Unmark

An open source to-do application for bookmarks.

We offer this source code for Unmark completely free. We do so in hopes that Unmark will live on for many years even if we stop maintaining it.

To support its further development please consider donating via Paypal. Or, you can contribute to the code.

• Download the latest release - Grab the latest and greatest version of Unmark.

Installation

The local-version of Unmark is recommended for at least intermediate users so the instructions are rather light on detail. However, if you need assistance beyond what is provided please ping us on Twitter. Alternatively, if you have issues setting up Unmark after following the instructions, we recommend looking through the issues on GitHub to see how others have solved their problems. Or, to create your own issue.

Installation Instructions

From Zip (binary)

• Download the latest release

• Fill in proper database credentials in /application/config/database.php
• Optionally: Update your HOSTS file and create a virtual host for Unmark. We use "unmark.local" as an example.

• From there Unmark will set up the proper database tables and then ask you to register your username with the app

From git repository

• Run git clone https://github.com/cdevroe/unmark.git (Or, if you've forked the repo, use your URL)

Importing bookmarks

Unmark currently supports importing from Unmark export file, Readability, Pinboard, Delicious, and many other services. However, to ensure this works properly be sure that your PHP.ini file's "max_upload_size" setting is larger than the file you're trying to import.

How to contribute to Unmark

One major way you can contribute is to report any issues you find with Unmark on Github and being as verbose as you can be for us to replicate the issue. This goes a long way in making Unmark better for everyone on every type of set up.

Another way is to contribute your own code via Pull Requests. Here are some notes on how to do that.

• Fork the repository on GitHub into your own account
• Create your own branch git checkout -b your-branch-name
• Update your code and push those code changes back to your fork's branch git push origin your-branch-name
• Submit a Pull Request using that branch
• And please accept our thanks!

This makes it easy for us to test your code locally and also allows the community to have a discussion around it.

Just a note: We use Grunt to compile our SASS files into CSS and concatenate and compress our JavaScript files for use and a few other small tasks. For any updates to JavaScript or styles you will need to use Grunt too. See the Grunt web site or ping us on Slack for help.

Creating a release

• Be sure that index.php's default environment variable is "production"
• Be sure version variable in config.php is accurate
• Compile, check-in, and commit compiled assets by running Grunt
• Merge into master
• Test
• Push master to Github
• Tag release via Github

Support via Twitter and Email
