For me collecting bookmarks is part of a larger activity that involves any information I want to gather for use later on. Bookmarks is usually about assembling a reading list or collecting resources on a topic. I used to think the larger activity was note-taking, but I'm realizing that's not really it either. The activity is something very general like "collecting information". Collecting, notes, bookmarks, quotes, t…

I clicked the link because I want something like what you mentioned. But your landing page showed a programming language and you lost me.

And I'm a developer.

You're not selling a syntax. You're selling a solution. The homepage should be selling me on what you're solving, not the syntax to do it.

I'd be down with this if it used the OS sync (iCloud / Google Drive etc) and wasn't a subscription. As it stands, it looks like it charges monthly just to use a sync that I can't trust.

I am using Raindrop and it syncs seamlessly between all my devices despite not ever paying for it.

Free tier?

Looks nice. Bookmarked it with Pinboard.

Is pinboard still a thing? I've an account but haven't used it for ages. Maciej seems to have left twitter, http://blog.pinboard.in resolves to a placeholder page. Thought it was abandoned at this point.

Still a thing. There's an excellent iOS app for Pinboard made a third party developer, called Pins. It was just updated in 2022.

I don't see a placeholder page at https://blog.pinboard.in/ I see the most recent blog post. It happens to be a couple years old, but Pinboard is good enough as it is. I didn't subscribe for monthly product blog posts.

Thanks for the recommendation; just purchased Pins. I was using Pinner, but was not happy with it.

I largely stopped bookmarking stuff altogether, and now simply save a website as a PDF file in a folder structure that is ordered by broad subjects.

Works fine for over a decade now.

Bonus: on MacOS you can search through stored pdf files very easily.

I wasn’t expecting the app to be that good! Great recommendation
