Show HN: MyBucket.co, a bookmarking app

This is bookmarking app that I built and run for several months now. And I'd like to know if it can be useful for HNers.

It's a point and click bookmarking tool without the busy work of tagging, etc. And yes, it does have migration tool from delicious.

Some of the nice features it have:

* There is no plugin to install. Just bookmarklet.

* The app does not ask for password.

* Bookmarked images are shown as thumbnails.

* Bookmarked videos are shown as mini-clip.

* You can come back to your bookmarks by spawning the widget, when you want to.

* full-text search on your bookmarks.

It's neat, but... I do miss tagging. Even if it's tedious, once I have a few hundred links stashed away, widly varying in nature, I'd love a way to organize them a tiny bit.

Tags were a great tool towards that goal. Not perfect, but worked well enough.

Can full-text search help you in organizing the bookmarks?

Not really, no, I'm afraid, unless I can add a description of some sort to my bookmarks (at which point, it's not much different from tagging, at least in my case) - neither the page titles, nor the urls are good search material for my use case.

Ah, MyBucket.co scrapes the whole html and indexes the text for search.

The text is put in description field which you can edit.

Perhaps that answers your concern?

Ah, I see. Hrm... that might work. I'll certainly test it for a while.

Thanks!
