PrivateBookmarks
Chrome extension + Node backend for private bookmark storage.
A browser extension backed by a Node.js service to store bookmarks privately, with optional metadata such as screenshots and extracted page content.
Problem
- Standard bookmark tools don’t always provide private, searchable, enriched storage.
- Users often want screenshots/metadata without relying on third-party services.
Solution
- Built a Chrome extension for capture and management.
- Added a Node backend with a DB layer to store and query bookmarks.
Highlights
- Private storage model (your DB, your control)
- Captures useful metadata (content/screenshot) where appropriate
- Clear separation between extension UI and backend API
Screenshots
Screenshots are not included yet. If you’d like, I can add screenshots and a short GIF walkthrough once a stable demo/deploy target is confirmed.
What I learned
- Browser extension permissions should be minimized and clearly explained.
- Data models matter: bookmark metadata grows quickly and needs sensible limits.
Notes
- This is an open-source personal project (not client work).
