Last bookmarking service I used was pinboard. I still have an account on there but that’s about it.

Re: Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services?
#372I have started doing something completely different than using bookmarks. I set up yacy[1] on a personal, internal server at my home, which I can access from all my devices, since they are always on my wireguard vpn. Yacy is actually a distributed search engine, but I run in 'Robinson mode' as a private peer, to keep it isolated, as I just want a personal search of only sites I have indexed. Anytime I come across som…

I use the free tier, didn't even know they had a paid tier, and I have had nothing disappear. Edit: They have more details here: https://help.getpocket.com/article/929-pocket-premium-perman... Permanent library means they make copies of the articles and links that you save, so they are available even if the original goes down.
Copying, and making available for money, someone else's webpage sounds a lot like copyright infringement?

To me, what Pocket is offering is like a warehouse where you can take books which you already own, and they're charging you for the warehouse space.
Doesn't sound like anything to do with copyright to me.

#374I switched from pinboard.in / del.icio.us (the social aspect was becoming less and less important) to a workflow based on braintool ( https://braintool.org/ ) and org-mode TODO and tags, it completely changed the way I work with bookmarks now.
Hey this is great to hear @ews (BrainTool dev here). FWIW WRT this conversation, my long term hope for BrainTool is to generate a thriving ecosystem of shared curated topic trees, each one a little summary of a corner of the internet.

#375I dropped pinboard.in recently. The interface hasn't had improvements in years, the extensions are all third party, and the API if you wanted to build your own is pretty limiting. The mobile interface is pretty poor too. I'm now moved over the Raindrop.io[1], which is another solo-developer outfit, but has had a lot of work put into it. It does all the same stuff Pinboard does (including page archiving but beside the…

#378My incredibly unsophisticated, but surprisingly effective approach, is to share by email with myself (e.g. mail to myname+bookmark@mydomain.com). Mail rules can then file them, I can add any relevant notes or hashtags to the mail body at the time I share the link, and the chronological ordering is helpful. Imap search is usually 'good enough' to turn up a half-remembered link or article. I have been meaning to add an…
Hah, you might like my project https://forlater.email . :)
edit: feature/request
Scenario, if I save a link from HackerNews, I like to save the submission of it as well. I wonder if I send a HackerNews link to forlater.email; it can parse the article and remind me I got it from HackerNews.
For example, I'd submit "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31852384" and in the email, it'd contain:
1. HackerNews link (so i can review the comments as well)
2. Original article link and content
food for thought, but love your product idea

#379I (still) use Pinboard: https://pinboard.in/u:pratyush Reasons: 1. Archives - those tutorials and guides stay when the original pages go 404 2. API - I use the api to automatically post my bookmarks to my blog 3. Full-text search: this is very very useful when needed 4. Social Discovery: Search that niche website / app on Pinboard. It shows lots of other people who found that same thing as interesting. We can then fo…
