Bookmark search tool

[ccorcos]

I've always wanted a better bookmark search tool. I have hundreds of them and I hate labeling them with searchable tags. I want to search their metadata!

This looks like the perfect project to fork into a simple command line app.

Basically I just want to index my bookmarks (given some format: Safari, Chrome, Firefox, JSON, etc.) and then be able to search them. It would also be nice to save a snapshot. It will also be super badass to do this all through the command line too!

Anyways, I'm curious if anyone here wants to help me with this since I'm not terribly familiar with all the work that has been done here. I hope someone will agree that this is a pretty awesome tool. This is a very simple extension of what has already been implemented here.

I'd appreciate any help or any suggestions on how to get started.

Thanks

Bookmarks do generally seem like one of those problems that is "solved", and then suddenly somebody stumbles across a way to make them better.

If you make a start on the project yourself, Im sure people will help you out to keep it moving forward.

Great idea @ccorcos . If you start by forking or hacking the the norch-fetch module?

Figure out a way to easily feed all the url's from a bookmark list/file. The fetcher will download all the html-files to a local folder. Then you need to set up an adapter for the norch-document-processor. Start with the adapter-simple.js This will give you json to feed into the index with the norch-indexer

We're also having some ideas on "Index your life", and this would be a nice start on than.
