For what it's worth, I gave up on all external bookmark tools and went back to using Firefox's built-in bookmark manager. I enjoy that it's a CTRL+B away to see all my bookmarks, and that I'm able to sync it with my Firefox account.

With a s* for brains search. It fails to search anything, even it's own folders! or parts of the url. or the tags that gets added and removed from the UI every now and then and are ignored in search. heck there's a 18yr old bug about performance being so bad in this search that if you have over 1k bookmarks it will just hang for several seconds. edit: that said, i also use firefox bookmarks exclusively, but just for…

I know I compute like a caveman at times, so a few points that might sound downright archaic:

* If I have over 1k bookmarks, that probably means it's time to go in for spring cleaning and start deleting some

* Other comments have made it apparent that you can tag bookmarks, but I personally just prepend the names of bookmarks like "javascript js - How to reverse a singly linked list GeekForGeeks" to make it easier for me to search for it in the future.

In the end, I prefer the benefit of not having an extra site/tool like Instapaper/Pocket/Shiori to have to deal with.

While humans are still browsing (instead of agents), there is definitely a need to manage our collections better. I worked on something in 2007 for bookmarking, too. https://vimeo.com/60251128

Thanks for sharing! watching your video gave me some ideas about how my bookmarking workflow can be improved that i've never considered. I'm going to be doing some scripting this week.

What bookmark manager options will catalog the bookmarks I add via Chrome's native functionality?

None that i've seen, i built myself a script that read's firefox's sqlite bookmarks database and imports new items into linkding through the API. Surprises this is not a bigger request by people, especially when it comes to importing pre existing bookmarks

Have you given Nix a try? It's fully solved this problem for me, and it also has Dockerfile generation down great. Nothing else comes even close What's really nice is using direnv to cd into a directory and having a flake.nix file in it which changes the entire system to what I need to do in that folder. So I don't need any of my dev environment to be system-wide, everything is per project. That alone has cut my syst…

I haven't used Nix. It looks like it might be a good solution for CLIs and developer tools, but from what I know of it, it doesn't supplant Docker (or snaps or manual installation/configuration) for the kinds of things I use Docker for. Most of my personal Docker usage is for selfhosted web applications, like Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Gitea, Drone, Wekan, Wiki.js, etc. I also now use Docker for things that I'd historic…

Nix works together with docker: https://nix.dev/tutorials/nixos/building-and-running-docker-...

I used to use Pocket extensively until I realized it wasn't going anywhere with features. I have since moved to Omnivore [1] and I couldn't be happier. The devs are also ex-Pocket users and have worked hard to get feature parity and then some. There are mobile apps too for reading on the go (and work offline) which I use extensively when I am on flights. There is a graphql API and webhooks you can use for extending i…

I hate to be that guy but you sound like you know your bookmarking/readlater/knowledgebase apps: What made you choose logseq over obsidian? Did you try both, or switch over at a certain point? Is starting an Obsidian knowledgebase not a thing you would to suggest to people today if they are just starting?

Thanks for any input

Is there any bookmark manager that will auto reorganize your bookmarks by following a few logical rules?

Can you give an example?

Sure, All python related bookmarks go into a folder marked Python, or the system looks at your folder structure and then puts the correct bookmarks in the right folder by learning from some type of training.
