Also using Raindrop.io - it works great with Make integrations and the dev responds to issues. Good to sync between multiple browsers on multiple devices.
Came to mention Raindrop.io - great service.

#73I use the bookmark feature built into my web browser, which also syncs with my smartphone. For bookmarks I want to share publicly, I just drop them onto a hand-coded HTML page on my website: https://kerricklong.com/bookmarks/

#74I collect/sort of bookmark useful pages with Zotero.

#75Pinboard is still quite active. If you need proof just go to /recent which is a live firehose and interesting to see what people are bookmarking. I use Pinboard and regularly export my bookmarks incase their servers are hacked/wiped/corrupted.
As a paying customer, I would not recommend pinboard. Just look at some recent discussions on HN. It has been abandonware for years now.
Is it failing for you? Would you switch to some other alternative?

I switched from Pinboard to Raindrop after not getting a response to pinboard support emails. I hope Pinboard’s creator is okay.

Bookmarks are just a starting point for easy knowledge management, online research, and collaboration. There's so much more that you could do with it.

#78I have started doing something completely different than using bookmarks. I set up yacy[1] on a personal, internal server at my home, which I can access from all my devices, since they are always on my wireguard vpn. Yacy is actually a distributed search engine, but I run in 'Robinson mode' as a private peer, to keep it isolated, as I just want a personal search of only sites I have indexed. Anytime I come across som…
I'd love something similar to automatically crawl and index every site I visit. I'm forever losing stuff. I know I saw it but I can't remember where.

#80I have been looking into this lately as well. My problem is that even if I visit back those pages, I don't remember the context of why I bookmarked it.
I have been toying with a chrome extension that enables me to add "annotations" to these pages and it helps me find websites based on my note search. It's far from perfect but I realized that I remember my notes / thoughts more than the website url or name.
