For a long time I wanted to figure out a way to organize my "bookmarks" that I have scattered all over the place. I have many many favorited posts on HN, I used Reddit's "save" feature, I add videos to "watch later" or some other playlist in Youtube, etc etc. I thought maybe I could one day unify all this into one place where I can tag them so I know why I bookmarked them (I have definitely sifted through pages of my…
Hey folks, another option that I've settled on (after messing with shaarli, shiori and a few others) is Buku. Usually I really like plain text instead of dbs, but the killer here for me, I realize, is that I'm not tied to any one method of input OR output. Mainly, I do adding through a bookmarklet, and retrieval through "bukuserver," a self-hosted web thing. But also, I have the option of the command line (for bulk a…

Yeeeears ago (around 2011/2012) I've built a simple bookmarking app called Miitla (MInd IT LAter), you can still find references to it[1]. I was focused on providing a simple bookmarking experience with tags and such. Unfortunately, I was not motivated enough to keep updating the project and in the end, I stopped. I got a few thousand users, but at the time my day job was generating nice income and I wasn't thinking…
Persistence is the key.
Two thoughts: - I like the no-nonsense landing page, but what I'd like more is to be able to see what the product actually looks like without having to sign up. At least screenshots, but a demo would be nice. - I'm looking to migrate away from Pinboard, but I like how you can see all of a user's bookmarks (e.g: https://pinboard.in/u:justusthane ) unless they mark them private. I get that the point of Webtag is it's p…
Just curious, why are you planning to migrate away from Pinboard? I have been meaning to sign up for years.

About to encode my photo library as a set of "data:image/jpeg;base64" URLs...
ah, been done haha Show HN: BookmarkFS – Store files as Chrome bookmarks that sync between devices https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32887863
And I know of a generic blob store on top of (older) Snapchat API: https://github.com/hausdorff/snapchat-fs
It's really fun to "exploit" APIs in this way to create alternative uses.
No way that could backfire.

Here is an interesting plot twist. At the time, one of Miitla "competitors" was Kippt[1], I was impressed with their design at the time and followed them very carefully. Turns out, Kippt founder is Linear founder these days... Persistence is the key. [1] https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/kippt

Your initial want is pretty close to I ended up creating for myself for all things text-based with https://notado.app . I ended up ditching my old stuff in Instapaper, Readwise and Pinboard back in 2020ish because it didn't really fit the data model[1] (content-first rather than link-first) and since then I'm very happy with how everything is archived[2], organized and shareable[3] in Notado. I still think it's possi…
"Free unlimited bookmarks. No limits on storage." No way that could backfire.
