@betula are there browser adons for it, to for example automatically save bookmarks there if the shortcut for creating a bookmark in the browser is pressed?

@bgtlover there's a bookmarklet. It works like this: you add a special bookmark to the browser bookmark bar which you click when you want to save a page; a little window pop ups where you edit data if you want and press Save. I'm pretty sure it can be bound to a hotkey somehow, though not exactly sure how.

As for the browser extension, there were some private developments, but the author didn't share, so we don't have one currently.

@betula I mean, I know that the browser's way of saving a bookmark is bound to a shortcut, for example firefox has ctrl+d, and ctrl+b to view them. Is it possible for this platform to hook into that?

Betula

@bgtlover I've written up a lengthy explanation on bookmarklets: garden.bouncepaw.com/hypha/bet

I hope it helps you!

TL;DR: you can save pages with a hotkey. My hotkey is Cmd+Alt+1.

@betula ahh, so a different way of doing bookmarks. Sure, it feels kinda clunky, but well...it works. Also, is there a way to import all my browser bookmarks into this at once?

Betula

@bgtlover no way that I know of. Perhaps one could write a script that made HTTP requests or modified the Betula database directly. Import from browsers was thought of before but not implemented yet.

Do you have many browser bookmarks?

bgtlover

@betula yeah, about 500, on this device alone. Perhaps afew more on another device, others on another. No, I don't use firefox sync, for privacy reasons, basically because I can't self-host it.

Betula

@bgtlover cool! You really need a Betula haha. I suppose you use Firefox bookmark tags?

If you send me a bookmark export file I'll take a look and see if it can be imported easily.

bgtlover

@betula tags? nah, my stuff is an unorganised mess, all in the all bookmarks folder lol

Betula

@bgtlover you do need a Betula 😱😱 It really invites you to organize

bgtlover replied to Betula

@betula yeah, I probably do haha. Is it generally accessible to screenreaders and other assistive technologies?

Betula replied to bgtlover

@bgtlover I did my best to make it accessible.
