Ask HN: How do save/organize your readed articles?

#1
How do you save and organize relevant stories/article you find on the web?

-Browser bookmarks dont save articles, only the link(some links will go down)

-Evernote web clipper is very good, but recent increase in the evernote subscription price, and it is not opensource .. i dont want to use it,,

I've recently deleted 224 bookmarks, all very interesting and neatly organized... but there's only so much time available, it felt like I was just hoarding bookmarks.

Now everything that I haven't accessed in a week gets deleted, I finally have some free space in the bookmark toolbar.

Anyway, to answer your question: for really important stuff (rarely), I just "print to pdf" and upload to google drive.

Print to PDF make you unable to search for content other than title right?

One of my motivation to change the way i keep information is hoarding bookmarks, If turtl have a browser plugin similar to evernote webclipper it would be my go!

As sync is not important for me, i think i will save in folders tree as Htlm,

It shouldn't, since the PDFs should have the full text.

For saving links, I'm a hoarder on Facebook (saving) and Twitter (favourites). For articles, it's usually saving to PDF or using Pocket (https://getpocket.com). For articles that I will actually read/share (i.e. not a "ooo, looks interesting!") I use https://saved.io.

Suffice to say...huge mess. But it kind of works.
