Interesting tool. I'm trying it out now. I had to jump through some hoops in Google's admin panel that probably had me creating some OAuth org for my personal account...

It is now syncing my messages, but very slowly. Some Async magic could probably be cool :)

It is a pity that Lazarus and FPC seems to be so hard to deploy. It is of course an open source project, so its understandable.

Lazarus and FPC is a great project. Building GUI apps like with Lazarus does not have an easy alternative, from which I'm aware.

I have tried it now on my Mac, and I have to jump through some hoops to get it going. Again a pity, its a great option.

So simple, yet so effective.

Old Systems Admins like me have been following this simple rule for decades. It's the easiest way at scale.

This looks very interesting. Thank you for the link.

It doesn't support Safari as far as I can see. An extension for Safari (especially on IOS), is quite important. This is perhaps only for me, because my general workflow tends to be quickly scanning a couple of articles that I would want to read later, and I would like to easily bookmark them from Safari.

Secondly, its self-hosted only. This is perhaps not so bad - it just means I have to put some thought into where I would host it.

But again, thank you so much for linking linkding :). I am definately quite interested in trying it out.

I completely disagree.

If the built-in bookmark systems in browsers could support tags, then I would say yes. However, it currently only supports a basic tree concept, with "folders" for links.

This is very one dimensional. I read loads of articles that talks about multiple topics. Especially Hacker News type articles :). An article can talk about, say geo-politics. As an example, perhaps an article on the recent pagers that exploded in Lebenon. This article may also be discussing some cybersecurity topics too. In this case I may want to tag it with 1->n tags.

I currently use Raindrop.io. It kinda works, but it doesn't really have what I have in mind. It also has more features than I think I need from a bookmarking app.

I kinda feel that Digg (wayback, it was one of the first 'Web 2.0' sites had a model that could work.

If I had enough motivation, I think I could probably produce a simple app that does tagging, and only tagging, with bookmarks.

It looks like a great product. I have to be honest though, I didn't read too much in detail - and this was the colour scheme seemed to "scream" at me. There is too much high-contrast colours (deep reds, etc.)

Just my humble opinion. Which I am allowed to have :)

I also had a F750GS for a year or so. It was my first bike (at age 41). It was a wonderful motorcycle, considering my lack of experience on other motorcycles.

Lightweight, not too tall (as I am relatively short at 5'7"). Capable with good performance, but not too fast.
