I used to store my bookmarks, under revision control, in a simple file which I'd open locally. The data was wrapped with jQuery to make a simple filterable/searchable view. However browser changes mean that executing javascript from file:// resources no longer works. So it became less appealing: https://github.com/skx/bookmarks.public/ (Running a simple HTTP-server and opening "localhost:1234/bookmarks/" worked, but it was too annoying for me. So these days I just dumped them all to an org-mode file, ~/Org/BOOKMARKS.org, and filter/search via emacs.
In Ask HN: What Bookmark Manager (Self Hosting Only) Do You Use?
This bit me. I store my bookmarks as a file under revision control. I have a "bookmarks.js" file, and which is loaded via a local index.html file. There is some javascript magic for filtering, searching etc. As of today's upgrade opening file:///home/skx/bookmarks.html no longer loads the JS/data. Breaking the system: https://github.com/skx/bookmarks.public Adding a local webserver is fine, but it's a complication I'd managed to avoid. For reference this is the error I get: > Cross-Origin Request Blocked: > The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at > file:////home/skx/bookmarks.data. > (Reason: CORS request not http).

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. https://github.com/plainmade/unmark https://github.com/skx/bookmarks.public
In Ask HN: Do you still use browser bookmarks?
My git-based DNS hosting site is pretty simple, in terms of code, but it is enormously useful to be able to make changes to DNS with a simple git-push and keep a local history: https://dns-api.com/ In the same vain I put together a little archive for storing bookmarks under revision control: https://github.com/skx/bookmarks.public/ Finally I put together a small archive of tools which seems to be quite popular for reasons I don't fully understand: https://github.com/skx/sysadmin-util
