# collaborative-bookmarking
|
||
|
|
||
|
if you haven't used dropbox folder sync in the past, this is how it works:
|
||
|
|
||
|
[12:48]
|
||
|
you have a parent dropbox director
|
||
|
|
||
|
[12:48]
|
||
|
you create subdirectories
|
||
|
|
||
|
[12:48]
|
||
|
you pick a subdirectory
|
||
|
|
||
|
[12:48]
|
||
|
and you share it with people
|
||
|
|
||
|
[12:48]
|
||
|
everyone with access gets the same directory in their dropbox
|
||
|
|
||
|
[12:49]
|
||
|
their edits to the directory are synced with yours
|
||
|
|
||
|
[12:49]
|
||
|
I'm skipping over conflicts for now
|
||
|
|
||
|
[12:49]
|
||
|
take this to bookmarks: everyone has a bookmark thing in their browser
|
||
|
|
||
|
[12:50]
|
||
|
(chrome has 2 parent directories, though -> bookmarks, and tab bar)
|
||
|
|
||
|
[12:50]
|
||
|
I add bookmarks and save them in a special directory. I get a share option in the extension against every parent level directory
|
||
|
|
||
|
[12:50]
|
||
|
to share with other people
|
||
|
|
||
|
[12:51]
|
||
|
The interface is basically:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Coding (shared with user@example.com) [Synced]
|
||
|
- Books
|
||
|
- Projects
|
||
|
- Elixir (shared with person@mail.com) [Syncing]
|
||
|
|
||
|
[12:52]
|
||
|
If the other person checks their bookmarks directory, they see the same directory and links
|
||
|
|
||
|
[12:52]
|
||
|
edits are synced as well, so you can edit bookmarks (title only) and it gets synced back
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are lots of tools that already sync your browser bookmarks, but once you have the base in place,
|
||
|
you can make the "source/sink" configurable to things like Google Save / Pockets / Pinboard etc.
