Playing around with Raindrop.io today. It’s really nicely done. I’ve added support for importing Raindrop.io bookmarks to Micro.blog bookmarks. There’s also an API, so maybe we’ll have more integration later.

@manton thank you so so so much! :-)

@manton It's a stellar app

@manton that’s great news. It’s such a great app and service. Awesome to see the integration. Thank you!

@manton Long been considering switching to Raindrop from Pinboard (or just use both).

As for Mb: I exclusively use mb for other social posts. The workflow of having prominent bookmarks for stuff I want to follow up on works great! I know other socials technically has it, but mb has the most streamline implementation by far!

@manton I wish it was not a developer located in Russia.

@esamecar your wish was granted. He is not located in Russia. See nitter.net/raindrop_... 😊

@pcora Interesting. Thanks for letting me know.

@manton This is great! Once the API is sorted out, can we also sync bookmarks from Raindrop to Micro.blog? Selectively via a tag?

@torb Thank you, glad to hear it!

@pratik In theory, but I think I should wait to hear what people want before we implement sync. There are a lot of ways we could handle it.

@manton @maique thank you for this - it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.

@manton Ok. Just wanted to know if it was possible. My use case - I bookmark on Raindrop liberally but want to sync some of the bookmarks to Micro.blog that I want to blog about. I’ve already created a collection on Raindrop that I add to if I want it crossposted on Mastodon

@pratik Got it, that helps me understand the use case. Makes a lot of sense to me. I'll investigate!

@pratik Raindrop lets you generate RSS feeds for folders. What if you feed one you want into your Micro.blog account as a source that posts to the Timeline?

@moonmehta @pratik Oh, that's an interesting way to handle it. Personally I think I'd want to import as bookmarks because then you can edit how you want it to appear in blog posts, or make highlights for quotes to use.

@moonmehta No, that's what I do with Mastodon. For Micro.blog, I would want them imported as Mb bookmarks first. That would let me leverage Mb's features to highlight and then blog about them in a longer form.

@manton @tchambers I seems great, but doesn’t save data offline. You can’t read or manage links and articles while on an airplane, etc. https://raindropio.canny.io/feature-requests/p/offline-support-reading-viewing

@com @manton I think the offline reading support gets overestimated in terms of features for bookmarking. I like how Micro.blog does it though especially for posts that you blog about coz ultimately those are the ones you are going to look back again and want to preserve.

@manton
yes I love Raindrop. This is my review of the app.
