Does anyone know of a service that saves and manages bookmarks and links. Like one that would work from android/ipad/desktop.

Is this a thing?

firefox sync has worked pretty great for me, across all devices. I don’t self host it, but seems like once again, they’ve gotten it to the point where you can.

Firefox sync works great, but too many steps to bookmark on android if you want to use the same folder as the one on desktop.

Plus you can’t add tags in Android.

Works great, go to sign in to sync, create a firefox account. login on all your devices, bookmarks show up, you can send tabs to other devices, you can see open tabs on other devices. Password Managers works great also, just set a master password to lock passwords

Yeah with the official servers. I was talking about the self-hosted version of sync.

I would love a self hosted version that I could just point my Firefox to, with actual logs and a way to verify it’s working besides tabs appearing on other devices.

edit: wtf the word "a w e s o m e " is converted into ( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻) when I paste or type it. Is this coming from kbin or have I installed something weird on my computer?

Thats another way I was thinking as I tailscail my devices.

Do you have your next cloud ‘drive’ backed up? I’ve been meaning to set up next cloud but want a way to back up specific folders/drives. I’ve yet to really look into backing up my nas.
