InkGist

Project Overview

InkGist is a minimalist black-and-white AI web summarizer and multi-user cloud bookmark platform: paste any public link and it extracts a one-line summary, smart tags, feature notes and action guides.

It doubles as a full bookmark manager: the browser extension imports Chrome and Edge favorites in one click, cards support drag-and-drop folders, hover previews and inline editing, with Karakeep sync and exports to browser bookmarks or Obsidian knowledge bases.

Item	Value
Platform	Web (self-hosted), plus extension and bookmarklet
Stack	Nuxt 4 + Vue 3 + TypeScript + Nitro
AI models	Zhipu GLM, DeepSeek, Google Gemini
Storage	local JSON or Cloudflare D1
License	MIT

Drop in a link for instant summaries, keep bookmarks tidy, all in a clean ink aesthetic.

Key Features

• AI web summaries: extracts one-line summaries, smart tags, feature notes and action guides in seconds
• Multi-model switching: Zhipu, DeepSeek, Gemini and other LLM APIs
• Batch summarizing: queue many URLs behind a controlled 5-way pipeline, abort one or all tasks
• Extension import: the official extension reads Chrome and Edge favorites for selective bulk import
• Karakeep sync: connects to Karakeep cloud or self-hosted instances with precisely aligned fields
• Multi-format export: Netscape bookmark HTML with folder trees, Obsidian and Markdown files with YAML frontmatter
• Bookmark management: drag into folders, hover previews, inline summary editing, 1-3 column grids
• Multi-user accounts: separate sign-up and login, PBKDF2-SHA512 salted hashes and 365-day signed tokens
• Safety checks: URL deduplication, public-domain validation and SSRF private-network blocking

Target Audience

• Users with overflowing bookmarks and no time for long reads
• Knowledge workers on Obsidian and Notion
• Karakeep users
• Small teams sharing a bookmark library
• Self-hosting fans who like minimal design

Quick Start

1. Deploy the server with the Docker image or the standalone archive
2. Configure your model API key in environment variables
3. Register an account, install the extension or drag the bookmarklet
4. Click the bookmarklet on any page, or paste links to summarize
5. Bulk import old favorites with the extension and organize by dragging

Core Advantages

• Time-saving reads: structured summaries in seconds, deep reading is your choice
• Flexible deployment: Docker or standalone, with Cloudflare D1 or local JSON storage
• Open data: bookmarks flow in and out, pairing with Karakeep, Obsidian and more
• Isolated accounts: per-user data separation with strongly hashed passwords

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
Deployment	Docker or standalone package
Runtime	Node.js (self-hosted); storage optionally Cloudflare D1
Model key	an API key from Zhipu, DeepSeek or Gemini
Browser	Chrome / Edge (extension), any modern browser (web)

Notes

• Bring your own key: AI summaries need an API key for your chosen model in the deployment config
• Summaries are not the source: results come from LLMs, verify the original for critical decisions
• Harden public deployments: use HTTPS and strong passwords when exposing the service, SSRF blocking is built in
