clark - collect bookmarks on your command-line

Synopsis

clark [options] [<command> [<options> …]]

Description

CLark is a bookmark collection application for the command-line. It is a drag being dependant on your browser or an internet connection to be able to collect, manage and look through your bookmarks, so we're breaking free… slowly.

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.
