There are browser JS APIs for browser extensions (which generally run in a
context above window.):

- https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/bookmarks
- https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/history
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/bookmarks
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/history
- WebExtensions (chrome, firefox)
  - http://arewewebextensionsyet.com

Yeoman : JS :: Cookiecutter : Python

There are yeoman project scaffolds for browser extensions:

- http://yeoman.io/generators/
- https://github.com/yeoman/generator-chrome-extension
- https://github.com/dgil/generator-firefox-extension#readme

A lesson plan is a (graph/tree) of Thing Sequences which is traversed
(optimally?)

- https://schema.org/Thing
- https://schema.org/CreativeWork

Node magnitudes come from expertly qualified content prioritizers.

Bookmarks queue:

- Zotero collections are like labels
- OpenLink Data Spaces (ODS)

    - ideally there'd be a tool to assist with preparing responses like
these for various information APIs (mailing lists, markdown (github,
gitlab, bitbucket, reddit), restructuredtext (sphinx docs)).
