I Built HamHome Because My Bookmarks Became a Graveyard

Source: Dev.to

Introduction

I used to bookmark everything—articles I wanted to revisit, docs I might need later, tools I planned to test. Eventually I ended up with hundreds of bookmarks and could barely find anything useful. That’s why I built HamHome, a browser extension for heavy bookmark users who still want fast, reliable retrieval.

Features

• One‑click saving while browsing.
• AI‑assisted organization: cleaner titles, summaries, tags, and category suggestions.
• Natural‑language retrieval:
  • “What did I save about React performance?”
  • “Find that pricing article I saved last month.”
  • Answers include sources so you can jump back to the original links.
• Import existing bookmarks from your browser.
• Customizable structure: keep your current folders or let the AI reorganize them.
• Local‑first storage with explicit AI boundaries—no silent sending of browsing history to third‑party services.

Benefits

• Faster capture of new resources.
• Better structure with less manual cleanup.
• Practical retrieval exactly when you need the information.

Availability

• Official website:
• Edge add‑on:
• Firefox add‑on:
• GitHub releases:

Ongoing work includes improving search quality, refining the import workflow, and enhancing UI consistency.

Feedback

If you try HamHome, blunt feedback is welcome:

• What feels strong?
• What feels confusing?
• What made you stop using it?

Your input helps shape future iterations.

Future Plans

• Submit and publish HamHome to the Chrome Web Store.
• Strengthen AI agent capabilities for deeper, task‑level bookmark workflows.
