Shaarli - Personal and minimalist bookmarking service
Shaarli is a self-hosted bookmark manager that is easy to install and use, which does not require a database.
Shaarli is a collection of scripts written in PHP that can be installed by simply dropping the scripts into a directory managed by the web server.
The configuration is done by connecting directly to the web page.
The main feature of Shaarli is that it does not require a database, but all the data is stored in an encrypted text file.
Shaarli supports the association of tags to each bookmark.
The list of tags is automatically generated and can be shown in various formats.
It also supports public and private bookmarks, ATOM and RSS feeds, plugins and themes.
The list of possible usages of the tool, selected from the documentation, include:
- share, comment and save interesting links
- bookmark useful/frequent links and share them between computers
- implement a minimal blog/microblog/writing platform
- read-it-later/todo list
- a notepad to draft and save articles/posts/ideas
- a knowledge base to keep notes, documentation and code snippets
- a shared clipboard/notepad/pastebin between computers
- playlist manager for online media
- feed other blogs, aggregators, social networks
I maintain my personal Shaarli bookmark share.
