Bookmark sync support? about bookmark-tagging HOT 8 OPEN

Hi @lsimone, the limitation with the current implementation is its use of indexedDB. Your proposal of using bookmark to store tag is a good idea, and I think store all bookmarks in one folder, and store all tags and bookmark IDs in another folders may be the way to go. When the app is loaded, it will load all tags and bookmark IDs and the subsequent operation will be in memory.

I don't have any time to work on this extension for the next 3 months. If you're interested in helping out, please fork it and request merge once it's done, and your name will be mentioned on the github repository and chrome store.

The code that you may need to change should be restricted to bookmark-repository.js, tag-group-repository.js, and bookmark-loader.js.

No, it doesn't sync the bookmarks across machines. It stores the bookmark in the indexedDB maintained by your browser. Chrome may not support syncing of indexedDB in the distant future because indexedDB's capacity is determined by the available space in your storage drive.

Thanks for clarification.

Bummer to hear that. At least for me, cross-machine support is more important to ensure than tagging.

hello @yguan , the @orschiro concern is mine too: I think synchronization is the most important feature this extension lacks.
there is another chrome extension that stores the bookmarks into multiple folders (one for each tag), so that, native Chrome synchronization will bring in all your machines your tagged bookmarks library.

Isn't it an interesting enhancement idea?

Since I really appreciate your work, I would also propose to contribute, if you need help.
have a nice day!

Hi @yguan ,
did you ever have a look at: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/storage ?
It can be another implementation idea.

from bookmark-tagging.

Yes. The problem with storage is the max capacity is 102,400 bytes.

uhm...isn't that enough for a reasonable bookmarks collection?

Any update on this?

By the way, I came across https://github.com/akshaykumar90/savory, which looks like it will allow sync support ... but it doesn't appear to be very finished or usable yet.
