Wow, the Doom bookmarklet is kind of cool. https://bookmarkl.ink/ashtonmeuser/04710d3befc446e849108a587...

It seems there isn't a way to browse existing bookmarklets, other than the small, curated lists?

Thanks! Re: listing bookmarklets, that's something I'd like to do but have yet to find a cheap/easy way to do it. One way would be to search gists for relevant metadata [1] but GitHub does not include searching gists in their API. Another way might be logging paths in an edge function. Open to suggestions/PRs.

I'm not seeing any way to browse them either. I'd love such a feature.

I have a couple bookmarklets scattered in a couple blog posts that you may find interesting / want to add:

* https://river.me/blog/bookmarklet-stay-here/

* https://river.me/blog/firefox-keep-bookmark-keywords/

* https://river.me/blog/url-bar-is-a-cli/

Your wish is my command.

Interestingly, in the URL CLI article, you mentioned the difficulty of maintaining such bookmarklets. That was a huge motivator for bookmarkl.ink. You can keep your verbose, commented code in a gist while the actual bookmarklet is tree shaken, stripped of comments, minified, and encoded. As of late, you even get some creature comforts like TypeScript support. Finally, every gist is a repo behind the scenes so you get version control for free.

Aficionados will appreciate Jesse Ruderman's bookmarklets at https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/ which have been saving my sanity since the early 2000s.

I love this project! I used to use a lot of bookmarklets, but lost a lot of them and couldn't find all I used to use. Is it possible for you to create a directory or listing for all the hosted bookmarklets, but that might need curation too.
