if i bookmark something i will never look at it again

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 hours ago

You don't have to, my dude, you can set your address bar to search through them.

[-] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 6 hours ago

through titles sure. but that's not what i need from any site.

I only find my saved bookmarks randomly by typing something in the address bar and the bookmark popping up as the first result.

Isn't that the best way, though? I'm searching for something, but now I don't need to do a web search because I've saved the link to it already. And I didn't have to dig through a long list to find it.

if only there was a fuzzy content search included. usually i don't remember the page, or the topic, but just like... a quote.

that's actually a good use for this local ai stuff, take the contents of pages i bookmark and auto-tag it based on that. for that matter, archive the contents as well.

nb will do that for you whenever you create a bookmark with it.

nb embeds the page content in the bookmark, making it available for full text search with nb search and locally-served, distraction-free reading and browsing with nb browse. When Pandoc is installed, the HTML page content is converted to Markdown. When readability-cli is installed, markup is cleaned up to focus on content. When Chromium or Chrome is installed, JavaScript-dependent pages are rendered and the resulting markup is saved.

that is... pretty neat. is there some way to get it to interop with a browser's bookmarks?

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

You mean like syncing the two? Not that I know of. The most you can do is open nb bookmarks in the browser. If you know how to do any shell scripting, there's probably a way to export your browser bookmarks and then import them into nb. I'll have to research this.

Oh yeah, when it comes to bookmarks I gave up trying to organize them into folders a long time ago, and I now try to add a few keywords/tags to the description to hopefully get the bookmark when I type in the address bar now.

You are entitled to this but I don’t understand why it makes a difference if the icon is above or below the url here.

If you have bookmarks hidden, thats an argument for a pretty bookmark manager.

i use bookmarks for sites i access frequently, like a speed dial thing. i've set up my bookmarks toolbar to be in-line with the address bar and icon-only, so that it blends in with the rest of the interface. if i'm just going to go back to something one time i leave a tab open until i get time.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
