Cool idea! How about adding functionality to open already saved bookmarks as well (and in the long run adding folders etc)? Then I could picture this becoming my main bookmarks manager.

am glad you liked it :) definitely this is on my to-do list. I am already getting back the urls but i am brainstorming on how to present them nicely on the same UI. Also to make it better i am thinking of making the filtering smarter by doing a fuzzy search instead of just (:contains).

  Have you ever used Alfred (on OSX)? Maybe take some inspiration from there? It let's you access a lot of different features by using one-key-modifiers in the search box, like: - Just type something: will search applications - Hit Space before typing: will search all files - If you just hit enter on a file it will open it, CMD+Enter will open the containing folder ..etc etc. I could picture something like this: - Selecting a folder via fuzzy search + arrow keys and hitting enter to add a bookmark - Hitting space before typing to search and open existing bookmarks - ":" in the beginning to only search folders - "." in the beginning to create a folder .. as crude examples. I might look into your project next week and maybe work on a fork for functions like this. With a bit of work I think this could become a wonderful extension!

    thats great .. ive been using alfred but really as a simple app launcher. I will try and see if i can implement some early version of theses ideas. I am also thinking of being able to search opened tabs as well. I hope you will have time as well to contribute and hopefully turn this out into something cool

      A nice search experience over some personal web space is still kind of missing. Great to see that you are continuing to explore and implement things in this space. It was fun working on some of them with you at Hackzurich.

    so ive been toying around and i managed to enable bookmarks search and added also fuzzy search. When a user hits <space> like in alfred then a symbol '|' will be attached in the beginning and he will be able to only search in urls. However, in my current implementation the performance is really bad since i do hide/show to filter out these elements. The logic has to be changed to accommodate then of thousands of bookmarks like in my case for example. If you are interested in contributing or checking the code i will push those changes into other branches in the repo.
