TL;DR

I used Claude Code to build a standalone web thing to manage bookmarks.

It’s at https://darcynorman.net/bookmarks/

I’ve also shared the code in case it’s useful to anyone. It’s AI Slop, with no warranty or support or whatever.

Back in the olden days, I was a pretty heavy user of the del.icio.us web bookmarking service¹. Then, it was acquired by Yahoo! and sold, then relaunched, then mothballed, then who knows? It’s been offline for awhile. I stopped using it somewhere in the Yahoo! era - I didn’t feel like feeding Yahoo!² so in 2013 I started using an open source bookmarking application called SemanticScuttle.
