Hello Tim, Your response was really helpful.
In fact, you defining what the "same input" is about, proved to be the key. So, appending a timestamp to the bookmark's title (and thus avoiding the "same input" case), seems to have solved the syncing issues. As for url.length; It can go up to at least 2k, as I noticed. Notes bigger than that in length, are just trimmed ( for now ). Sure, multiple bookmarks (parts) can be used in order to increase this size limit to whatever, but that’s for a future version. Thank you again. ps1: Bookmark.update doesn’t change the url (not yet). Will this change any time soon? ps2: There was this thread I started earlier suggesting a Sync API to be introduced for generic syncing needs (instead of this trick). Any chance of this happening?
