Feature request: automatically save from Chrome bookmarks

Open fr0der1c opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

I'm preparing to use wallabagger as a web page archive storage. I have a lot of bookmarks in Chrome. It would be nice if wallabagger can track bookmarks and automatically archive them. How about adding this feature?

Hi! That is a good idea! But I think that one time import of big amount of bookmarks better to implement in the wallabag itself. Something like "import chrome bookmarks" button

I'm new to wallabag so I'm not sure how they implement the crawler. Without reading the code, I think it is generally fine to import a big amount of bookmarks at a time if the number of worker processes is fixed. (However, if their strategy is to open a new process after receiving each task without any limitation, I think it's a design problem of wallabag. Or perhaps implement throttling on the wallabagger side.)

I think an import button is great. But that's different from the syncing. Syncing means a link will be archived automatically after it is added to the Chrome bookmarks, in case the post would be deleted in the future.
