I use Twitter. I tweet out links I like, and search in Twitter when I try to find something I remember. The added bonus is that others can discover the links too.
Ask HN: How do you manage your bookmarks?

#262Earlier quoted context omitted.
Or, a book mark means I have vetted this page and know it to be of good high quality content. So in this context a bookmark search would be a good feature. Better layout and categorization would help as well. The services that tried and failed to provide this just redid browser bookmarks and added social. I think they missed out on why people have 100 tabs open.
For example, my ordinary PDF document creation needs are covered by trivially exporting them from LibreOffice. Should I need actual PDF editing , I'd open all of the bookmarks I filed under "utilities/PDF" over the years to find something useful: a lean compromise between proactively installing unneeded software and ignoring interesting things I stumble upon. I'd expect to do a web search for promising software that…
What I would find better as well is if a websearch could use this bookmarking as an additional flag to rank search results in a personal/social context. I imagine this was an ideal behind google+ plus marker thing.

#263I use an app, DevonThink. It lets me put downloaded pages into folders, with an auto classification function. I have full text search on the pages.

#264There are 3 types of bookmarks: 1) Read-later Something interesting you want to read. Items in this category should be automatically removed after a certain period of time, so it doesn't get out of hand. New RSS feed items would also fit into this category. 2) Save-for-later Something you're sure will be useful down the road. This should be retrieved first and foremost using a powerful full-text search engine. Minima…
I feel like you understand my digital hoarding better than most. Would love to contribute in any way I can to this project (financial or my own sweat). Let me know if you are looking for help.
Yes, let’s talk! Assuming you dropped your email on my website, just reply to the automated signup email and we can take it from there.

I gave up hope on bookmarks. This idea shines some hope! I miss delicious, that used to be so good.
Re: Ask HN: How do you manage your bookmarks?
#267I use emotional memory.
Examples:
Was it to do with climate change? Check the emails to my sister.
Was it some geeky thing? Check the emails to my brother.
Was it to do with teaching? Check the hyperlinks list that I created in MS Word (Outline view).
Was it ego-boosting? Check my HN comments.
Was it to do with other interests, such as shares, bridge, Twitch, solar, …? Check my Chrome folders.
Was it political, e.g. Trump? Check my MS Edge browser bookmarks.
Was it software related? Check my Facebook "Saved" list.
Was it biology-themed? Check my Facebook posts.
Is it a link needed daily? Make it a shortcut on my Edge/Chrome start-up page.
This gives a number of categories that are easily remembered, because of the emotional connections, and can be readily searched.
Lastly, I mostly use Chrome, because if I don't explicitly save a recent interest, I can quickly find it with Chrome's History (Ctrl-H).

#268I use https://tefter.io (Disclaimer I'm a founder) Usually my workflows are: 1. Use the chrome extension to add something 2. Sometimes I add tags or add it to a list 3. If it's related to work I'll add it to my work organisation For links I come across on Slack, I use the Slack app ( https://slack.com/apps/AFBC4A147-tefter ) to quickly bookmark any links included in a message somebody posted. When it comes to bookmar…
any plans for a mac app?
There's an electron-based desktop app.

#269Hi, I wrote a tool that I use my self and it works more or less like good old del.icio.us it is called https://yabs.io and I would love if you would be kind enough to try and and give some feedback. Main idea is tagging - that's help me to find things later when I need this bookmark.
