Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services? • Hacker News Board

I haven't thought about it in years... but is Delicious still a thing? I would think (hope?) there would be an open source, PHP-based project I could throw onto commodity hosting to collect and manage bookmarks. If this doesn't exist it should -- and I wonder how hard it would be to also integrate saving/sharing tab-sets as well.

You can self host with Wallabag

I use and love Pinboard, plus the Instapaper-like read-it-later integration Paperback (readpaperback.com) set as my home page in my mobile browser. It’s a great combo.

Isn't HN a bookmarking service?

Well you could use it that way by adding stuff to your favourites. A largely unused but useful feature of HN.

HN has a favorites feature?

I use Pocket, and Alfread on top of that. Will switch out pocket for instapaper though, because Pocket cannot seem to download articles in the background, so when I'm reading on unreliable connections the articles are never there.

I have a paid pinboard subscription.
