## Why?

- a bookmarking service is useful if you use varying browsers or devices

- there is currently no free service that supports nested folders

- self-hosting your bookmarks offers the best privacy

## Features

- easily deployed [backend](./server/)

- customizable, keyboard-friendly [browser plugin](./plugin/)

- lightweight (~50 kB) [web app](./webapp/)

- support for nested folders

- data import and export

- scan for dupes and broken links

- support for multiple users per instance

- responsiveness and dark mode

## Getting started

You need to run a bookay server to use bookay. It includes the webapp by default and also feeds the browser plugin. There are a few free hosting solutions that suffice to run the server. See [here](./server/README.md#how-to-use) for examples and deployment instructions.
