Show HN: Okbookmarks – A Search focussed Bookmark Manager

OkBookmarks is a bookmarking tool designed to help users manage and search their saved URLs more efficiently. It allows users to add URLs and then search for content within those URLs rather than just the links themselves. The platform can scrape and index the text from the URLs, making it easier to find relevant information. Users can import their starred repositories from GitHub, as well as bookmarks from other browsers or applications. Additionally, OkBookmarks supports bulk URL additions, enabling users to save multiple links at once. The roadmap for OkBookmarks includes plans to enhance search capabilities, create a landing page, add Docker support, and integrate with various services like Lemonsqueezy and GitHub. Future features also aim to improve user experience with options for Google and GitHub sign-ins, load testing, and open-sourcing the code. The goal is to attract paying customers and expand the platform's functionality.

Love this, would love to see this run locally and allow me to add notes and associate docs with it.

Also, a simple local API would be fantastic.

Yep, no pricing on the home page (or contact details) is an immediate turn off. And no local storage option?

What on earth makes you think that people will trust an absolutely unknown Indian based startup working out of serviced office space with their private data? Really? That's the definition of optimism. :)

Sorry to be harsh, but you're on an uphill battle unless you can deliver much much more trust credentials or remove the insecurity.
