The biggest problem with bookmarks isn't the bookmarking; it's the rediscoverability. Tags and folders aren't even close to solve the problem of surfacing bookmarked links when they're needed. And the only way to fix this, is to have them integrated into search. "You're looking for how to do X? Here's what I found on the internet. Also, you bookmarked these links about this topic, so check them out." That, or a RAG b…

I had the same problem back in the day, so I created https://historio.us, which is a search engine over the content of the pages. That way, you don't need to tag things, you have your own personal search engine.

My solution is quite simple: https://news.ycombinator.com/item ? Id=38421121 However, with the disadvantage that I do not use the search in the browser, but the search of the operating system.

wow is the return of Delicious? One of my favourite sites back in the day. Hope for this site's success, great way to discover new things

I never bothered to figure out what happened. It was del.icio.us where everything was lean and clean and worked well and at some point it moved to delicious.com and went to shit. At least that's how I remember things. ;)

Acquisition by Yahoo! happened to it.

What I want is a field where I can write a few sentences on why I thought it was important to bookmark, and include that when I search my bookmarks.

Search totally didn’t kill bookmarks. Even good search didn’t kill bookmarks - and now we’ve got shit search with endless SEO rubbish clogging up results.

I use raindrop.io - it’s amazing, does archiving of original page to cater for link rot, tagging, notes, categorisation, full text search (of original page) and more
