Ps: I'm in France

Meh.

Thank you. :-)

Well... Shaarli. Dead simple to install, no fuss. https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli

I have been using it for the past 15 years with great satisfaction.

sebsauvageon RSS-Bridge – The RSS feed for websites missing it

Thanks (spoiler: I'm the author of this text. I'm the author of the first version of RSS-Bridge, which has since been beautifuly expanded by the community).

sebsauvageon FairEmail: Open-source, privacy friendly email app for Android

I have been using this email app for months, with 4 different email providers. It works like a charm, it's snappy, and privacy-oriented (preview links before opening them, block pixel tracking, and lot of other clever features.)

Oh and the developer is very active (several versions a week), very kind and answers very quickly.

One of the best bargains. (I bought the full version)

sebsauvageon Ivy – A stress-free way to get things done

Oh great ! Another company who will gather my private data.

No thanks.

sebsauvageon Block Ads in Apps on Android

I also did this: https://sebsauvage.net/wiki/doku.php?id=dns-blocklist-en

sebsauvageon Keybase is out for iPhone, Android

And Keybase desktop apps are freely downloadable from French IPs, so... ?

sebsauvageon Keybase is out for iPhone, Android

Signal, Telegram, WhatsApp, PGP, RetroShare and other are freely available in France.

Most notably PGP has been available in France for decade and has never received any form of approval as far as I know.

sebsauvageon Keybase is out for iPhone, Android

Oh great... the application is not available in France (!). GooglePlay refuses to let me download the app. And the website does not provide a direct link to the apk (only direct links to desktop apps).

Will I have to download the app from dubious third-party stores ? :-(

sebsauvageon Delicious.com is del.icio.us again

I was SO fed up with all the bullshit and problems at delicious (and so dispointed by alternatives like Diigo) that I wrote my own, Shaarli.

Never again I'm going to trust another service for storing and sharing my links.

sebsauvageon A dead-simple GoogleReader replacement

Don't forget to enable javascript feed updates in configuration.

BTW, I'm not the author of KrissFeed, just a happy user :-)

sebsauvageon How Large Will the Paid Feed Reader Market Be?

Did you try Kriss Feed ? Opensource, single php file, fast, no database needed, works great on mobiles, keyboard shortcuts, OPML import/export...

https://github.com/tontof/kriss_feed

I love it.

sebsauvageon Programmatic Art

A few years ago I wrote WebGobbler (Gallery here: http://sebsauvage.net/webgobbler/). (My program would deserve an update.)

At the bottom of the page, I also listed a few more generative art projects.

sebsauvageon Show HN: Klipbook, a new online bookmarking tool

Thanks :-)

Oh, and thanks for the bug report regarding the cookie path. I did not pinpoint this behaviour before. (And I currently lack time to update Shaarli.)

For the archival feature, you use the export option (in tools menu), then import it later to restore. Or you can backup all files located in the "data" subdirectory.

Shaarli grew too fast and I did not expect to have so many people interested in it (This is a typical scratch-an-itch project). I plan a complete rewrite, with multi-users support and many other features (I have a heavy to-do/feature request list :-)

sebsauvageon Show HN: Klipbook, a new online bookmarking tool

I used to be a delicious user. Their export was broken for several months, and they did not show signs of wanting to fix it. I had to write a Python script to backup my data by parsing their HTML pages.

Regarding Diigo, their Firefox extension sends every visisted URL to their server. Thanks for the respect of my privacy.

Enough is enough.

sebsauvageon Show HN: Klipbook, a new online bookmarking tool

Good to know you're working on it.

In my experience, Netscape bookmarks html export worked better. But even then I experienced a lot of broken exports from online bookmarking services. This is a pain. Good luck with that.

sebsauvageon Show HN: Klipbook, a new online bookmarking tool

Looks nice, but again...:

  * another closed source service ?
  * Are there import/export options ?
  * There is not even a RSS feed ?

Sorry for looking like parasiting a topic, but I need to rant: I'm sick of close-source online bookmarking services, especially when I can't import/export all my data. So I'm moving away from them. I want to have control. This my data.

I developed my own bookmarking application, Shaarli (opensource, bookmarklet, html import/export, private links, tag cloud, picture wall, "daily" digest and many other features). http://sebsauvage.net/wiki/doku.php?id=php:shaarli

My own instance is: http://sebsauvage.net/links/

I don't say hosted services are bad, but I'm definitely done with them.
