This is awesome! I wish I had seen it years ago.
I also wish the Chrome team would finally do something about the miserable bookmarking functionality in all versions of Chrome. There's no reason for it to be so featureless. Just adding some simple tweaks would make it so much more useful:
Sortable table:
- Name
- Summary (Same as presented in a search)
- Date added,
- Last date visited,
- Domain
- Path,
- Thumbnail / favicon
- Meta data: published, author, opengraph/Twitter info metadata, feed.
- Editable Notes
Additional basic features:
- Quick list of most recent bookmarks
- Quick List of most used bookmarks
- Duplication detection
- Embedded videos for YouTube vids
- Online access for editing and management, sharing and broken/dead link detection.
Throw some ads in there as well if that's what Google is worried about. It's just a huge oversight on their part to ignore such a fundamental feature for over a decade. Same for Mozilla.
There's already so much data stored about your browsing activity, this is just a matter of UI, not any major internal dev effort.
Interesting internal pages:
- chrome://site-engagement/
- chrome://media-engagement/
- chrome://offline-internals/
- chrome://snippets-internals/
- andirk 4y agoEvery time i see someone's bookmarks, its a huge unending unsorted list. Have we all given up on bookmarks? And what's Pocket?
- kragen 4y agoMy bookmark file has hashtags, dates, and summaries, so I can grep it (or isearch it in Emacs). That's enough to be extremely useful.
