urlink

Simple-as-possible non-social bookmark service, including live search
and elegant frontend.

Use urlink LIVE on urlink.link!

I’ve also included a Chrome Extension for urlink (/chrome_extension).

This is an early work in progress (call it “alpha”).

The tools

• Python 3
• flask, flask_user, flask_login, flask_sqlalchemy,
  flask_migrate
• Bootstrap
• jQuery

Quickstart

mkvirtualenv urlink -p python3
pip install -r requirements_no_postgres.txt
export SECRET_KEY="asfdsfasdfasdffsdsdfa"
python app.py db init
python app.py db upgrade
gunicorn app:app

Environmental Variables

This application is configured through environmental variables.

Required (everything else is optional):

• SECRET_KEY (you must override)
• SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI (optional; defaults to sqlite)

You will want to look at flask-mail if you want to provide registration
email verification, as seen below:

• MAIL_USERNAME (you always need to set this!)
• MAIL_PASSWORD (you always need to set this!)
• MAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER (don’t set if you’re using gmail)
• MAIL_SERVER (don’t set if you’re using gmail)
• MAIL_PORT (don’t set if you’re using gmail)
• MAIL_USE_SSL (don’t set if you’re using gmail)
• MAIL_USE_TLS (don’t set if you’re using gmail)
