Lum - Linux Ubiquitous Marker

Lum is a project I started as a way to escape the feeling of being tied to the web-browser when it comes to bookmarks. -The objective is relatively simple, to have access to my bookmarks outside of the browser. This way I could call my bookmarks from anywhere on the computer, whether from Vim, Emacs, the browser itself, the window manager or wherever. -I’m still not sure if I’m going to turn this project into a CLI tool or a library. I still need to try to integrate Lum with some other tool and evaluate which points I failed, which ones I need to improve and where I got things right. -I also wanted to have contact with Rust in practice. I have some things to say about the Rust language, but I think that will be for another post on this blog.

For now, I’m using JSON to save the bookmarks, but to be honest I don’t know if I’ll keep this format until the end. -I’m still evaluating whether this would be the most practical and quickest way, considering that I already accumulated more than 12 thousand bookmarks at the height of my NEET time. -I don’t think parsing 12 thousand objects in JSON is efficient, but it’s something I still need to test in practice.
