I just wanna cache all my bookmarks, I rarely look at them, but when I do go look at them, a good chunk tend to have rotted. It will be awesome to cache all my bookmarks and then have option to recursively cache the path I'm in. I don't want to cache every page I visit, 90% is junk.
I'd recommend using Zotero as it's designed for researchers. It can save most pages for offline viewing, but also grabs metadata, and has specialized downloaders for papers and such.
Main downside is it's not trying to plug into existing bookmarks.
1. Download the release (npm or binary)
2. Start it up.
3. Go to chrome://bookmarks
4. Click on a folder and go, "open all".
5. Once they've loaded, click through each tab opened to make sure it loaded properly.
6. Check that they've been added to the index (go to http://localhost:2212)
7. Repeat 1-6 for all the folders of your bookmarks that you want to save.
8. Repeat 7 periodically.
I feel pretty scared for you that this will be too much work for you to feel good about doing it, but I want to say at least it will save it.
I think the use-case is good. I considered it in the past (automatically caching from bookmarks). I feel really bad for you this lets down your use case.
