Re: Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services?
#442Yes. I built my own https://www.kontxt.io and hit the front page of HN not too long ago. It's a modern hybrid productivity and social bookmarking / news / knowledge aggregation service. Think social web layer with CMS and social network.
You can save the site / pdf (link or archive), engage with highlights, comments, and polls. There's privacy controls. It's searchable. Everything can be organized with tags as well as folders. You can join groups and follow people to discover shared content. Highlights can be shared natively to popular social platforms and observed with analytics. User's can also set a personal promotion with what they share as an added benefit and incentive to provide value.

#443I use the open source omnivore app which syncs all my articles and highlights to logseq https://briansunter.com/graph/#/page/omnivore-logseq-guide

#444I 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 insane! Thanks for recommendation! Was able to set it up relatively quickly and now have a personal search of all the things that I find interesting, this is insane!

#445I use https://mymind.com It's also a good dumping ground for any kind of interesting snippet, image, or whatever I find interesting. There are some neat little features for occasionally sorting through your "mind" and discarding unused information. It's not free, but I don't mind because the UI happens to work well for me. It's thoughtful, well-crafted, and I'm happy to support them.
Looks interesting but has bad reviews on iOS App Store
I can’t give an opinion on the iOS experience. It really could be bad. What I love is the web experience, and it’s where I tend to use a screen so it works well for me.

#446https://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 recall in the past lots of people reporting issues with their bookmarks going missing with xBrowserSync. It also hasn't been updated in quite some time. My biggest issue, is it appeared to primarily integrate with the browsers bookmark manager... and once you had thousands of bookmarks in the browser bookmark manager, it started lagging. I prefer something with a native local service to search and manage bookmarks,…
I've been using xBrowserSync for over 2 years to sync 4 devices without issue. I do occasionally export my bookmarks for backup, but haven't had to use it. I switched after losing years of bookmarks to a Firefox sync issue. One of the best things about xBrowserSync (for me) turned out to be its workflow. I can't imagine going back to bookmarking in nested folders. Using tags with search is just so much better.

Re: Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services?
#449All my bookmarks goes to a mess. So I found the best for me, at first save everything with Singlefile (extensions for browsers), then add everything to zip file.
To search I use grep, find, etc.
And this is perfect!

This seems really good for me but it requires a google or apple account which is the only reason why I wont be switching to it.
