Kipclip v0.9 is out 🐥
With this release it becomes possible to become an official Kip supporter, powered by @atprotofans.com The first (and only) gated feature is imports for now. Also some UI tweaks. I really hope this is the start of making kipclip.com a sustainable service for the Atmosphere ❤️
A hand holds a small white e-ink e-reader showing its home screen. The display features a book titled “Non-Sendable First Design” by Matt Massicotte, with menu options below for “Browse Files,” “Recently Read,” “File Transfer,” and “Settings.” The battery indicator reads 97%. The device has physical buttons along the bottom. In the background are a textured couch and a round blue cushion.
E-ink display of an e-reader showing a "File Transfer" menu with four options: "Join a Network" (Connect to an existing WiFi network), "Calibre Wireless" (Use Calibre wireless device transfers), "Create Hotspot" (Create a WiFi network others can join), and "Sync Articles" (Download new articles from backend). Navigation buttons "Back" and "Select" are visible at the bottom. Battery shows 96%.
Needed more proof the age of personal software is here? I got this Xteink X4 pocket e-reader. I flashed it with open source firmware. Then vibecoded a backend running on @val.town that pulls `toread` tagged articles from @kipclip.com and converts them to epub ...
The ‘share collection’ button is now also visible on mobile. Overall mobile layout does need more work but at least sharing is easier again.
when you tap a bookmark it should be selected (blue background) and the tap should also activate an edit button and a drag button. you don't see these? but yeah when selected showing the share button makes sense, it's more a question of fitting everything on the screen 😅
You can! When you select one or more tags simply hit the ‘share collection’ button and you will get the share url for all bookmarks with those tags (or tag). Currently the button is only visible on desktop though so I’ll have to figure out the mobile layout for that perhaps
We have a press page now! kipclip.com/press I do need some more assets types and screenshots and such but it's a start at least.
What does @sifa.id have that LinkedIn does not? If you said bookmarks you’d be right.
First1! 🥚
Never mind I guess? This was an issue since yesterday but just cleared up again 🤷
Just posting it here in hopes @sebastian.eurosky.social or someone else might see it and perhaps have 5 minutes to unblock whatever is blocking that account 🥺
I haven’t been able to post anymore with my @tijs.org account since it has been blocked on @eurosky.social, started with rate limit errors and now I can’t even log in anymore with that account. Emailed the support mail address but i assume they are swamped right now…

Things you can do with the kip command line tool; have your agent read all the stuff you bookmarked (so you don’t have to), delete all those craft projects you bookmarked but never got around to, search all bookmarks tagged recipe and then build a randomizer to help decide what to eat tonight 🍳
Ok trying something for kipclip.com, I've made a kipclip cli: tangled.org/tijs.org/kip... it works independently of the kipclip web service e.g. it talks directly to your PDS fetching records from there so even if you do not use the website you could still use the cli for managing your bookmarks
Kipclip.com now returns tags in search as well. You can search for specific tags, use tag:<your tag> right in the search, and tapping a tag updates the search accordingly. I think this works pretty well but definitely open to suggestions
You can now mark articles in your reading list as 'read'. the implementation is simple; articles with the 'toread' tag end up in your reading list, when you mark them read the toread tag is removed and a read tag is added. This way the status is updated in the data on your own PDS including history
Screenshot of a Personal Data Server (PDS) identity page showing the account kipclip.com hosted on eurosky.social. The Identity tab displays the DID (did:plc:3zzkrjtsmo7nnwnvhex3auj), a verified alias (at://kipclip.com), and the connected service AtprotoPersonalDataServer with the endpoint https://eurosky.social. The top bar includes a search field, compose icon, profile avatar, and menu button.
Landed safely 🐓

Did some more stress testing and I *think* that bookmark importing is now pretty solid. Do give it a try when you can! (and let me know if you find any room for improvement)
Screenshot of the Kipclip "Import Bookmarks" settings page. The page has General and Import tabs, with Import selected. A yellow beta notice states importing is free during beta and will become a supporter-only feature. A blue info banner warns that bookmarks on AT Protocol are public. Below is a drag-and-drop file upload area with a "Choose File" button. The supported formats section lists Netscape HTML (Chrome, Firefox, Safari exports), Pinboard JSON, and Pocket CSV.
New feature 🐣 (in beta) Kipclip.com now supports imports from most common sources. Move all your previously collected bookmarks safely onto your PDS 🥡
Glad you like it!
With thanks to @hacdias.com for the inspiration
some mention of the endpoint that linkding uses being unreliable indieweb.org/Internet_Arc... I've added a note to look into it further. For now I did add a link to the web archive version of the url for the bookmark detail view. when the url is not yet archived you can trigger it there manually.
A bookmark manager showing a list of saved links in the background, with a modal overlay in the foreground displaying a saved article titled "AI is accidentally making documentation more accessible" from gerireid.com. The modal features the site's pixel-art logo spelling "geri" in dark blue with pink accents, the article's subtitle "Writing documentation for AI retrieval improves accessibility for humans too," an "AI" tag, a save date of 15/02/2026 with an "Archived version" link, and three action buttons: Open (red), Share, and Edit.
Every bookmark now has an "Archived version" link that points to the Wayback Machine. If a snapshot exists, you can read the page even if the original goes down. If not, archive.org offers to save it for you. Small feature, but useful when you're browsing old bookmarks and links have gone stale.
I'll have a look at whole Linkding does that. Maybe something for our backlog
oh that *is* a neat feature! and it offloads the heavy lifting to a specialized service which I like.
haha yeah, once we go down that road you would probably start with archiving the actual content, but it would quickly become either archive.ph or internet archive territory. while interesting that's way out of scope for a simple bookmarking tool. at least at this point.
What would be the benefit of storing the favicon locally? As a cache of sorts?
