A browsable webpage generated from a textual database you might want to |
|
|
|
use as a browser homepage. You can edit the database by editing the file |
|
|
|
called BOOKMARKS or by running the provided script called |
|
|
|
edit_bookmarks_dmenu.sh (requires dmenu). The script can be ran from the |
|
|
|
command line but I suggest to bind it to a keystroke combination. |

the last one because of its "hide" tag. |

I have created this script because I found the bookmarks manager from |
|
|
|
firefox not great to use, to the point where I did not have the habit to |
|
|
|
bookmark my browsing. Firefox stores bookmarks in a sqlite format and I |
|
|
|
wanted something text based. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have been using the generated html page as a default landing page for |
|
|
|
three months, it has been a pleasing experience so far. |
|
|
|
bookmark my browsing journeys. Firefox stores bookmarks in a sqlite |
|
|
|
which is not human readable. Although it allows an export in json and |
|
|
|
html, I wanted something text based and personal. |

## Bookmarks database format |
|
|
|
Only a Url is required, the rest of the fields are optional : |
|
|
|
* URL : ... |
|
|
|
* Name : grabs </title> from the bookmarked page |
|
|
|
* Description : ... |
|
|
|
* URL : the url pasted from the clipboard (exits if no url given) |
|
|
|
* Name : grabs </title> from the bookmarked page with curl |
|
|
|
* Description : a description from the user |
|
|
|
* Tags : comma separated keywords |
|
|
|
* Date : posix time of the bookmarked link |
|
|
|
* Color : css color (name, hex, rgb etc...) |

located in ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua, I have the following lines: |

## Edit a bookmark : |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use your text editor of choice. Open the BOOKMARKS file and edit the |
|
|
|
entry. The last entry is at the bottom. |

B and it will save a mark to the file you can then access with ' + B |
