marksymarks news
Finally on AMO.
I have just published the first public beta version of the ymarks Firefox extension to Mozilla's official add-on repository. While the Chrome version needs some more work, I am confident that the WebExtension client is rapidly approaching a state of stable-enough-ness. I will update all website links while you read this.
Serious development work...
I was notified by @pyrox82 that ymarks behaves not as well as expected outside the Firefox world. I am chasing some issues, expect updates.
Media coverage!
Today I have learned that Xmarks - the service which inspired me to start ymarks - is about to be shut down soon. Thankfully, Martin Brinkmann provided an article about potential alternatives, listing ymarks as one of them.
I feel honored, to say the least.
Working on better integration
After evaluating my remaining options as the (otherwise lovely) qutebrowser acted weird on one of my machines and its extension support is less than remarkable yet (and will be for the foreseeable future), I shifted my development attention to my own web browser which will probably include ymarks support. As this will be a lengthy process, please excuse the lack of updates on this site.
While I'm on it, you are still invited to try ymarks - if you like it, please get in touch with me. I'm always happy about feedback!
Fixed Windows package
I was notified by @abinarybbs that the Windows build requires a non-standard SQLite DLL. I uploaded a new precompiled download that includes this DLL file.
For those who prefer compiling their own ymarks build: The winsqlite.dll file usually comes directly from the official SQLite source code.
ymarks for Chrome and Vivaldi is available now.
I tried to build a port of ymarks to Chrome and Chrome-based browsers. According to my perception, the version I just uploaded should be able to communicate with the main process. Note that some of the more fine-grained specialties are probably not covered yet, so you might run into weirdnesses.
I also had the pleasure to test the server component on FreeBSD and it seems to work. :-) I updated the README accordingly.

ymarks for Firefox is feature-complete.
I sent out a first release candidate for the Firefox version of ymarks to my beta testers, coupled with what I consider a working Windows build of the server component.
If everything works as intended, a first public release could be coming in 2017. It will be awesome.
