# linkdb - terminal-first bookmarking.

linkdb is a simple, zero-dependency CLI tool for collecting and managing interesting project links (like "awesome" lists).

It lets you build a personal database of project URLs you want to remember and organize them locally with search, tags, and export tools.

Designed for people who enjoy discovering things on the internet and keeping track of what matters.

It consists of a single-file Python script using only the standard library. Python 3.8+.

## Data Format

Entries are stored in `data/entries.json`:

```json
{
  "categories": ["synthesis", "dsp", "midi"],
  "entries": [
    {
      "name": "project-name",
      "category": "synthesis",
      "desc": "Project description",
      "url": "https://example.com",
      "repo": "https://github.com/user/project",
      "links": [
        {
          "url": "https://example.com/tutorial",
          "title": "Getting Started Guide",
          "link_type": "tutorial",
          "note": "Great introduction"
        }
      ]

}
```

Each entry must have:
- `name` - unique project name
- `category` - from defined categories list

Optional fields:
- `links` - array of related links (articles, tutorials, videos, docs, discussions)

## Programmatic API

```python
from linkdb import (
    add_entry, update_entry, remove_entry, get_entry,
    sort_entries_file, find_duplicates, create_backup
)

# Add entry (returns entry dict, raises ValueError/KeyError on error)
entry = add_entry("my-project", "dsp", "Description",
                  repo="https://github.com/...")

# Add from GitHub URL (auto-fetches metadata)
from linkdb import add_entry_from_github
entry = add_entry_from_github("https://github.com/user/repo", "dsp")

# Update entry
entry = update_entry("my-project", desc="New description")

# Get entry (returns dict or None)
entry = get_entry("my-project")

# Remove entry
entry = remove_entry("my-project")

# Sort entries file
sort_entries_file()                      # Sort by name
sort_entries_file(by_category=True)      # Sort by category, then name

# Find duplicates
duplicates = find_duplicates()

# Create backup
backup_path = create_backup()
```

## Development

```bash
# Install dev dependencies
uv sync

# Run tests
make test

# Run full QA (test + lint + typecheck + format)
