myworkspace/Linkding Browser Extension/LinkdingSync/docs/chatlog.md

I have created a new folder named Linkding Browser Extension. I want to create a firefox browser extension that works with my self-hosted linkding service at links.blabber1565.com. I already have the linkding-extension at https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding-extension/ installed and use it to easily add URLs to my collection. However, this extension has very limited functionality, so I would like to design and build my own. Primarily, I would like my extension to synchronize the browser's bookmarks with a corresponding Bundle in my linkding collection - so a bundle will be created for each browser instance or browser group. This way, browsers that share the same bundle will also be syncrhonized with each other, but I can use different bundles for personal and work.
