bookmark manager like jabref for linux?
is there a bookmark manager like jabref for linux url bookmarks?
I use Jabref for papers and books. I group and rate them and keep track of reading status. There are a lot of websites that also provide valuable information but firefox' bookmark manager can't be used to rate sites or make comments. I can manually add links which is cumbersome.
Is there a similar tool like jabref for internet links?
In the optimal case it would take firefox' bookmarks and work with them such that I can bookmark a site with Ctrl+D and do all the site related work within that manager.
edit: Bonus, if it automatically fetches the article to preserve it
I use wallabag. There is paid hosted version, but you can install it on your server. You can tag, star and mark read/unread your bookmarks. There is a webapp, browser extensions, mobile apps for all platforms, and apps for ebook readers.
There's Zotero. I haven't used it but seems to have a feature called 'Collect with a click' which should allow adding bookmarks.
I use and like Zotero and the one-click-save feature in Firefox is very convenient (IIRC, it takes a few minutes to set up though).
I use raindrop.io It has a website and browser extension
Best option is probably mozilla pocket.
But I will use Wallabag if needed (Currently I store them in plain-text and have no reason to switch). It is simple and get job done. RSS support is also great. There is a paid hosted version as someone mentioned. This one is free to use
Wallabag also has open instances where you can register as a example.
I see Jabref has a Linux application and there are browser extensions that work with it. Did you try that?
I tried that extension but it is greyed out on my installation. Besides, it acoompanies pdf files, not the url site directly if I understand it correctly
When you find an interesting article through Google Scholar, the arXiv or journal websites, this browser extension allows you to add those references to JabRef. Even links to accompanying PDFs are sent to JabRef, where those documents can easily be downloaded, renamed and placed in the correct folder.
I use jabref and this extension quite heavily. I can assure you that it does send the URL to jabref; it gets added as a Misc reference with the site URL in the optional fields. On my firefox / windows system it does show greyed out in the plugins menu like you say, however it adds a jabref logo in the address bar which can be clicked (or alt+shift+j) to send to jabref.
I just tried it on my linux system though, and it doesn't work for me, either. Suspect some sandboxing weirdness because I have jabref as a flatpak but firefox running natively. I'm just coming back to linux from a few years hiatus so I'm hoping someone better than me at this can check in.
Jabref does have some troubleshooting steps for their extension that might be worth trying though, depending on your install.
hmmm.. I see. Good luck finding what you need. I have no ideas.
