I built a website to post links to.

Nice. How does it works?

kinda like my own personal HN(lol)...I post links with hash tags in the title. I added a login but you can post anonymously. I just haven't worked on it in ages.

Use to do this, but it was a headache. I am aware of and considering pinboard.in due to the recent YCF debacle.

Which YCF debacle you mean?

For quick desktop->mobile I banged out this bookmarklet to gen a qr code. Caveats: this was a quick hack and probably doesn't work on everything. super long urls could be a problem. javascript:(function(){if(document.getElementById){var x=document.body;var o=document.createElement('script');if(typeof(o)!='object') o=document.standardCreateElement('script');o.setAttribute('src','https://qrbookmarklet.googlecode.com/sv…

OOPS. looks like i did not create that one. It is straight from https://code.google.com/archive/p/qrbookmarklet/. I apologize. honest mistake. I've written similar bookmarklets in the past and assumed this one was one of mine.

Created my own shortlinks that I remember when I need to lookup things on other devices.

Pushbullet works for me. I just wish it let me choose which instance of Chrome on which machine to push to, rather than all of them.

I used to but now use the Papaly Chrome extension. I like that I can create private categorized boards that automagically sync across all my devices.
