Hello :wave:

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at and if possible solved. I'm Marcel and I created floccus a few years ago, maintaining it ever since. I currently work for Nextcloud which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one than I used to have. I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it. Until then, please be patient. Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can collaborate to make this software better. For everyone. Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands! To continue the development and maintenance of this project in a sustainable way I ask that you donate to the project when opening an issue (or at least once your issue is solved), if you're not a donor already. You can find donation options at https://floccus.org/donate/. Thank you!

One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the Nextcloud forum, to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue Cheers :blue_heart:

I would be interested in this as well. I use KeepassXC with Syncthing and it uses Native Messaging to pass information between the browser plugin and the local app to touch the local file system. Maybe something similar could happen here?

[marcelklehr]

Native syncthing support in floccus is going to be hard to implement, but you can have a look at LoFloccus, which exposes as local WebDAV server to store the XBEL/HTML bookmarks file on disk, so you can sync it with whatever solution you want.

Only there doesn't seem to be a LoFloccus for android to easily import bookmarks. If I add something on my phone, do I have to open the file with a text editor and paste it there? In firefox mobile there is no such thing as import bookmarks.
