Raindrop.io is a nice link bookmarking & organization app that has a pretty good public API, Zapier, and IFTTT integrations. If you pay for it, it also keeps offline archives of links. Their apps source is also on GitHub (Though the backend is closed), which may be helpful for integration purposes (or not).
Here is a screenshot of what the app itself looks like (All of this can be accessed through the API). I would recommend going to their homepage though, it’s better described there:
Hello! @DouglasG I’ve come here to suggest the same idea, but I think that probably someone else already has suggested it… and it is!
It’s a great idea in my opinion.
I think that Raindrop.io fits perfectly to save our favorites things on the internet. It can integrate with the smartphone and many browsers and Operational Systems. So it’s ideal for this use.
And Obsidian is our second brain, many people have a workflow between Obsidian and Raindrop, they’re perfect companions for each other.
The “Raindrop Highlights” plugin is now available and works perfectly.
Personally I drop links into folders (in raindrop), and add tags to it if required.
In Obsidian, the plugin allows you to choose the folder to be synchronized into Obsidian. Dataview can then do fancy stuff with it based on the tags and folders.
As a person that has had issues with all existing Raindrop integration solutions… I made my own plugin to handle raindrop fetching into my vault.
Apparently I can’t post links as this is a newly created forum account (no matter what I did, I couldn’t create a forum post here due to it containing ‘links’, even though there were no links in said forum post draft).
I’m assuming that after a little more participation I’ll be able to make that post, so, stand-by.
