Ask HN: Where do you store bookmarks?

I've started to post URLs I find interesting to Twitter and Facebook but both platforms are terrible for finding stuff again.

What do you use? What's the del.icio.us of 2018?

I'd actually be interested in hearing about this too. I stopped storing them in my browser now.

I figure some kind of org-mode solution will be my eventual tactic, but I'm interesting if anyone else on here has a more purpose built system.

If you mean social bookmarking, I don't do that. If I find something interesting I share it on HN (happens really rarely) or on the chat of the "newsroom" for our podcast.

If it's stuff that I need to bookmark for further personal use, I have an owncloud (yes, I know) instance with the Bookmarks app installed.

Definitely. Reasonably priced, I'm the customer, and it works with Android and Firefox, which are my everyday tools.

I have a huge collection on Pinboard https://pinboard.in/. It's a very simple browser-accessible site that charges $11 per year for what seems like an unlimited number of bookmarks. The item properties are URL, title, description and tag(s). And it displays how many other users have added the same link. I consider this tool indispensable.

I don't. Would you clue me in?

I have had a big issue with storing bookmarks and found Safari's way of managing them too limiting.

I decided to off load my public bookmarks to the web and let other people manage my bookmark collection instead. I built Learn Anything (https://learn-anything.xyz) to store my 'learning' bookmarks. And I manage many curated GitHub lists to store everything else (https://github.com/learn-anything/curated-lists).

I also have a wiki that stores both bookmarks and my notes, open source. This way anyone can extend both the bookmarks and notes if they wish. (https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz)

I have then built my own tool in Go to query any of these public bookmarks. (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/alfred-learn-anything)

About a year ago I copied everything into Evernote. I had a bunch of disparate bookmarks across different desktop/mobile browsers and in places like medium/feedly. I created notebooks for different topics (in my case, "Data Science", "Frontend", "Design / Product", "Personal Efficiency", etc.). Then I use Evernote's chrome plugin to clip pages (I usually clip the whole thing so Evernote can do full text search over it). I then use tags for sub-sections of each topic. It's worked pretty well for me and I'm able to hold onto things even if the original source goes away.
