Ask HN: How do you keep track of all the content you encounter?

I spend a lot of my time looking at HN, reddit, and a lot of other aggregation sites to find new cool projects or ideas. I have hundreds of browser bookmarks, my pocket saves are unwieldy, and a ton of different github stars.

How do people keep track of everything they're encountering? Like sometimes I'll see something and it will remind me of a post or project I saw months ago, but it's almost up to chance if I'm able to find it again or link the two concepts together.

I don't do this, but you could use archivebox to save interesting things.

I don’t.

I throw it in Joplin or signal self chat or just something I can search. I then accept that I will most likely never look at that thing again. If I do need it, whatever i stored it in has search.

Same. I think it would be cool but really most of the stuff is not that useful.

Just like physical stuff I have - happened once or twice in my life when some small thing would be useful if I would keep it.

LRU - last recently used is sorting algorithm for my life.
