Remember that say that the last 20% take 80% of the time. It feels like I’m stuck in those last 20% with my refactoring efforts. I want it to be over, but it’ll probably be two or three more days. 😮💨
Posts in "Links"
Four the last four days I have been in the middle of a major refactor of Links. I am starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. When I am finished, the code will be lean, mean and hardened (and much more maintainable).
Links Gets Export Superpowers 📤
Links offers multiple export formats for digital preservation, ensuring total data freedom and easy access across various platforms and tools.
Links Gets a Complete Python Makeover 🐍
Links has undergone a complete overhaul, transitioning from Kirby CMS to a custom FastAPI Python implementation, enabling JavaScript support and eliminating licensing fees for improved digital preservation.
Links: The Bookmark Manager That Actually Saves Your Stuff
Links is an innovative digital preservation tool that efficiently archives content from the web while providing seamless mobile integration and AI-generated summaries.
Links Update
Work on the bookmark manager Links has progressed significantly with a streamlined design, search functionalities, AI features, and improved code, leading towards a forthcoming release.
I’ve neglected Links my bookmarking service. Too much other stuff going on like my wife’s iPad app and a new recipe app I’m trying to develop. Oh and also family life, dialysis and surgery recovery. Too much? Most likely.
I now have my own Python module to write Safari WebArchives. Neat. And not too hard to implement.
So now Links also saves a WebArchive copy and triggers a Wayback savepoint.
I rewrote my webcatcher Python script yesterday. It is now leaner, meaner and more resilient against failed downloads. Links is coming together nicely. Pretty much all that is left is a nicer CSS for mobile devices and a web daemon so I can send stuff to Links from my iPhone.
Links Update
Links, my barebones bookmark and archival solution is slowly getting better.
Today I redid the CSS or started to. I still need to reimplement breakpoints for smaller devices.
Also I finally put the project under Git version control. Version control really is a godsend. The initial learning curve is not nothing. But once you get it, it’s awesome.
I still need to polish the Python script a bit and make it more error resilient.
