Show HN: GhostMark – A bookmark manager that uses GitHub Gists as its database (github.com)

I wanted a dead-simple cross-device bookmark manager without setting up a real database.

GhostMark uses a "secret" GitHub Gist as the backend - free, no infrastructure, and surprisingly fast. The whole thing is a single 200-line serverless function on Vercel.

Features: - PWA that works offline and installs to home screen - CLI for terminal users (ghostmark -l <url>) - iOS Scriptable integration for quick saves from Share Sheet - No dependencies (native fetch only)

Total stack: 1 JS file + 1 JSON gist.

Feedback welcome! - especially from anyone who's used Gist for unconventional storage before.
