    Bookmark manager for the wizards 🧙

  • Hello there! I'm Robert, the creator of Grimoire.

    I'm very flattered by such good observations and the warm welcome for this project. I won't be able to respond to every comment from you guys, but you bet I will read them all and take notes!

    For now, Grimoire is at 1/10 of its potential, and I will work hard to make it worthy of being a good contender for your default bookmark manager. Definitely, it's missing many features, like a dedicated browser extension, import/export capabilities, and better documentation, and I'm well aware of that.

    Was the launch rushed? Maybe, but I thought it would be great to hear your opinions and perhaps even appeal to some potential contributors (wink wink).

    For now, I want to address the most common issues that prevent some of you from even running and testing it (clearly an oversight on my side). Then I will write a blog post on https://grimoire.pro to answer some of your questions and doubts, so (if not now, but maybe in the not-too-distant future), give it a chance.

    Thank you again, and big kudos to user hunderbong for mentioning Grimoire on HN!

  • markdownload

    A Firefox and Google Chrome extension to clip websites and download them into a readable markdown file.

  • My perfect bookmark manager is Markdownload https://github.com/deathau/markdownload

    Just save the complete page, only selected text or only the link to a markdown file or Obsidian. With downloaded, linked or without pictures. My OS and Obsidian can search those files, they have more (automatically added) metadata.

    I can even edit them in the browser: add your thoughts, tags or change the name of the file before they are saved.

    I can (automatically) do with them what ever I need. They can be used to (automatically) generate an always up to date start page or a data vault on GitHub.

    My local AI assistant can parse them.

    Local, versatile, permanent, flexible, cost effective, future save. No need for a bookmark manager.

  • docs.rs

    crates.io documentation generator

  • I've found I manually type out certain subsets of URLs where possible[0], maybe that's subconsciously associated with my impression that Google Search results have gotten worse and worse over the years.

    [0] https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ and https://docs.rs/ come to mind.

  • omnivore

    Omnivore is a complete, open source read-it-later solution for people who like reading.

  • I used to use Pocket extensively until I realized it wasn't going anywhere with features. I have since moved to Omnivore [1] and I couldn't be happier.

    The devs are also ex-Pocket users and have worked hard to get feature parity and then some. There are mobile apps too for reading on the go (and work offline) which I use extensively when I am on flights. There is a graphql API and webhooks you can use for extending its functionality. Search could be a little better, but I use the labeling system which works well. I also use the logseq integration to keep a persistent log of articles I read on any given day.

  • WorkOS
