I recently switched to using KeePass and Syncthing, and I love them. I was wondering if there's a bookmark manager where I can keep all my bookmarks on a synced file like KeePass. I've tried looking, but I haven't had any luck. Does anyone know of one?

    Why not just use bookmarks in Firefox with sync enabled? You can self host your own sync server if you are worried about privacy.

    That would be great. In addition to this, I'd like something that combines bookmarks and something like zotero, so I bookmark something and create a locally hosted web archive. Ideally saving what is already loaded by the browser. So if the bookmark site dies I still have my archive including all images.

    Ideally this could also improve coverage of webarchive through p2p.

    I was looking for a bookmark app that can sync via Syncthing too, but I had no luck finding such an app.

    I think I will end up using markdown editor (notes app), specifically Markor, because it allows appending links to a file (note) through the share menu. It's using .md files which you can easily sync via Syncthing, and then open the file on desktop with some markdown editor like Joplin.
    On desktop you would have to manually copy and paste the link into the file though.

    It's probably possible to streamline that process more, but if you don't save a lot of links it's ok, I guess.

    I usually just export my bookmarks as a HTML file and use that on desktop. On mobile I just make a ods spreadsheet after copying all of my bookmarks manually (select all, share, copy to clipboard etc...)

    I've also failed at finding one... so I just try to save links in my own synced markdown files, with some intent / purpose behind them.

    IE If I'm planning a vacation, I save the links from that research to my vacation planning .md file. So I don't just click the bookmark button anymore, they're saved to a document for a specific purpose.

    I export my rss.opml and my bookmarks.html files once a week and upload them to Proton Drive as backups. I also convert the html to a md file so it can be rendered by Proton Docs, so I can just click the links from there if I need to.
