Nextcloud Bookmarks
This app provides you with a web interface for collecting, organizing and sharing bookmarks to the sites on the web that are precious to you. You can browse and filter your bookmarks via tags, folders and by using the built-in search feature and you can share folders with other users and groups as well as create public links for them. Also, in order to access your bookmarks anywhere, it also allows you to synchronize with third-party clients via a built-in REST API, be it in your browsers or on your phone.
One of these third party clients is the Bookmark app for Android developed and mainteined by Biswajit Das. We asked him a few questions about his app!
Meet Biswajit
Biswajit is a UK based Cloud DevOps professional, passionate about Android Development and Cricket! He designs solutions for on premise to cloud migrations, while in his free time works on creating Android Apps, 5 of which are already on the Play store.
How it all started?
While browsing around about cloud security, Biswajit found some useful information about cloud security on the Nextcloud website and explored a bit beyond just that… He quickly ended up installing Nextcloud and started using Bookmarks as it seamed helpful and interesting. Then he decided to dedicate some time to better it, working with Christian, the initial developer of the app. In 2018 he took full responsibility of the app and continued to develop it on his own, spending quality time on the project.
Motivation and challenges
Time is a challenge! Biswajit was contributing to several open-source project, but at some point he could only dedicate his time to one project and decided to go for Nextcloud.
Privacy, having your data under control, open-source! These things are motivating me to invest my time contributing to Nextcloud.
His secret to keep up doing all the things he likes to do, is completing all officework within office hours, that leaves plenty of time if you oranize your day based on priority. This way Biswajit can spend time with his family and on his interests such as developing apps.
Initially it was a little challenging to understand the Nextcloud ecosystem as a new contributor however I am very comfortable now. The challenges I’ve faced in app developement have to do with implementing single sign-on and folder structure for Nextcloud Bookmarks
