#432I just use Pocket, it's not fancy but it works!
Re: Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services?
#433I 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…
This is how I always imagined the search engines of the future to work. All the data is local first and the user is in control.
me too, when I first used delicious I was hoping that individual curators could provide a more in-depth "meta search" engine! Pocket is not bad, it provides some interesting links to new stuff on the web.

#435https://www.xbrowsersync.org/ Locally encrypted, open source, free with no ads or can be self-hosted. And most importantly, its not tied to any particular browser. With xBrowserSync for bookmarks and Bitwarden for passwords, I can browser hop as much as I want.
I use it as well, the UI is a little cheesy and windows XPish (at least to my eyes). Maybe there is a technical limitation preventing it from inheriting the browser theme.
But so far, it's worked ok.

#436I just leave the tab open forever
I have 236 tabs open in Firefox right now :(

#437I found bookmarking tools often lacking a more holistic integration into research workflows that are not just about saving things, but also taking notes. We’ve developed Memex to solve for that. It’s an offline first extension for bookmarking and annotating websites, pdfs and youtube videos. Also you can collaboratively curate and discuss them, and it has a mobile app to save and annotate websites. It’s availabe for…
Been using Memex since the old UI, (don't remember the version) and I would highly recommend this.

#438Earlier quoted context omitted.
I pay for the premium tier. I've been disappointed by their promises about content being retained forever. There's a big caveat that they don't actually keep paywalled content forever. This is annoying because I might save something that's not paywalled right now, highlight it, then come back a year later and I can't get to my highlights anymore. And they've been extremely unreliable in being able to retrieve all of…
Exact same, Pocket is so close to being the perfect service and yet so far. I have a huge archive and their search is just terrible. I will have a specific keyword from an article I know I have in there, and yet all I get from their results is utterly irrelevant articles. Making it worse, you can't filter the search results to, say, your Favorites, so I have to sift through all the random crap in my full archive. I a…
Yeah I really hate this. And they've had just stupidly obvious bugs to fix for so long. For instance, in the web client their logic for handling quotes is broken. So you literally can't search for an "exact match" (even though Pocket anyway sucks at exact matches), you just get """"my search term"""" with 4 quotes that returns either 0 or 1000 results. I can't fathom how this particular bug could be more than a one-line fix in the HTML escape logic.

I'd love to hear more about how you set all this up, particularly, do you have some sort of extension or bookmarklet that submits the current page to yacy's crawler?

#440I use org-capture. The setup is a bookmark in firefox that triggers emacs, where I save all the pages I visit and that interest me. The links are saved in a plain text file, which I later edit and export to any format I wish. A good explanation here [1]
