# osmos::memo
A browser bookmark manager optimized for capture and retrieval speed.
- Extract page title and url into a short markdown snippet.
- One-click to insert the snippet to `README.md` hosted on GitHub.
- Add new tags or reuse the ones from previous snippets.
- Instant search from snippets with the "find on page" utility built into browsers.

## Get started
### Install
- [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/osmosmemo/chgfencjlhmjhmnnpnlnchglkkdcipii)
- [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/osmos-memo)
### Connect to GitHub
- When you active the extension from browser toolbar for the 1st time, click the button to connect to GitHub.
- Provide your GitHub username and repo.
- If you don't have a repo yet, it's easiest to [create from the template](https://github.com/login?return_to=%2Fosmoscraft%2Fosmosmemo-template%2Fgenerate).
- You can set the visibility of your repo to either Public or Private. The extension works in both cases.
- [Create a new personal access token](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new) for the extension to add content on behalf of you. Make sure you select the `repo` scope.
- Use `README.md` as the storage filename. Other filenames work too but GitHub will not automatically render it as the home page for your repo.
- Click Connect and make sure you get a success message.
- Now navigate to any page and re-open the extension. You will be able to save new content.
## FAQ
### How to open the extension with keyboard shortcut?
