Who enjoys opening their bookmarks and seeing 500 links in an unordered list? Metadata has been a thing for how long now, and yet no browser that I know of has gone ahead and implemented a proper bookmark management workflow.

#14Why did browsers fail when it comes to bookmark management? I mean seriously, it is arguably one of the most important features for organising your digital life and the best that a browser vendor can do is “folders”? This has always baffled me.

The problem is when I suddenly remember something I saw a month ago that is now relevant and I can't find it anymore. That's why I preemptively bookmark interesting stuff
I was a big del.icio.us user back in the day, maybe self hosting something like the OP is the way to go.

Now there are bookmark tools which are archiving a page for example, have full text search. And you can add more and more features, it’s an endless game - that’s why we have that many bookmarking tools. Everybody has different priorities and needs different things.
