Of course. I bookmark them using bookmarks in my browser. I have about 15k bookmarks now. I also save my session files so I have tabs with history too. For both bookmarks and tab session files I have perl scripts to process/search them.

#12After years of jumping between different platforms and systems I've landed on linkhut [0]. I like that it's social by default and chronological-oriented, with flexible but really basic options for organization (tags and 'read later' flag). It makes it so that bookmarking neat things actually feels like it has a point, even if I don't always organize them in a way I can easily find later. [0] https://linkhut.org/
is this related to sourcehut?
Re: Ask HN: Do you still bookmark websites?
#13Yes I heavily use bookmarks. I got back into it a few years ago when I quit going to large forums like Reddit and needed a way to remember important URLs I knew I'd want later. I keep them in an HTML file in git along with all my dot files.
do you use an extension to interactively save the links?
Re: Ask HN: Do you still bookmark websites?
#14Yeah, otherwise I'd end up with 9000 tabs. I use firefox and make use of the tagging system there, it's nice.

15K :o
That is some number. Mine would have been similar, but they got lost as I moved between tools.

#16I use an ever expanding text file, plus bookmarks. The textfile is #1 for me, and can live on various drives.

#17I use floccus to sync my bookmarks to my nextcloud. Especially on the phone its useful, since accessing my bookmarks in firefox for android is a hassle.
The sync is a major issue. If I save them on my desktop's Chrome, then my iPhone's Safari does not know those.

#18Yes I still use bookmarks, though it's tempting to have chatgpt5 build me a memex so I can save whole pages and sites and mark them up to save in a journal instead.
Interesting. I would want something similar -- like an old school web annotator but kinda automated.
Re: Ask HN: Do you still bookmark websites?
#19Another shot at a bookmark manager is welcome. The usual story is "I bookmarked 20,000 web pages over 3 years and then I realized I never looked at any of them!" I built an "image sorter" which used to ingest image galleries using a bookmarklet which would queue the galleries to get crawled with a web crawler, I would then classify and rank the image galleries in an HTMX-based UI. I really do look at the images every…
If I do one, it would be for personal use.
Because the moment it evolves into publicly available, then it would suck me into the dopamine of adding features for others :-)

#20Yeah, I bookmark stuff, but just in my browser. No apps or extensions — keeping it simple.
That is a good inspiration to chase. Keep it simple.
