What does HackerNews think of buku?

:bookmark: Personal mini-web in text

Language: Python

#32 in Terminal
https://github.com/jarun/buku is a powerful bookmark manager and a personal textual mini-web.
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. All I have to do is backup a single ~/.local/share/buku/bookmarks.db SQLite file.

I've been burned at least 3-4x now by bookmark sites shutting down, I just stick with Buku now: https://github.com/jarun/buku

Local, text/cli based, sqlite.

There's also a similar project buku (https://github.com/jarun/buku). I've been using buku for a while given its mature ecosystem around decoupled search-and-viz server, fantastic browser extension, easy browser importing, rich meta-information management et al. The buku server ideally would make sense to be local, and there enters LinkAce.

Although I believe LinkAce has slightly different goals than buku, more around preservability and portability :)

I have a side project called Bukubrow. It's a WebExtension that plugs into Buku, a CLI bookmark manager.

I'm currently rewriting it in PureScript. It's hard to get pure functional programming's foot in the door at work - understandably, the business case against it is reasonable given our employee demographics (i.e. mostly Java devs) - so this is the next best way to learn.
