://link is a human+computer legible plaintext link storage+reference format
://link entries are separated by two or more new line characters
:://link entries have three components
1. url(s) seperated by one new line character
2. single-line description, terminated with a period. (optional)
3. single-line comma separated list of tags that can be used to further describe or organize links (optional)
desc & tag lines are indented using 4 spaces for legibility and to denote the end of a url list
Would love to hear any thoughts on improving this format or otherwise making it easier to interface with.
@deianeira what do you define as a link? are you protocol agnostic? would magnet links (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_URI_scheme) fit into these lists?
@anreoh yes, a link can be any string of text.
@deianeira if one link contains only #2 and one link contains only #3 would an interpreter only know the difference by seeing if the line ends in a period?
A trivial and exhaustive collection of :://link entries might look like this: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/de1ane1ra/link/main/link.txt
