I appreciate the motive but this is just (currently) too difficult for saving things from mobile. I have a CRUD app that I run on Heroku that paste links into.

I have a CRUD app that I run on Heroku that paste links into. The app fetches the page, populates the title and some tags. Saved links are organised in set of hierarchical collections - works well for me.
- dimonomid 10y agoThanks for the comment. Yeah, as I indicated in the article, I actually plan to implement a native client for Android (and probably iOS), for a better user experience. Not that I'll be able to do that soon though...
- patrickdavey 10y agoInteresting. I currently have a nasty little Android app which hooks into the sharing menus. It allows me with one click to append a link into a file managed through dropbox. That file is in my vimwiki. However, I do want to have tags, and I like the idea of automating it. Scraping the title seems easy, but tagging automatically? It works well?
- charlieegan3 10y agoYeah it's good. I basically paste a URL into a section and press enter. The app then uses https://github.com/jaimeiniesta/metainspector https://github.com/jaimeiniesta/metainspector to get the title and guess at some tags based on the meta tags and title.
- stevekemp 10y agoYou might enjoy this "static" bookmark presentation tool, since you mention shared file via dropbox: https://github.com/skx/bookmarks.public https://github.com/skx/bookmarks.public I wrote it to host my own bookmarks, with tagging, and searching. As it is just a simple HTML file, and some support media, it's trivial to handle with git and allows me to keep my bookmarks up to data across browsers and hosts.
