scroll-to-text-fragment VS Shaarli

There were some privacy concerns, regarding leaking of user information: https://github.com/WICG/scroll-to-text-fragment/issues/76

This doesn't make sense. There is no mystery about how scroll-to-text fragments should work. They're documented e.g. here: https://github.com/WICG/scroll-to-text-fragment

It's call "Text Fragments", and it was introduced to Chrome more than one year ago. https://github.com/WICG/scroll-to-text-fragment

I think it works in Chrome and Edge, but not in Firefox.

I kind of want to be able to upvote this post three times: once for the actual projects (which sound really cool!); once for introducing me to the term/joke "rakit"; and once for teaching me about the scroll to text fragment API – I had no idea that was a thing!

The most disturbing example of this I found recently is the new auto-highlighting feature Google proposed to the W3C then YOLO'd into chromium before people's concerns were met, because they have control of it and don't need industry approval to get that to happen. Here's an example convo with some of these topics raised.

Per web.dev, it is for Chromium based-browsers and other browsers have not signaled intent to support. This is quite a rabbit hole. Very recently there has been some spec discussion if you follow links in the pages I've linked here.

I see your pinboard and I raise one Shaarli

Hi HN! I feel that the state of this small project of mine is advanced enough to be shared here.

I created this thing because I was growing frustrated of how Shaarli (https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli) worked (but I don't remember why now, though).

Share-links is fairly simple; you add links, maybe tags and a description, and it store them on a small django website, that you can share to your friends too (I'm missing the "links" page on personal websites that made me discover a lot of cool websites).

However, it allow you some more features (favicons before links, autofetch lang & title, basic comment system, multiple users, basic search, highlight posts...) that may interest you.

I'm using an instance since 1 and half year, and it's been great to store the links I find interesting on the web! (I don't took the time to add tags & comments to my links, but I use the search feature a lot).

I hope some of you will start using this project and suggest new features :)

(sorry for my bad english, I'm writing this in a hurry before leaving the computer)

(don't worry if my own instance is down, it's selfhosted and I have a very bad upstream)

I use Shaarli for links, and I have an agent network that, among other things, throws links I want to save into a Wallabag install for archival and reference.

I'm currently using Shaarli installed on a Freeddom Box self hosted on my LAN

How does it compare to shaarli ?
