Forgot about CORS regarding those titles, so I guess a bookmarket or browser extension is required that passes the title along with the URL as a parameter. Or like with favicons, a separate service that parses titles.

Thanks. I didn't know about this. I'll look into it.

Linking to a tag or several tags is already possible though. It's just not obvious since you don't see those URLs in normal use.

Thanks for checking Safari.

Technically it should be possible to fetch the page and parse the title tag. It's hard to know when to do that if there's an editable URL field. With a browser extension and a "?add=URL" parameter (see the question from g4k) it would work better.

I'm not familiar with remoteStorage.js. Dropbox I chose simply because it's popular, many people already have an account and trust them, so it's a low barrier to use something that uses Dropbox.

No, not content, just the titles of bookmarks. If you have a lot of bookmarks, it might be faster to use the search box. It's search-as-you-type, e.g. if you have a bookmark titled "Hacker News", you can probably just type "hac" and press Enter.

For adding bookmarks? No, not yet, but I figured if it get's popular I'd add a URL parameter, e.g. "?add=URL", document that, provide a bookmarklet and maybe let others write browser-specific extensions.

Hello. Bort is a web application I made for website bookmarks and search. It's fully client-side JavaScript with bookmarks saved in browser's local database (IndexedDB or WebSQL via PouchDB) and synced via a JSON file in user's own Dropbox across both devices and browsers.

Any feedback is welcome. In particular, since I don't have a Mac at hand, I'd like to know if it works on Safari, and if so, which version. Unlike other tested browsers, PouchDB uses WebSQL instead of IndexedDB on Safari.

You can. In my experience, for good quality, it's best to output graphics from R as PDF and if you need a rasterized version, do that separately with pdftoppm or something with a dpi chosen based on where it will be shown.
