Comment on Show HN: Free Plain-Text Bookmarking

Comments

Hey folks, another option that I've settled on (after messing with shaarli, shiori and a few others) is Buku.

Usually I really like plain text instead of dbs, but the killer here for me, I realize, is that I'm not tied to any one method of input OR output. Mainly, I do adding through a bookmarklet, and retrieval through "bukuserver," a self-hosted web thing. But also, I have the option of the command line (for bulk adding) as well as browser addons and other things, and (I use Syncthing) it doesn't matter "where" the db is, either on my machine or hosted on a vps.

Interesting:

- Shiori (栞) means bookmark in Japanese

- Buku means book in Indonesian
