Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori/issues/72

I would suggest using the user’s home directory for the default location of the shiori database.

I call shiori from different contexts where “current directory” is not well-defined (nor the same).

I know I can set ENV_SHIORI_DB but since I am on macOS this is a bit tedious because GUI applications do not inherit environment variables setup in the shell, so this will need to be set in multiple places.

If you agree I suggest prefixing it with a dot to make it a hidden file, e.g. ~/.shiori_db.

I realize this might be very unixy, but it already seems rather unixy with a shell command to manage your bookmarks.
