The best solution is to not make bookmarks. Every bookmark you create is a time commitment at a later date. The more you have, the less time you have available at any later point in time.

that's bad advice. bookmarking is very valuable in this day and age. websites and blogs you swear you have seen before won't appear in search result! searching is failing us but we can start to trust our bookmarks again.

If you're willing to tag things so you can find them later, then https://pinboard.in

If you're not then don't store them, just google them when you need them. That will either help you find the link you wanted, or it will find you something better, because the world has moved on since then.

I am building my own. I used to use Chrome bookmarks, but then started pushing everything to Pocket. Unfortunately Pocket's design doesn't handle a lot of things (like documents/videos etc) nor does it encourage reading much (it's easier to save than actually read).

So I am now building Liste[1] thinking of it as a more power-user focused tool.

Aim is to make Liste a powerful read/watch/listen-it-later + a personal knowledge base tool. In the long run I aim to replace goodreads/imdb et al with only source of truth in my life - all stored in Liste.

Beta launch is targeted in Q1 2020. Probably by mid-feb.

I keep the tab open until I read it... or just as likely, until I close it x months later. At least I won't have 5 year old bookmarks that I never looked at.

This way leads to madness. I have nearly 3000 tabs open. I'm trying to sort through them but it's a lot.

Same here. From Chrome bookmarks to Firefox bookmarks to Pocket and now building my own.
