Syncing Bookmarks using Floccus and Git

I wanted a self-hosted version of the browser’s bookmarks sync system. There are quite a few options. The most appropriate one seems to be xBrowserSync. But even that needs a server-side API setup. It seemed a bit too complex for a simple service and for self-hosting. Then I came across Floccus.
