# Blasta - The agreeable and cordial civic annotation system.
|
|
|
|
Blasta is a collaborative bookmarks manager for organizing online content.
|
|
|
|
It allows you to add links to your personal collection of links, to categorize
|
|
them with keywords, and to share and synchronize your collection among your own
|
|
software, devices, machines, and also with others.
|
|
|
|
The ability of Blasta to display to you the links that other people have
|
|
collected and shared, as well as showing you who else has bookmarked a specific
|
|
link is what makes Blasta a collaborative system.
|
|
|
|
You can also view the links collected by others, and subscribe to the links of
|
|
people whose lists you deem to be interesting.
|
|
|
|
Blasta does not limit you to save links of certain types; you can save links of
|
|
types adc, dweb, ed2k, feed, ftp, gemini, geo, gopher, http, ipfs, irc, magnet,
|
|
mailto, monero, mms, news, sip, udp, xmpp and any scheme and type that you
|
|
desire.

## Technicalities
|
|
|
|
Blasta is a federated bookmarking system which is based on XMPP and stores
|
|
bookmarks on your own XMPP account; to achieve this task, Blasta utilizes the
|
|
following XMPP specifications:
|
|
|
|
* [XEP-0163: Personal Eventing Protocol](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0163.html)
|
|
* [XEP-0060: Publish-Subscribe](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html)
|
|
|
|
Blasta operates as an XMPP client, and therefore, does not have a bookmarks
|
|
system nor an account system, of its own.
|
|
|
|
Blasta has a database which is compiled by aggregating the bookmarks of people
|
|
who are participating in the Blasta system, and that database is utilized to
|
|
relate accounts and shared links.
|
|
|
|
The connection to the Blasta system is made with XMPP accounts.
