I have been looking for a cross-browser solution that will allow me to bookmark, tag, highlight and group URLs, I have even been contemplating on writing my own solution. I will give this a spin, on paper it looks like what I need.

Oliver here, from the Memex team. Memex is not able to do cross-browser/device yet, but we are short before releasing our mobile apps for iOS and Android, as well as syncing between devices. Enjoy :)

  Hi, thanks for answering questions. Does the Firefox extension work on mobile Android? Thanks.

    The firefox extension is not officially supported, because it is still very spotty to use. Its missing APIs and was not worth the effort for now to support it with a limited feature set. Memex App will be a dedicated app that in its MVP works just like Pocket, except that you can also add notes, lists, favorites and lists when you save content. In the MVP+ you can also search your knowledge on the go and do annotations on the go.

I fondly remember del.icio.us which was an amazingly simple tag-based bookmarking tool. I believe it shut down shortly after being acquired by Yahoo and appears inop today. There may be a decent alternative out there but my system for bookmarking things in that way died with their service, sadly.

  Oliver here from the Memex team. glad you bring that up :) After we are finished with the current work on making Memex more stable and user friendly, we are working on shareable collections. With that you can share lists of websites, papers, notes and annotations with your peers, or co-curate those collections together.

      No that is an entirely different beast :) Both projects took the inspiration for the name from the same thing though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memex

    Fantastic, I gave Memex a try and I really like, well done! I am also very much looking forward to the upcoming features, I think that such a bookmarking system is largely needed.

  I self-host Shaarli[1] with the 2004licious theme[2], as an emulation of early del.icio.us. It works really well - no database (it saves a single .php file), minimal interface, and it has an Android app. It also has tag and note support. I only wish it supported plain notes; you have to have a URL for each entry.
