Pinboard. With Archive mode, Pinboard's full-text search spans the contents of PDFs, which is a godsend feature that saves me an hour or two a week (I bookmark a lot of research). I probably use Pinboard search more than Spotlight on my laptop.

#72At what point do bookmarks essentially become an internet of your own making? I guess you need to create a search engine so you can search your bookmark collection, or maybe a Yahoo style directory to browse them. Or... Stop collecting the internet and give your brain a break from data overload. There is a certain flavour of FOMO that keeps tabs open forever and bookmark lists getting huge. Let go of it all.

Except with google it’s becoming impossible to find links from several years ago. Unless I remember exactly the right keywords and maybe the website name...
How is this FOMO? The entire point of bookmarks is “maybe I’ll come back later to this”. Bookmarks let you save content that you come across that may not be relevant at this time, but could be useful later. There is no penalty for saving pages because space is virtually unlimited, and we can only collect so many bookmarks anyway. Searching through bookmarks isn’t a difficult task, and it’s way better than relying on google.

#74apart from a handful of internal urls I regularly need at work, which I have as actual web browser bookmarks, I stopped using bookmarks to remember "sites of interest"
instead I've been using Microsoft OneNote
I can group the bookmarks in a few different ways (Notebooks > Sections > Pages > block within page) but more importantly I can write some notes about the link and why it is interesting and how it relates to other links in the same topic I've saved
the things I like about OneNote are: it's free, works ok, and syncs between macOS desktop app and Android app

#75If you're willing to tag things so you can find them later, then https://pinboard.in If you're not then don't store them, just google them when you need them. That will either help you find the link you wanted, or it will find you something better, because the world has moved on since then.
Wholeheartedly agree with this. I've been very happy with pinboard, the one area that could use improvement is on the mobile side: it's a bit annoying to set a new bookmark in a mobile browser.
On Android I use Pindroid.

#76All my bookmarks live in my wiki. https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/ Searched and parsed with Alfred workflow. https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/alfred-my-mind The bookmarks are links under ## Links heading of any markdown file. Here are few with some links https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/programming-languages/go https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/programming-languages/go/go-... https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/machine-lea…
This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

#77I made and use https://historio.us. It gives me full text search on my bookmarks, so I can find stuff right away easily. I need to update it, but it works well.

#80I use vim and plain text files to keep track of interesting bookmarks in markdown format and also write a summary or important points. That way, if I need to search for something, all I need is a grep (or ripgrep). If the page is worth saving for future, I use Evernote's web clipper to save it so I can re-read or review it in the future. (I'm on Evernote free plan as I rarely go over the limit)
I used to be a heavy Delicious user before it went away.
