A private bookmark library for developers, as a Chrome and Edge extension.
Save docs, repos, tools, and articles from a popup. File them into collections. Open them later without digging through a bookmarks bar.
The public site is the product landing page, with a Chrome Web Store install link. Sign in, library, and account management live in the extension. The Express app behind this repo is the API and password-reset pages.
Curate is on the Chrome Web Store. Edge Add-ons is still coming soon.
- Bookmarks: title, URL, category, and tags. Open, edit, or delete from the popup.
- Collections: named groups of related links. Add bookmarks into a collection from that view.
- Accounts in the popup: register, sign in, edit profile, change password, log out, delete account.
- Private by default: links stay on your account. No public feed.
- Light and dark theme.
- Library first: the home screen is your collections and bookmarks. Forms appear when you add or edit.
