Re: Ask HN: Where do you store bookmarks?
#22I used to bookmark things, then realized I never went back to look at them.
If I find something especially interesting and important, I email a link to myself.
Most of the time if I want to find something again it's easier to just google it again than to dig through bookmarks.

#23another vote for pinboard.in. Some features that make it well worth the full cost: - Cached snapshots - search bookmarks by actual boolean operations on tags , which is something hardly anyone does for reasons I've never understood. - Fast, simple website. Everything that was good about 1999. - Browser integrations for every browser worth mentioning - OS integration for quick search outside of a browser - mobile apps…
> - Browser integrations for every browser worth mentioning
I'm missing the ability to sync with a browser's built-in bookmarks.

Same. My bookmarks are a form of write-only memory.

#26Evernote for things that I may need to come back to later in the future or remember (documentation, guides, workarounds, lists, etc), Pocket for articles that I'd like to read sometime but that I never actually read.

#27Kozmos: https://getkozmos.com
It simplifies adding and organizing bookmarks into a heart button, also uses modern & open source libraries (https://github.com/kozmos/likedb) so you can build your own clients & servers.
ps. I built Kozmos as one of the first users of both delicious and pinboard, feedback is welcome.

#28Used to just use a plain text file, but that's become untenable.
Going to really start using pinboard.in
Have been bookmarking in Firefox, which is great for syncing between devices. But I got so many even that's seeming slow and hard to search through (but to be fair maybe I'll have the same problems with pinboard once I get to that many.)

that's probably true, but I can't say for sure: I purged all of my local browser bookmarks years ago.
Pinboard is ground truth for me for specific links.
Feedly has become my repository of bookmarks-of-sites-i-like-to-read-in-general.

#30https://pinboard.in
Been a Pinboard user for several years. Simple and flexible. You can use tags to organize everything or fill in the bookmarks description field and use search. Have over 4,000 URLs saved with no issues. Easy to backup with a one line script.
