I built Bookm8 β€” a retro synthwave bookmark manager that actually makes organizing links fun: * Kanban-style organization (drag & drop your bookmarks) * Map view for location-based bookmarks * Search & filter through all your saved links * Offline support β€” works even without internet * 6 themes (but let’s be honest… synthwave is the GOAT) * Easy sharing β€” share bookmarks from any app to bookm8
