Ideas about Managing Links #57

Closed afomi closed 5 years ago

afomi commented 5 years ago

Parsing the original post....

It would be nice to build a list [of resources] good enough for inclusion here: https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome
I am looking for good ways of managing curated lists.
Very long read me files with naked links, I find tedious and uninformative/uncurated Workflows for adding links to bookmarks in your browser then getting these links into markdown are complex
I would like to be able to take a bunch of links from my browser bookmark manager and get them into a markdown file quickly and easily
I would like to view and manage links with a tree-view menu system

Story

As a PERSONA I want to So I can

Acceptance Criteria

Given When Then

theo-armour commented 5 years ago

@afomi

first pass

I want to access gathered knowledge:

Retrieve knowledge gathered by others
'stand on the shoulders of giants' by looking at knowledge gathered by peeps with domain knowledge
'Knowledge' in this case is URLs
Read any comments added by submitter

I want to do this

With knowledge embedded in useful records of data
Using tags to triage the collection of data
Viewing name, date and other relevant data in the record

Technology that will help

Data storeable on GitHub.co and retrievable on GitHub.io
Storing and retrieving tools/apps ditto
Be editable . manipulable by peeps with entry level skills

So I can

Export snippets of what I find to 'my space'
Thank the submitter
Add comments to the records
Add tags that focus on
- General domain knowledge
- Specific needs for projects we or I are working on (public / private?)
Add and edit records when I have the authority
change the world for the better

so much to unpack here. this is the right repository for this thinking, but constitutes a lot of work.

lots of this is subjective, and not possible/practical to measure. Curious what potential next steps might be. Or is this just ideation exercise?

theo-armour commented 5 years ago

OMG, it turns out that the native format for bookmarks in Chrome and Firefox is JSON.

Both are near identical but FF adds tags

Chrome

%\AppData\Google\Chrome\User Data into File Explorer.
In search bar, type Bookmarks, you will see a list of files named Bookmarks and/or Bookmarks.bak.

Firefox

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
Or use bookmark manager and export as JSON

I want to:

Have add-a-line read and write JSONL bookmarks based on Chrome/FF exportd
Have see-line ( Celine?) present them to you nicely

OK to move to Resources repo?

See the effort at: https://github.com/opentecture/resources/tree/master/sandbox

afomi commented 5 years ago

This work seems more suitable for this repo.

Resources are for basic, static links.

This repo is a more dynamic playground.

afomi commented 5 years ago

@theo-armour - also, because commits are going straight to master, the work you've done is already in the master branch of the other repo, which indicates a process smell to me.

afomi commented 5 years ago

@theo-armour - I created this PR for your bookmark work. https://github.com/opentecture/mindmapping/pull/58

I'm going to back-out the line commits from this repository, which was only Markdown.

afomi commented 5 years ago

@theo-armour - the bookmark html/js commits have been force-deleted from https://github.com/opentecture/resources. I'll move on to getting this PR merged to this repository.

@afomi

Feels like I upset things. Sorry about that.

afomi commented 5 years ago

@theo-armour - no problem. Versioned code allows for fixups.

Overall, I'm trying to stay focused on work that provides end-user value. One-off demo scripts are less-and-less useful as we go, because it is the integration of the functions that provides value. Most libraries provide demos of scripts.

There are INFINITE things that can be done, like .json bookmark marshaling.

Until sharing bookmarks becomes a limiting/blocking factor to other more important work, this is not work I'd have prioritized.

afomi commented 5 years ago

@theo-armour - disregarding the rest of this thread, does your bookmark work fulfill the intent of this story? Is this good to close? If not, what specifically needs work?
