The Betula bookmark manager and the Mycorrhiza wiki engine are among my favourite apps. They both use mycomarkup and are easy to self-host. Give them a spin.

My main problem with bookmarks that I forget about them. I don't need a bookmark keeping service, I need one which would bring them forward when I look for something, based on context too. Something like which also makes a plain text searchable snapshot of the page? Maybe LLMs can solve that.

Certainly interesting. I had a similar project under works; I first looked at ActivityPub for federation but couldn't wrap my head around it. I settled on using some naive HTTP / REST for it, ie. just having one instance send queries to other linked instances when searching the whole network. The "federation" then would be kind of a whitelist model where each admin chooses their own outward peers / who to follow.
I didn't end up completing the project, though. I lost the code once due to an unfortunate home directory accident. I also worked both the front and backends at the same time, which slowed things down. Additionally, it was more of a hobby project where I was just learning the tech stack.
The end goal was sort of a small federation of independent indexes of good-quality webpages, which could function as a search tool for use cases such as finding different alternatives in a certain product category. Search results would be ranked based on how many linked instances save the links.
I might end up trying Betula, but it doesn't really seem to fulfill my ideal. I'm fine with Raindrop too, search works, and publishing my bookmarks is not a passion of mine.

Looks great, there doesn’t appear to be an associated browser extension. What are the thoughts on a browser extension alternative of this?

What's wrong with browser bookmarks?

Oh nice. I have a static html page I maintain on my website. the simplicity of maintaining that can't be beat, but it would be nice to give other people an easier way of following that if they'd like.

Misread it as “federated bookmaking software for the independent web” and thought “Yes, a useful application of blockchain!”

Lately I've been more in favor of making notes with hyperlinks in markdown over bookmarks as I can search those better with vscode and will have more context to what those links are used for.

I like it, but not sure what I think about creating an additional fediverse presence. Consolidating makes more sense than adding more feeds, IMO.

Any etymology other than "female virgin" in hebrew?

cool, but I don't see the point of it being federated. My bookmarks are just stuff I might want to see again, probably not very interesting to anyone else
so I can hardly see the benefit of them going off and propagating throughout the entire known universe

It be nice if there is a way to sync this with mastodon

I have long been eager to leave Pinboard. This is the first viable alternative I've seen: written in reasonable languages, storage through Sqlite and not some burdensome db server, self-hostable without any docker BS. Very promising!
