It works on X (Twitter), Reddit, Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Youtube, TikTok, GitHub, Greasy Fork, Hacker News, pixiv and numerous other websites.
< 🏷️ UTags - Add usertags to linksについてのフィードバック
The public version of Blogmarks is temporary inaccessible.
I can't view the content in the blogmarks. I've been searching on Google for a while, but I haven't found much relevant information.
Judging from the description and screenshots you provided, it bears a remarkable resemblance to Pinboard in terms of functionality and interface appearance.
https://pinboard.in/recent/
However, I’m not sure what it means to use blogmarks to share UTags.
Do you mean this part in https://github.com/utags/utags/issues/35 ?
If we want add the functionality of the "future" Tags page (sorting..) to our share, I think we need have our own Tags page, maybe by choosing a Screen Name for the sharing:
by example: https://utags.pipecraft.net/Screen-Name/tags/
I can't view the content in the blogmarks
Yes, that's strange.
I never notice that before: i am always connected.
"The public version of Blogmarks is temporary inaccessible.", like they Notice when we want open it.
As you, i don't find many infos on it...
Maybe an maintenance problem, i hope:
Should be sad to see this old open site down.
I drop an eye on Pinboard:
should be interesting as alternative. Do you use it?
Their interface is less praticable than BlogMarks.
BlogMarks have on right side a tags cloud panel, which help to refine a search.
We can edit our Tags directly here.
Each Mark have its Screenshot (not all but....).
In an other hand, Pinboard seems have many way to import / export / save its Tags.
An API.
And it have many Bookmarklets for different actions (i should prefer an userscript...)
It have too Bundles:
Bundles are named collections of tags.
So, maybe that's should be an options to publish Their Utags.
And its way to do seems safe:
"If there are duplicates in your import file, Pinboard will ignore them (so it's safe to import the same thing multiple times)."

"Bundles", "Tags cloud panel" ideas to use in Utags?

That's an other option.
With this option we can only publish them in i selective maner.
Different than publish our Utags inside an public site like BlogMarks or PinBoard
I read their about page and i find you can be inspired by they way the describe how their tagging system should be useful for users:
*"**What does it do?**
The site adds a small button to your browser that lets you remember things you read, giving you the chance to label them with tags and descriptive text.
Your collection is searchable, meaning that you can pipe a lot of stuff into Pinboard and be able to find it months or years later.
**Here are some situations where Pinboard is useful:**
>Do you keep dozens of tabs open and feel guilty about closing the ones you haven't had time to read?
Do you half-remember interesting things you saw online six months ago, but struggle to find them in a search engine?
Do you want to be able to search your Twitter links and favorites?
Do you read a lot of papers and PDFs and want to be able to search within them?
Do you participate in fandom and want a way to keep track of and share your favorite fic?
Do you find yourself collecting tons of links for a project or research paper you're working on, with no satisfying way to keep track of them?
These are situations where Pinboard is helpful.
You can also simply pipe in lots of stuff, read and unread, and rely on the search feature to find it later. " *
Some notes about Pinboard:
A - It seems to be not free?
What does it cost?
Pinboard costs $22/year for a basic service. Archiving accounts cost $39/year.
B - They have an extension:Pinboard Extension by Pinboard
C - it have Javascript Widgets:
Little pieces of Javascript code you can paste into a blog or web page template to display your tags and links, styled however you want.
Linkroll:
show a list of your most recent bookmarks.
Tag cloud widget:
create a handsome javascript tag cloud on any web page.
An other idea to share ou Utags ?
About Blogmarks
While we are re-launching the service, we only accept new members through invitation.
The public version of Blogmarks is temporary inaccessible.
Users can’t register an account without an invitation. Moreover, they likely can’t view other users’ shared bookmarks. As a result, we can’t use Blogmarks to share UTags.
About Pinboard
Pinboard is not a free platform, so we can't use it to share UTags either.
Since I can't gain an intuitive understanding of the interface and functionality of Blogmarks except through the screenshots you provided, I'm using Pinboard as an example to explore whether Blogmarks shares similarities with it. This is by no means a suggestion to use Pinboard.
I’m not a user of Pinboard, as it requires a fee for use. However, Pinboard enjoys wide renown. I first heard of this product several years ago and conducted research on its features. I’ve always been highly interested in tools that manage content through tagging. Besides Pinboard, I’ve also conducted in-depth research on similar products such as linkding, LinkAce, and Raindrop.
Each Mark have its Screenshot (not all but....).
What does it mean? Does Blogmarks automatically capture and save screenshots of web pages?
Notes:
"Bundles", "Tags cloud panel" ideas to use in Utags?
The currently developed UTags list website features a module similar in functionality to “Bundles.” I’ve named it “Saved Filters.” With this feature, users can save their current filtering configurations and reuse them with a single click during subsequent visits. The filtering configurations support a combination of keywords, any number of tags, and any number of domains.
Currently, the UTags list page doesn't feature a “Tags cloud panel.” Instead, it presents a list of tags sorted according to the number of associated bookmarks. From the perspective of the website's user experience design, this list format enables users to access various functions more conveniently.
An other idea to share ou Utags ?
Frankly, I haven't developed a clear line of thinking yet.
On one hand, I'm unsure how many people are willing to share their UTags, nor do I know the specific scenarios in which people choose to share. After all, much of the content associated with these tags may be private.
On the other hand, considering the usage on social platforms like X and Reddit, users may use UTags to mark people they dislike, attaching labels such as 'block' or 'troll.' Of course, there are also other types of tags for protecting note information. However, such tag content may not be suitable for public sharing. After all, attaching labels like 'block' or 'troll' to others reflects the subjective stance of users rather than objective facts.
The following are some sharing scenarios that I can envision:
Regarding these scenarios, I envision building a dedicated public list page for UTags in the future. Additionally, we'll offer a convenient data export function. In this way, users can build their own websites or web pages using the exported data.
Current state of Blogmark:
I'm unsure how many people are willing to share their UTags, nor do I know the specific scenarios in which people choose to share
Yep...
That's difficult to say. Myself i don't know the best scenario in which i wanted share my Utags.
Actually, as i said before, i Tags mainly in Flickr:
It help me to manage my Pools and my Following users (or not...).
For my case, a sharing scenario with Flickr, should be to share a list of my best Photographers or Best Groups.
Maybe with a widget provided by Utags, where i can select which Utags to display in it.
And i add it to my Profile page or in a comments form by copy past.
Bundle: UTags list website features a module similar in functionality to “Bundles.”
I’ve named it “Saved Filters.”
With this feature, users can save their current filtering configurations and reuse them
Should be a good function!
Does Blogmarks automatically capture and save screenshots of web pages?
I don't remember very well, but it seems they don't do that themself, they used another service for that...
However, Pinboard enjoys wide renown. I first heard of this product several years ago and conducted research on its features
Yes, reading their story and seeing all the tools integrated, that's good example of what it's possible to do (that's i mention before).
A long time ago, i used a lot Delicious (the "son" of Yahoo - like Flickr...).
The dev bought it in last !
This was the most useful Tags sharing tool i used.
Small note:
I read in its blog that recently i was faced to a deeply attack which was so different than before.
It should take new mesures against that and rebuild many functions for that.
Maybe that's the same case for BloogMarks (Usable for Old user and use invitation for newer)?.
Seems both was published since a long time.
So Now, about sharing, i think that's not the most urgent thing to put in your TO DO list (but interesting to keep in mind):
Develop the UTags page should be the first one, with many way to present it and filter things in it.
And because a Utag need to by concise and not to much redondant, tools to edit our Utags:
Like modify a Utag to unify it with an other created before (by exemple: modify all "ADD ON" or "ADDON" to merge them to same Utags "Extension")
And add more sites where use it.
Maybe, like GM Super-preloader by machsix [GitHub] you can use Wedata.net a free tool.
Read:
GM Super-preloader by machsix - Wedata.net [GitHub.io]
If we understand how to tweak a new site, users can build an specific rule and share it with others.
- With Wedata.net, it store all rules per site.
- Users can publish rules in it.
- Or they can send to you a request with a rule formated (need to understand how to build a rule...).
- Users can update Script rules with a button in its page settings.
See by example its sites rules guide:
GM Super-preloader by machsix - Site rules [GitHub.io]
And because a Utag need to by concise and not to much redondant, tools to edit our Utags:
Like modify a Utag to unify it with an other created before (by exemple: modify all "ADD ON" or "ADDON" to merge them to same Utags "Extension")
Yes, this feature is really essential. It will definitely be added in the future. I just didn't have the time to include this feature in the first version.
If we understand how to tweak a new site, users can build an specific rule and share it with others.
This is undoubtedly a great idea. Allowing users to customize rules can significantly enhance the adaptability of UTags to various websites. During my daily work, it’s sometimes impossible for me to meet all the website adaptation requests from users. With this approach, users can not only use UTags conveniently on their favorite websites but also set different rules for the same website, greatly enhancing flexibility.
I need to think deeply about how to design the rules. This userscript and it's rules guide may offer me quite a lot of inspiration.

Haaha another big white stone in your ToDo list !
;-)
I think the dev of this userscript can provide help to you, if need.
The Wedata.net is an old beast and GM Autopagerise use it since long time too.

Another white stone ...
About building rules:
I remember of AutoPager Fixed by Wind Li .
Its dev was active a long time and abandoned the update now...
It included in it an inspector (like mini-devTools) to help us to find the right selectors needs to build rules:
Was very practical (a little bit similar to the selector tool of Ublock Origin):
With it, clicking in the page give an Xpath sleector, which it can be refine .
Maybe you can reuse a tool like this one, but using CSS selectors - more easy to understand) ?.

I’m going to manage rules on GitHub, as uBlacklist does. Through GitHub, people can initiate discussions by creating issues, submit rule changes via pull requests.
Currently, creating rules remains a highly challenging task. Looking back, when UTags was being adapted to various websites, different implementation methods were adopted for each site. It’s precisely through this continuous process of adaptation that UTags has been iteratively optimized. For some websites, rules can be created simply by using CSS selectors. However, for others, it’s necessary to write JavaScript code to achieve adaptation. Undoubtedly, this poses significant challenges to rule creation.
To facilitate users in customizing rules, UTags needs to be continuously iterated and refactored in the future.
rules can be created simply by using CSS selectors.
That's a first step to show to user how to build simple rules.
When i adapt Utags to Flickr, the main thing i do is to delete place where i don't want its functions (by example No relevant infos to retrieve here).
So in first, a way to create Shared rules for places where Utags is not necessary, should be interesting as "proof of concept".
Rules used to move the place of some Utags to compil with my principal userstyle don't need to be shared with others users:
They don't need them if they don't use my userstyle and i add these rules in my userstyle.
I’m going to manage rules on GitHub, as uBlacklist does. Through GitHub, people can initiate discussions by creating issues, submit rule changes via pull requests.
Using GitHub should be a good deal for others requests.
Like a way to Utags some H1 with no links attached to it...
Alright, let’s create rules with CSS selectors first and then improve based on actual problems.
;-)
About sharing our Utags:
Maybe can find a way to use BlogMarks which have similarity with your Tagging system:
"BlogMarks is a french collaborative link management project based on sharing and key-word tagging.
Build on a blog basis, BlogMarks is an open and free technology.
Now, you can access your favorite URL's from any computer."
Here my Utags results in it:
I remember that, many year ago, they have a tool to import tags from the defunct Delicious to BlogMarks...
