FWIW, this sort of thing (Delicious-like) always struck me as a good use case for decentralization.

How would the popular page work, then (either globally or per tag)? That was one of the biggest things I got out of Delicious… basically Reddit without the comments.

Search from a webring of Delicious sites.

I’m using Telegram for this. Create a channel, sends your bookmarked links there, use the hashtags to tag things. You can share the channel with others and you can write bots for integration with other apps/browsers.

Try this one: https://t.me/aquilanet_bot BotMark: A Telegram bot for quick bookmarking & powerful search (works in groups as well) For Individuals: When you find an interesting website/article on your mobile phone, press the share button and select "botmark"—nothing more, nothing less. For Groups: Add "botmark" to a group and keep track of all the links in your group in one place—easy peasy.

This is good! I use Raindrop and IFTTT, and it works like magic. I can also use Telegram in Vivaldi Web Panel and use custom shortcuts keys (browser recipes) that automatically open up web panel after I select address to be shared. The process is intuitive and efficient.

Pinboard is nice, I got a year subscription on a whim and don't use it. It is too much friction to use, not sure why. Even after installing a browser extension, it is just easier to drag the link in the bookmarks bar than to pin it on pinboard.

It is faster to use the bookmarklet

Definitely this!

This could be an interesting use case for IPFS and maybe blockchain. I don't know how many bookmarks I have lost in dying services.

we owned delicio.us and other domains to let us put the dots in other places, as well as delicious.com. but i am glad you found the opportunity to do the nerdiest seinfeld impression.

>but i am glad you found the opportunity to do the nerdiest seinfeld impression. I've no idea who seinfeld is. But I'm sure that was a very witty riposte.

he’s a comedian whose style is to make long complaints about trivial, unimportant things.

Why blockchain? Why not an open export standard that you backup regularly either manually or via an API to a third-party cloud storage provider? Why does it need to live in the cloud? Why not your own server or local device? There isn't one valid usage scenario for blockchain that actually makes sense versus existing solutions.

This is just sort of how the internet is going right now. Global, free services like that are starting to make less money. Facebook is circling the drain, Twitter is in hot water. Going decentralized is sort of getting more popular. Companies are focused more on profitability than growth right now, so there's little incentive to grow these platforms and more incentive to ruin them in the hopes of making money. I find…

Do you really believe Facebook is circling the drain? Still quite literally 1.97bn daily active users, and they made $28.82bn per the most recent quarterly report.

I dislike Facebook as much as the next person, but this is just straight up disinformation.

pinboard is the spiritual successor. However, in general, bookmarking as a thing seems to have gone away from what it was back then when saving and sometimes sharing your bookmarks was an actual social sort of things/information pathway.

I’m working on an open-source social bookmarking site in Elixir that is API compatible with delicious/pinboard. Its named linkhut and it’s currently able to import your bookmarks from pinboard and browser exports. The flagship instance is: https://ln.ht The source code is hosted here: https://sr.ht/~mlb/linkhut/ The documentation: https://docs.linkhut.org/introduction.html The one thing that I’m working on before rel…

This would be cool as a federated social media app. As in, I'd like to run my own server for this with my own users, but I'd also like to share and interact with others' servers and users, as well.
