Ask HN: Self-hosted bookmarks application

7 points by pixelHD ↗ HN
Hello!

I have close to 5000 bookmarks on chrome, and I'm looking to self-host a bookmarking application. Any suggestions?

- It needs to be able to parse chrome bookmarks export (the netscape format which most if not all browsers support).

- Handle large amounts of links.

- Have a decent authentication functionality (login/logout enough).

I know I have a quite too many bookmarks, and a good chance that I may never use most of them. Indulge me nevertheless.

I've already tried using

- Shaarli : https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli

It can't parse my chrome bookmarks. Which I'm assuming is due to some malformed URL, or special characters. I could try to fix it, but I have far too many to check.

- unmark : https://github.com/cdevroe/unmark

I'm constantly hitting database issues, either the sql_mode is incompatible, or something else. I've had to modify some of the php code to get it working (login screen), but I have little to no experience with php, and it needs more fixing to get it working on my machine (doesn't go past login, multiple issues).

- wallabag : https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag

Its more of a replacement for pocket than a bookmarking application.

Thanks!
