Comment on Ask HN: Do you curate links/bookmarks?

Comments

I use Firefox Developer Edition as my primary browser and Firefox Sync to store and sync bookmarks across devices.

I have made 95%(2000+) of my bookmarks public on GitHub[0]. I have categorized them and host them on a public repository(110+ forks, ~1800 stars) and push every week. I have also made the entire repo available as a GitBook with search and export as PDF functionality.

Looks cool!

Search (especially incremental) is very important, there's no way I'm going to read through someone else's 2000+ bookmarks, whereas searching for topics that interest me is feasible.

Wondering why you publish both gitbook and mdbook? I was planning to use mdbook to release my bookmarks to public; gitbook development has stalled as far as I understand.

I am learning Rust at the moment. I used to use that repo to try new things out. For example, to play with GitHub's API(the github-gitlab-stars.md file was created using a bunch of Python scripts, requests library), or learning branching and pipelines(Currently I am using Travis CI to build mdbook from another branch), etc. Initially, when I didn't know about GitBook or Static Site Generators, I made a Django App with search functionality and stuff out of those links.
