Replaces these SaaS

  • Raindrop.io · Bookmark manager / collection-organized

    `pip install buku`. Export Raindrop bookmarks as Netscape HTML (Settings → Backups → HTML) and run `buku --import raindrop.html`. Buku's killer feature is the CLI — `buku --search 'self host'` is faster than any GUI. Pair with `bukubrow` (browser extension) or `oil` (TUI) if you want a UI; sync the SQLite database via Syncthing for cross-device.
