<p>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 <code>readlater</code>)
* 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 <code>music</code> or <code>video</code> tags)
* to keep extracts/comments from webpages that may disappear
* to keep track of ongoing discussions (for example items tagged <code>discussion</code>)
* <a href="http://shaarli.chassegnouf.net/?9Efeiw">to feed RSS aggregators</a> (planets) with specific tags
* to feed other social networks, blogs... using RSS feeds and external services (dlvr.it, ifttt.com ...)</p>
