Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 15/03/2026After releasing Shiori a few weeks ago, some power-bookmarkers imported thousands of links and I racked up a pretty decent X API + Claude bill. I probably over-reacted and raised prices too fast + nerfed the free plan too aggressively. 100
Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 05/03/2026I made a bunch of improvements last weekend to shiori.sh— 1) X bookmarks sync: added support for backfill-importing as many bookmarks as you want with a usage-based credit system. 180

Brian Lovin @brianlovin.com · 27/02/2026The thing that finally made Shiori work for me was an iOS Shortcut to quick-capture on mobile. The installation flow sucks a bit, though, so I wrote this guide: shiori.sh/docs/ios-sh...
