Somebody please write an add-on to integrate this with Pinboard, for great justice.

YES. Also if you could get it to auto-tag the URLs based on what OTHER people in pinboard used to tag it that would be awesome.

I am eagerly waiting for some contributors. :)

To be correct, I am in desperate need for some contributors, one of the main reasons behind sharing the tool on Hacker News, up-for-grabs etc. A full-time job and my 2.5 year old (Buku) take up most of my time nowadays. Somehow I still manage to work late nights and keep working on my open source projects.

Lots of bookmark managers popping up. I've added this one to the on-going list at my own bookmark manager (dog-fooding) here:

I really like this. nice work.

It'd be cool if there was a way for me to copy ("fork", sort of) a shared page of yours, into my account.

Needs a way to edit tags and comments. Otherwise fine app.

Please use the `-r` option to replace/delete tags in DB.

Please use the update option (-u) to update/delete comments for individual bookmarks.

Yeah, it's in the manual. But -u option requires supplying full URL which is very inconvinient.

I have plans to remove this. But it will take some time.

First implementation committed on master. Yo may want to take a look and if possible provide some comments directly on the commit.

Trying it now: what it needs to become part of my life is an option to edit tags, comments etc. for an entry using $EDITOR.

Shut up and take all my money!

I love Buku. Using it daily now!

Glad you find the effort useful. :)

Points for xsel integration. Information management is frustrating for me since I context shift between clients, day to day tasks, familial obligations & most of this is mostly around the browser. Eventually I suffer from tab overflow, with Chrome taking 28 of my 32 GB of RAM. OneTab autosuspends some of them, but if you write something to grab from Chrome open tabs, clustering by "time opened" (usually I'll open 3 or 4 tabs of, say, resistor spec sheets or something -- time locality is generally correlated with project for me), and the option of annotation (similar to how git does it, first line = title; anything lengthier for more elaborate stuff) and my lord would you have made my life significantly easier. If you add interop with TaskWarrior and/or emacs org-mode you'll almost certainly have a hit.

Thanks for the excellent idea. I took a note of it. This would definitely scale the project to new heights.

pypi package please!

It was a conscious decision not to submit to PyPI at the moment. PyPi is more suited for libraries than standalones. However, if we re-format the code later so it can also be extended, we'll submit to PyPI. There's already a openbug on that.
