Ask HN: How do you organize your Bookmarks?
I use to use del.icio.us back in the day before they were shutdown, I guess they reopened. I moved over to Google bookmarks, but the interface is aweful.
I am curious what other free solutions are out there to organize bookmarks in the cloud.
What are you using?

- mezod 10y agoI also used del.icio.us and after doing a couple of custom solutions I ended with simple browser's folders... you might want to look into pinboard though
- 5bolts 10y agoi use opera's system to sync as it lets me browse all of my machine's individual bookmark folders. Keeps things clean at work, but everything quick to access. if i had to switch (and could install the plugin on the work pc) i'd use xmarks
- tucaz 10y agoI have a Pinboard account that I keep adding things to and NEVER go back to see 1) what's there or 2) search for anything. I always end up googling whatever I need. I keep adding things there "for the day that I will sit down, organize everything and read what's pending", but for some reason this day never comes and nowadays I believe it will never will. Not managing my bookmarks correctly and leaving stuff unread use to bother me a lot. It stopped the moment I realized it was okay and that I wouldn't miss anything important.
- mattbgates 10y agoHonestly, it is just an awful mess. I use Google Chrome to add to my bookmarks. I have folders clearly named. Things like "Useful Tools", "My Company", "My Web Host", "Random", "Funny", "Relationships", "Philosophy", "Internet", etc. But I really hardly ever return back to it. The only folder that seems truly worthy is "Useful Tools". Definitely wish there was a better way... and I'm usually good at coming up with ideas to make life easier, but bookmarks remain as organized as my house. Lets not even go there.

- usametov 10y agoI used to use del.icio.us too, but after their first (?) shutdown I created a few open source projects for my bookmarking needs. Please, take a look: https://github.com/usametov/gitmarks https://github.com/usametov/gitmarks -- github-search-friendly format you can export your bookmarks to. https://github.com/usametov/Bookmarks-ETL https://github.com/usametov/Bookmarks-ETL -- import/export bookmarks from variety of social bookmarking web sites like del.icio.us, bibsonomy, pinterest. You can export bookmarks to gitmarks as well merge them. I want to add elastic search support in the near future. https://github.com/usametov/TagSortService https://github.com/usametov/TagSortService -- this is actually bookmark organizer. You can group tags in tag bundles, I personally see a lot reasons for doing that. All these projects are very young. I am planning to document them properly, dockerize some of them. Please, bear with me. There is also machine-learning/text-mining work in the pipeline.
