Bookie2
A Chrome bookmark manager that turns the new-tab page into a searchable, themeable launchpad with keyboard shortcuts.
My role: Browser-extension development and interface design.
Project notes · September 2026
Problem
A growing bookmark collection can be difficult to navigate when the links you use most are buried in folders.
Implementation
A Manifest V3 browser extension with a bookmark grid, search and sorting, a keyboard command palette, and customizable themes.
What it does
Users can browse and search their browser bookmarks from a custom new-tab page and adjust its appearance to their workspace.
A useful starting point for the browser
Bookie2 replaces Chrome’s new-tab page with a visual way to find and open saved links.
What it includes
- A bookmark grid for browsing the browser’s existing collection.
- Search and sorting for narrowing that collection to the links you need.
- Keyboard controls, including a command palette and a shortcut to focus search.
- Theme selection, including Omarchy-inspired themes, with preferences stored through Chrome’s storage API.
- Virtualized rendering for displaying part of the bookmark collection at a time.
What this demonstrates
The project brings together browser APIs, interface state, keyboard interaction, and a customizable visual system using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
This is an independent browser-extension project. The source is public and includes developer-installation instructions; a Chrome Web Store release is not currently linked.
