Just learning it exists and it's something I could never found a good software for. And it supports saving things with the excellent SingleFile.

I'm definitely going to give it a try, although as a Firefox user the workflow is going to be a bit less nice.

EDIT: just tried it, it's very nice. Right now, the UI makes it a bit better than just using in SingleFiles, but not enough to justify $50.

However, if this would become a way to fully manage my Firefox bookmarks, I would pay for this, in the spirit of https://www.bitecode.dev/p/i-checked-if-browsers-could-cache.

Right now, the UI to manage the bookmarks sucks. Plus there is no way to:

- save their content for offline reading - search their content

This means it's are very hard to get value out of them.

Singlefile supports batch saving URLs to local storage.

Right-click on the webpage > select Singlefile > choose "Batch save URLs".

Using this method, I have converted hundreds of my bookmarks into html files.

I also think that Hamsterbase is not worth $60, so I offered a free trial. Only after it is released on iOS and Android will I consider charging.

Going to check this out.

FYI - your Obsidian and Logseq links on the honmepage are swapped.

I love this! Gonna try it out over the next couple of days.
