I've built a Chrome extension to finally get my bookmarks under control - with dead link detection and collection sharing
As a developer, I've had a bookmarks bar full of folders I never touch for years. Links I saved ages ago are dead, I can never find anything, and there's no easy way to share a set of links with someone.
So I built a Chrome extension (+ Firefox) called Recallio that connects to a web dashboard and keeps all my links up to date, across my browsers.
What it does:
- One-click save from the toolbar - or right-click any page, link, or selected text
- Dead link detection - your library gets checked daily; broken links get flagged and it looks for a Wayback Machine backup automatically
- Collections - organise bookmarks into colour-coded groups, shareable as a public link
- Reader snapshot - saves a clean, readable copy of the page so you can read it later even if it goes offline
- Offline queue - saves when you're offline and syncs when you're back
The extension is live on the Chrome Web/Firefox Store right now, free to use.
Would love to hear what the community thinks - feedback welcome.
