulk adding) as well as browser addons and other things, and (I use Syncthing) it doesn't matter "where" the db is, either on my machine or hosted on a vps. https://github.com/jarun/buku
In Show HN: Free Plain-Text Bookmarking
For my 80k+ bookmarks I use buku. Everything goes in there. It`s just a sqlite database (and buku is also a library for python). Good resources are saved in archivebox.io and are searchable via `rga`. In order to access my bookmarks i either need a local copy or have access to where my stuff is stored. To open any bookmark i search with `fzf` outside the browser. so i can work browser independently. (Can be integrated in rofi or dmenu.) And in the near future I`ll upload resources in a webarchive format to ipfs node to preserve some of the current internet (and to not get involved with rate limiting when I update my buku metadata. Sorry HN, I'm not spamming, just updating meta data for my bookmark archive.) https://github.com/jarun/Buku https://archivebox.io/ https://github.com/oduwsdl/ipwb [edited1 for formatting] [edited2 forgot to rela

In How I centralize and distribute my bookmarks
There's also a similar project buku (https://github.com/jarun/buku). I've been using buku for a while given its mature ecosystem around decoupled search-and-viz server, fantastic browser extension, easy browser importing, rich meta-information management et al. The buku server ideally would make sense to be local, and there enters LinkAce. Although I believe LinkAce has slightly different goals than buku, more around preservability and portability :)
In Show HN: LinkAce – Self-hosted, FOSS bookmark archive
I have a side project called Bukubrow. It's a WebExtension that plugs into Buku, a CLI bookmark manager. I'm currently rewriting it in PureScript. It's hard to get pure functional programming's foot in the door at work - understandably, the business case against it is reasonable given our employee demographics (i.e. mostly Java devs) - so this is the next best way to learn. -- Bukubrow: https://github.com/SamHH/bukubrow-webext Bukubrow PureScript dev branch: https://github.com/SamHH/bukubrow-webext/tree/purescript Buku: https://github.com/jarun/buku
