Great job. Looks like you're getting hammered with traffic right now, but I'm curious how this holds up with a few synchronized instances of Chrome.

as long as you have the extension installed, everything you bookmark will be available in the service, regardless of which instance of chrome it came from.

  Right - but I am curious about how Stashmarks handles conflict resolution, if it does. I naively assume it simply de-dupes URLs, meaning unexpected things could happen with multiple Chromes that aren't running sync or have updates queued while working offline. Please correct me if I'm wrong. (I also agree with the comment below that it's an edge case for most users, especially Chrome sync users.)

    Is this something that you would see happening on a regular basis though? how often do you bookmark the same thing multiple times in different instances of Chrome where at least 1 is offline? I agree that this is a theoretical issue that these guys should deal with, but in all practicality I can't foresee this ever being an issue with a real life user...

    URLs uniquely identify bookmarks, if two chromes have a bookmark with the same URL but different titles/tags, stashmarks will show whichever was synced first.

      Right - I'm finding that this behavior (or something related to identification) makes it finnicky to update title/tags, and changes I make in the browser don't always seem to apply, even after resetting the connection. If I edit a URL, stashmarks doesn't reflect the change in the UI, at least when the original is still pending download. Looks like it's actually changed internally. Also, I can't delete (or edit) a bookmark in stashmarks that I no longer have saved in my browser. Recreating it and deleting that does nothing, even when logged out and then in. Hope these critiques are helpful. Clearly, these are all edge cases, and overall your service is impressive.

        Thanks for the feedback, it's very helpful. We're aware that there are still a couple of quirks with the extension. We'll try to get some management in the web app soon. In the meantime if you're still having problems, feel free to mail us at support@mech.io.

  Hey, How long does it take for the bookmarks to upload? been taking a while now...
