htmls-to-datasette VS Espial

Note that SingleFile can be coupled with https://github.com/pjamar/htmls-to-datasette to index saved pages.

SingleFile browser extension pits any webpage into a handy .html file (https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile). I wrote htmls-to-datasette for search and serving them but it is still in a sorry state although it works (https://github.com/pjamar/htmls-to-datasette).

There you are: https://github.com/pjamar/htmls-to-datasette/tree/main/docker but no documentation.

Got my first functional version. In case anyone is interested: https://github.com/pjamar/htmls-to-datasette

Tangentially, I would recommend exporting your Pinboard collection periodically to somewhere safe. The service has gotten sketchy in the last year or two. I transitioned mine to a self-hosted instance of Espial.

An alternative, one that I began using a year ago after losing confidence in Pinboard is the self-hosted Espial - https://github.com/jonschoning/espial.

The visual presentation is a near complete clone of Pinboard. It also provides a route for Pinboard import.

Link repository - I use a self-hosted instance of Espial, but again the technology is unimportant. I mention this only because one of the philosophies of the Zettelkasten is to avoid the collector's fallacy where just by saving something you think you know it. So links go here if I might want to find it again in the future but I don't have time to think about it now or take notes on it into the ZK.

Saving URL's: For the most part, I don't like existing built-in bookmarking solutions in most browsers, because they seem to treat metadata cursorily or just ignore it. I've started using Espial which is a self-hosted Pinboard knock-off that allows me to tag and comment on URL's that I save.

you could run my self-hosted bookmarking site locally (which includes basic notes) https://github.com/jonschoning/espial

I actively avoid super general code in my Haskell applications.

Here's some code to add a bookmark in an api controller:
