WebCrate helps you organize and share links, articles and more from around the web in a central place. It's open source & can be easily self-hosted thanks to your own personal cloud in Deta Space. It's more than just a bookmarking tool.
Congrats on the launch 🎉
I was using Microletter and bumped into Webcrate on deta.
Since 19th of this month I'm using Webcrate.
Things I love about Webcrate :
- PWA which removes friction in accessing bookmarks on mobile.
- Can change title & description
- Search by description
?makers Got to ask you mate. Why there aren't any bookmarking on mobile support from any bookmarking tools?
@xplainist Thanks for the kind words! Amazing that you were using Microletter before and discovered WebCrate on your own! An early early adopter :D
I'm sorry, but what do you mean by the last question? Why other bookmarking tools don't have mobile support?

@betahuhn :) early early adapter😋
What I meant was, it's cumbersome to bookmark something on mobile. Every bookmarking tools like Pinboard or for example Webcrate provides extensions, but extensions won't work on mobile.
I can use:
- Notion clipper for mobile which clips whole page
- Google keep (Too much manual work later on)
- Evernote
- Pocket
- Onenote
But they are not made with bookmarking in mind.
So to keep it simple but powerful I connected Google sheets - Google apps script - Google forms (to catalogue, tag, comment, date, time) - bookmarklet on Chrome mobile.
It was tiring to implement as I have no clue about coding. The result was sweet though. The closest to that sweetness is Webcrate. Webcrate really helped to keep it simple, searchable, private.
@xplainist WebCrate also offers a Bookmarklet which you can use on mobile. Click the ? on your dashboard and select „Bookmarklet“. A modal will appear showing a link which you can save and use like a bookmarklet.
This is a really cool piece of software. I had an idea like this a little while ago but never persuaded it. I am glad that you open sourced it to make it possible for everyone to use it and improve upon it! 🎉
