Show HN: Woomarks, transfer your Pocket links to this app or self-host it

42 points - yesterday at 5:49 PM


Pocket is shutting down and I really, really liked it. So I built woomarks, an app that let's you save links with a similar UI. It's very minimal, but it's doing everything I liked from Pocket and you can bulk import your links and use the app or self-host.

- Public app that you can test: https://woomarks.com/

- My self-hosted version, where you can see my saves: https://roberto.fyi/bookmarks/

- Repository if you want to self-host: https://github.com/earlyriser/woomarks

Export links from Pocket here: https://getpocket.com/export the last day will be on October 20025.

Features: - Add/Delete links - Search - Tags - Bookmarklet (useful for a 2-click-save) - Data reads from: csv file in server (these links are public) local storage in browser (these links are visible just for the user) - Local storage saving. - Import to local storage from csv file - Export to csv from local storage. - Export to csv from csv file (useful when links are "deleted" using the app and just hidden using a local storage blacklist). - Export to csv from both places. - No external libraries. - Vanilla css code. - Vanilla js code.

    This is neat. Interesting choice of local storage - I would be afraid of using this with the risk of losing my links long term.

      I honestly really don't understand Mozilla's strategy apart from giving a massive salary to their CEOs...

      Pocket was great but I'm not sure it made much sense to buy it. What definitely didn't make sense was buying it and then barely doing anything with it.

          I thought they were buying it to protect it and make it a perennial web staple outside of the profit world, like the web archive.

              Well that would have been reasonable. Pity then that they decided to close it down when I can't imagine that a lot of engineering resources are really needed for it (plus I'm sure the monthly fees would have covered that)
