Strategic thoughts on bookmark (and other) syncing about floccus HOT 5 CLOSED

My goals are simpler than yours. I am trying to find a way to replace the functionality that X-Marks provides in Chrome and it's derivatives. I don't care about syncing to Android. I'd like the same sync X-Marks does but on my NextCloud server instead of theirs. Floccus is getting very close. The only thing I don't like about it so far is the need to have a separate root folder distinct from the browser's root bookmarks. I have no need to sync to multiple NC instances, just simple sync to one. It's an interesting project.

@TRSx80 Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Regarding the phenomenon of projects or groups moveing into undesirable directions compared to those originally conceived, I think it is closely related to the notion of simple maximizers. I'm also very interested in ways to bring the unix philosophy back to modern day computer usage, I think it's very sad that we've lost it.
Inevitably, when creating software, one needs to decide the time frame of usefulness of the software. A sustainable long-term solution is probably not useful to everyone immediately, but has many advantages in the long run. My goal with this project is to scratch an itch, though. It's supposed to be an immediate (hah, the irony, considering the time that has passed since I've started this) solution to a closely confined problem. Still, I completely agree with you, the solution might not be what people actually need in contrast to what they want. :)

I'm closing this, as I feel we've come closer to the described workflow with WebDAV syncing and the advances of chrome-based mobile browsers that are starting to implement web extension support :Tada:
