• Show HN: Free Plain-Text Bookmarking

  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... - Source: Hacker News / 28 days ago

• Ask HN: Is there a spiritual successor to del.icio.us?

  This might be an unpopular opinion, but I stopped using many online cloud services because they get shut down or acquired by a big fish. Instead, I am using buku[1], a command-line utility to store, tag, search and organize bookmarks on a Linux desktop. But, it should work on any OS due to Python. All I have to do is backup a single ~/.local/share/buku/bookmarks.db SQLite file. [1] https://github.com/jarun/buku. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Open source bookmark manager?

  I played with buku. It def had a lot of good options for searching and changing tags, along with options for find archived versions of pages. But the editing was on the command line, which I found a bit overwhelming at first. I think it converts folders to tags though, which might not be what you want! Source: over 2 years ago

• [QUESTION] Tool to catalog books.?

  Thank you for your suggestions and ideas. I'm not entirely satisfied with recutils and papis. They are fine, especially papis, because I remember the days of research work with articles. But I'm looking for something more like buku. I miss some facilities that he has and I would look for something like that in an application for writing my library of books. At the moment I made an ugly buku modification, because I... Source: almost 3 years ago

• [QUESTION] Tool to catalog books.?

  I use buku for storing, selecting, searching and all other staff with bookmarks, so I had hope to find something similar to manage books collection. I swap between neomutt, neovim, nnn, tmux, buku (to find bookmarked pages and open them in firefox), so Firefox is my only graphical app that I use everyday. Libreoffice I only use when I need create some document or now to wrote books list, that's why I don't find... Source: almost 3 years ago
