Static Bookmark Generation

Mar 30, 2021

I want to be able to automatically generate bookmarks/links page from a flat file (csv, text, yml…) since I seem to have a link hoarding problem.

As of yet, I am not sure if I want to maintain two separate dumps for webclips/snippets vs. websites/software.

The final solution should ideally include:

  • fuzzy search
  • categorization: software, websites (git repos, resources, tools, fun), articles, (e)books

Ideas

Static Marks

Static Marks converts a list of resources (YML) into a single HTML file. Includes a live search bar, “pages” of html from different YML sources, custom theming, and an import browser bookmarks function.

Maybe I’ll revisit this at a later date.

// removed from package.json
 "dependencies": {
   "static-marks": "^2.2.5"
 }

// removed from package-lock.json
 "dependencies": {
   "static-marks": "^2.2.5"
 }

# removed from amplify.yml
build:
  commands: ...
    - mkdir public/marks
    - ./node_modules/.bin/static-marks build bookmarks/*.yml > public/marks/index.html
Putting this on hold for now.
