#Usage
### Main features
Shaarli is intended:
* to share, comment and save interesting links and news
* to bookmark useful/frequent personal links (as private links) and share them between computers
* as a minimal blog/microblog/writing platform (no character limit)
* as a read-it-later list (for example items tagged `readlater`)
* to draft and save articles/ideas
* to keep code snippets
* to keep notes and documentation
* as a shared clipboard between machines
* as a todo list
* to store playlists (e.g. with the `music` or `video` tags)
* to keep extracts/comments from webpages that may disappear
* to keep track of ongoing discussions (for example items tagged `discussion`)
* [to feed RSS aggregators](http://shaarli.chassegnouf.net/?9Efeiw) (planets) with specific tags[](.html)
* to feed other social networks, blogs... using RSS feeds and external services (dlvr.it, ifttt.com ...)
### Using Shaarli as a blog, notepad, pastebin...
* Go to your Shaarli setup and log in
* Click the `Add Link` button
* To share text only, do not enter any URL in the corresponding input field and click `Add Link`
* Pick a title and enter your article, or note, in the description field; add a few tags; optionally check `Private` then click `Save`
* Voilà! Your article is now published (privately if you selected that option) and accessible using its permalink.
