Scrapyard

A Scrapbook alternative for Firefox Quantum.

This is a development page. Please visit the main site at: https://gchristensen.github.io/scrapyard/

Background

Since the departure of Scrapbook I have converted all my Scrapbook stuff into an org-mode based wiki, but it was very painful to add bookmarks there. Because I needed a bookmark manager with some org-mode goodness which I would be able to control from iShell, I decided to rewrite vctfence's ScrapBee from scratch to obtain the desired features.

It is hard to believe, but it is 2020s now, and it is time to abandon XML-based RDF and move towards databases, JSON and cloud services. For an advanced user Scrapyard may become a cloud bookmarking solution of choice. Please see the online help for more details.
