Import information from bookmarks for Baserow

Feature description

1. I would like to import my 3000 bookmarks from chrome into Baserow
2. with that it could be efficient - I could filter my bookmarks by domain url, created_at, title, description, tag, modified_at etc
3. I would like an auto-import feature - 1. that read the html, 2. captures the html information and 3. saves the html information to Baserow
4. Programs like Nocodb, Airtable, Seatable don’t have this feature

This is how it looks after being imported in Baserow.

Import a CSV file with 5000+ rows

Hi @nyx, welcome to the Baserow community! The amount of rows are indeed unlimited and you’re not doing anything wrong. We currently have a temporary import restriction of 5000 rows in the hosted version at https://baserow.io. This is going to change after the release of 1.11 when we’re going to make lots of improvements to the importing.
