   So many bugs to fix

   The idea of a productivity based browser is great but since this browser is still new, it has trouble with a lot of things. Sometimes it doesn't open a new tab when i try, sometimes web apps don't open, and overall its not a smooth experience that i could recommend to people

   🏁 Competitors: Vivaldi, Mozilla Firefox, Brave

   👍 Pros:    Everything you need is in the homepage|Looks really pretty|Focuses on productivity|Has control over ram usage and data|A search option that searches all throughout your history, bookmarks, web and everything

   👎 Cons:    A buggy performance|Short term freezes|Might need some time getting used to the web apps

  I've been developing frontend in-memory graph DB / state manager for 1) replication 2) incremental sync 3) fast rendering (without VDOM/react). Used in https://seesu.me & https://meetsidekick.com (where I was 1st engineer). Source: over 1 year ago

• Making Twitter likes/bookmarks backup tool as side quest of browser that saves everything

  To make snapshot it takes current state of DOM, current state of styles (to capture CSS-in-JS stuff), take resources like font/images from network storage (Chrome Dev Tools protocol) and saves it as HTML on disk.

• Enlightenmentware

  I really like the buku terminal bookmark manager. https://github.com/jarun/buku I like that I can just `man buku` when I don't understand something and I can actually find the answer I'm looking for. - Source: Hacker News / 16 days ago

• 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 / 2 months 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.

  I personally use Buku: https://github.com/jarun/buku/ Works pretty well for me, specially with its web frontend (bukuserver). Source: about 2 years ago
