### 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
- 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.
