NAME
CLark - collect bookmarks on your command-line
SYNOPSIS
clark [<options>...] [<command> [<options>...] [<arguments>...]]
DESCRIPTION
CLark is a bookmarking program for the command-line. It is meant to interface with other programs to make its use easy, whilst remaining free of being locked in to any single browser or program (except for itself). This should allow you to keep your bookmarks in a single, easily accessible, place regardles of which browser you use at any moment.
CLark?! What the …?
I've been working on this program for a long time, though not very intensely, and it's gone through a few names.
At first I absolutely wanted to write it in C, and I named it
linkwave. I made a little program that could store given URLs with
names and descriptions, but not much else than that.
Then I started messing around with Lisp and some of its
derivatives, such as chicken scheme. And then I thought it would be
much cooler to (re)write this in scheme! I named it markam, because
Markam collects books.
Now, I'm thinking that it would be much cooler still to write the thing in Common Lisp! So I name it CLark, because it is Common Lisp, and a rewrite of mARKam.
