A while back someone on here posted a reply to a similar question for me - and it was one of those 'road to Damascus' moments for me. The poster pointed out that we should not have to bookmark - that why do our own browsers not simply record every site we visits (and even cache the text for alter searching). Its technically trivial. But we all have this blind spot - that it is perfectly reasonable for massive corpora…
At 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. There wi…
For years [1] I’ve been looking for a browser extension that will let me flip a switch and search only within the sites in my history and/or bookmarks.
You know you’ve visited some sites with the answer you want, but have to try to recreate the divine moment in google.

I have this problem too. In fact, I built a tool to better serve my own needs [0]. It helps to categorize links based on keywords. Best for article links but also works for generic links, as long as a title and description is present. [0] Stackkup.com
I threw everything in a checkvist ( https://checkvist.com ) list and generously annotated every bookmark with tags, now I have bookmarks and attached notes and it's searchable with tags, it works really good ! I think this offers the exact same thing as the popular pinboard but it's free !
I built devmark.io a couple of years ago but it never took off - never went beyond a Chrome extension. It is a bookmarking tool designed so it didn't feel like you were collecting urls - you'd save them and rely on the search function (which isn't that advanced unfortunately - postgres full text search). I still use it myself but hosting costs about 300euro every year so it's a questionable investment from my own poi…
That sounds high for a few text searches a day. Do you have a large number of sites saved?

Exactly what I was searching for! Do you plan to create a business out of this or is there a chance for open sourcing/self hosting?
thats a good idea to open source it, after cleaning up the code. I plan to keep it running for the foreseeable future since i use it. I have added self-service ads for now.
Well...I'm working on my own thing (FOSS) https://github.com/calpaterson/quarchive It's quite early but I'm able to use it as a near replacement for pinboard (including search but not including tags). I have circa 6k bookmarks so I feel your pain. It's based on sync of your browser bookmarks via an extension. This works well because it allows you to bookmark on your phone. Here are some features I have planned: 1. Sh…
why "not including tags" i derive _so_ much value from having well tagged items in Pinboard.

Be advised: your username-based subdomain is not browsable in modern security-conscious browsers as your LE cert for the main domain is not a wildcard cert and isn't valid for the username.historio.us subdomains.
It is a wildcard cert, it just expired because for some reason acme.sh stopped liking the CloudFlare API. I'm trying to fix it as we speak, but the rate-limiting isn't helping. EDIT: It's back up, now I have to figure out why acme can't automatically renew... Very odd.
