The reason you want something like this hosted here: /. Yahoo To Close Delicious Simply: The SaS-cloud is not to be trusted. SaS-clouds are like commercial centralized MMORPGs, you completely depend on a sole company for certain tasks. In that matter see: /. Skype down globally

iMarks - Manage YOUR bookmarks in YOUR cloud.

• Setup the server anywhere you want, even at localhost or via DynDNS.
• Tags supported :).
• Use the chrome extension to search for bookmarks, update them or add new ones.
• For search "options" see http://github.com/dougal/acts_as_indexed or enter lots of rubbish into the search field ;)

Setup

• Tested on Ruby 1.8.7. I recommend Ruby Version Manager: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/
• Requires ruby gems, 'bundler': http://gembundler.com/ and rails 3
• "gem install bundler" (only use sudo if you do not use RVM)
• "gem install rails" (only use sudo if you do not use RVM)
• "cd iMarks" go to your application's root directory
• you might need "bundle" to install required gems
• "rake db:migrate" to create database schema
• Edit app/models/user.rb. Uncomment :registerable
• "rails s -p 3010 -e production" to start the web server (I prefer passenger, do "gem install passenger" and then "passenger start -p 3010 -e production" instead of rails s (for server))
• "open http://localhost:3010/users/sign_up"
• Edit app/models/users.rb comment :registerable and restart the webserver
• "open http://localhost:3010" to use the app
• For the chrome extension installation notes see "./_clients/README.rdoc"
• For now you may edit the iframe's src attribute to match it to the domain/IP you run iMarks server on
• If you are on a mac, checkout the supplied applescript os x application in ./_launcher

Known Bugs

• "name already taken" for some tag savings (for instance if you supply a (new) tag name twice on bookmark creation)

  • Bookmark categories/collections (Like Tags)

  • Tags as a tree: http://www.example.com /w tags: Example, Dummy and http://127.0.0.1 /w tags: Dummy, Localhost (also see acts_as_nested_set)

  • Advanced search by filtering tag tree - Closed:

    [+] Dummy [+] Example [+] Localhost

  • Advanced search by filtering tag tree - Fully expanded:

    [-] Dummy - http://www.example.com - http://127.0.0.1 [-] Example - http://www.example.com [-] Localhost - http://127.0.0.1 [-] Example - http://www.example.com [-] Dummy - http://www.example.com [-] Localhost - http://127.0.0.1 [-] Dummy - http://127.0.0.1
