I know HN follows the "less is more" philosophy, but one thing I'd really like is the ability to "save" a submission like you can on reddit. As it is, the only way I can do that is to comment, which probably isn't very good for anybody.

Just upvote, then: http://news.ycombinator.com/saved?id=largesse

Fair enough. Thanks.

There is probably a service that could take care of this for me, but generally skip bookmarks altogether and just email myself the URL and a few Keywords that are meaningful to me. Then I can just use Gmail's search to find what I'm looking for at a later date. So it's essentially browser/OS/device/location agnostic.

Thank you for Pineapple, it's such a wonderful resource, plus the design is really great. Did you design and develop it yourself?

Yessir! Did the entire thing myself :) By the way... This may seem crazy but I knew I recognized your name. Someone registered with your same username 6 months ago. Heh. Sometimes my memory is awesome, and other days I can't remember what I did the day before. http://pineapple.io/profiles/citricsquid

Very impressive, it would be very easy to pass the site off as something that had an entire team of people behind it, everything is so well polished. Do you have any long term plans for it?

That's me! Found it when you posted on reddit (http://redd.it/yh6w3) :D

Kippt is really good for any type of bookmark. I made my site http://pineapple.io specifically for all my development bookmarks. Since then it's grown to be quite a nice awesome database. I moderate it really heavily for quality, so if you skim all 100 pages I guarantee you will find tons of hidden gems.

I have put my blood sweat and tears into it. Ever since being a kid I've always wanted a site that lots and lots of people use.

My dream is coming true. It's extremely 'dear' to me, and as such I'm continually developing it and trying to make the best possible experience for users. There's a lot of content out there and I wanted a place to only show the GOOD stuff, not the 1000's of pages of crap.

Long term goals are still in the air as far as my plans, but it definitely will be with me for the long term, that's for sure :)

Pinboard. 25441 bookmarks and counting, carried over from the 15000 or so I imported from delicious a few years ago. http://pinboard.in/u:deusx

The thing is, though, how do you use bookmarks? I hoard everything and rely on search. I feel like once you're over a dozen or so, that's what you need to do. I long, long ago gave up trying to organize them by hand

I use my pinboard to collect links from my tweets and status updates posts, and I use IFTTT and a to:fb tag to post from pinboard to facebook.

I also use a bookmarklet to post to pinboard with tags.

Later, I use pinboard as a personal search engine between tags and search terms. Basically, everything I used to do with Delicious for years

Same problem, I use chrome bookmarks mainly (due to the sync with my mobile and every other chrome I have) and Pocket. And sometimes also Kippt. I wonder if there is a service that syncs your Chrome bookmarks (one way, read only) to some nice web UI that allows better searching (e.g. search by folder name, not just bookmark title)

1. Export bookmarks to HTML 2. Bookmark the resulting HTML file or upload to someplace online. 3. Use browser find function.

Nice hack if you didn't have to repeat this each time you update you bookmarks. Just wondering if it was done already so I don't reinvent the wheel.
