I added this to the tracker:
To address the "why not": using a repository is technically more complex than strictly required. Granted, syncing is usually a nontrivial task, but I'm more inclined to have a simple sync method that does not rely on any external tools or libraries.

I liked the idea behind DecSync[1]: a format spec for synchronization that relies entirely on the file system, but makes sure to avoid or resolve conflicts. If your app is able to import/export its bookmarks in this format, you could use any external tool (the author recommends Syncthing, which I love) to do the actual synchronization.

I think I read some folks using syncthing
I would also love this feature, and as far as self-hosting, could we have Git storage? Also as there are apps for both MacOS and iOS, would iCloud / Files.app sync be a possibility? (Latter would be amazing as it would allow any provider to be used, like ProtonDrive etc).

I cobbled something together for this recently, still haven't had a chance to tidy up the code in order to make it easy for other people to use, but it's on my todo list :)
tl;dr - it's a bookmarks page that links to a Python CGI script that takes user input and appends URLs and descriptions to a csv, which is then read by a script that builds the bookmarks page:

Sync bookmark? — I've never been fond of to sync my bookmark if firefox, but now on gemini, that I have a key that is attached to a 'avatar' I'm thinking that having my bookmark synced between all my lagrange browser would be interesting! I assume that if a page would be dedicated to your bookmark, lagrange could sync it... Is that something that is possible / in the work / never will happen?
