Just to throw my hat in the ring I also worked on a social bookmarking site called HunterGather, with an emphasis on visual bookmarking and collections. https://huntergather.website/ In.ht looks great though!

looks great, have you thought about infinite scroll? instead of manually clicking "load more"? cheers!

I think I would enjoy something like this (or pinboard), but with comments. Sort of a smaller version of Hackernews, where I could see what my friends are bookmarking and then write comments on those links, so we could chat about the content not necessarily with random people of the internet but with your smaller community (or maybe with everyone too, but in a different section). Maybe someone here knows if anything…

I believe that's called reddit.

Smells so bad though! I avoid it like I avoid Quora.

Interesting example. Reddit definitely started that way, but over time people went to it for discussion first. So the links actually end up getting ignored if the title of the Reddit post is enough for people to start posting comments right away.

Search can't keep a to-read list for me. Search can't keep track of what I have read when I want to share something. Search doesn't let me tag or write notes for links. My bookmarks aren't overfull with SEO spam.

My to-read list is contained within the hundreds of tabs in my browser.

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…

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.

I used to store links in a Google Sheet for this reason. It's not ideal though as it ads friction to the process of adding a link.

I think a better system wouod be one where the bookmark stores either the "link source", i.e. backlink to the site you found the bookmarked link on, or the "search term", I.e. what you were specifically looking for when you bookmarked the page.

Delicious[1] was delicous, and Pinboard[2] is just there. Not into bookmarks that much except for less than 10 significant websites. I might look at ArchiveBox[3] or something like it to bookmark and take a snapshot. Again, none of them as important as it used to be. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delicious_(website) 2. https://pinboard.in 3. https://archivebox.io

I see your pinboard and I raise one Shaarli
