Common Lisp bookmark converter when browser sync already handles this.

  • •Easy filter extension via documented function pattern in source code
Weaknesses
  • •Zero stars, no binary releases — requires SBCL and Quicklisp setup
  • •Browser sync and extensions already solve cross-device bookmark management
Target Audience

Post Description

Small cli program I made to convert and modify bookmark files. Supports converting between json and netscape bookmark file format (default formatted exported by chrome/firefox).

I created this because I have a lot of bookmarks across devices that I want to batch edit/delete and I can't always just directly modify the local browser db.

Not many filters implemented so far, but I made it easy to add filters see: https://github.com/ediw8311xht/cl-bookmark-tool/blob/main/sr...
