• Save bookmarks to your personal data server (PDS)
• Automatic URL enrichment (title extraction)
• View and manage your bookmarks
• Uses community.lexicon.bookmarks.bookmark schema

• Frontend: React + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS

• Deno installed
• Val Town account

Create these in your Val.town environment:

BASE_URL=https://your-val.val.town
COOKIE_SECRET=your-random-secret-string-at-least-32-chars

Val.town provides SQLite automatically. The COOKIE_SECRET is required for encrypting OAuth session cookies.

The kipclip mascot is a friendly chicken carrying a bookmark bag. Replace the placeholder image URL in frontend/components/Login.tsx with your Cloudinary-hosted mascot image.

1. User enters their AT Protocol handle
2. App redirects to /login?handle=user.bsky.social
3. OAuth package handles authentication with user's PDS
4. Session stored in Val.town SQLite (30 days)
5. User can now view/add bookmarks

• GET /api/bookmarks - List user's bookmarks from PDS
• POST /api/bookmarks - Add new bookmark with URL enrichment
• DELETE /api/bookmarks/:rkey - Delete a bookmark
• /api/auth/session - Check current session
• /api/auth/logout - Logout
• /login - OAuth login flow
• /oauth/callback - OAuth callback

Bookmarks are stored using the community lexicon:

{
  subject: string;      // URL being bookmarked
  createdAt: string;    // ISO 8601 datetime
  tags?: string[];      // Optional tags
}

The app enriches bookmarks with page titles by fetching and parsing HTML metadata.

• Keep code files under 500 lines
• Write testable code with dependency injection
• Test files go next to code: service.ts → service.test.ts
• Follow SOLID principles
• Use TypeScript for all code
