I absolutely loved del.icio.us back in the day and I would love to use it again. No other method of bookmarking/collecting sites worked for me as well as del.ic

I absolutely loved del.icio.us back in the day and I would love to use it again. No other method of bookmarking/collecting sites worked for me as well as del.icio.us. And I have never found the right alternative.

pinboard was what I started paying for, after reading lots of HN praise. https://pinboard.in https://pinboard.in

  I'm another happy Pinboard customer. It's a fine no-nonsense replacement for Delicious.

I was only thinking of it last night when reading the Deja News discussion -- so many useful services that got acquired and ceased (Wunderlist, Skitch and many more)

  At least on Mac OS, Cleanshot[1] is a decent Skitch replacement if you were using it for marking up screenshots. 1. https://cleanshot.com/ https://cleanshot.com/

Diigo is arguably better (bookmarks, tags and highlights) and is going strong 10+ years later.

  The idea behind it is great and I was using diigo on and off, but I found it started breaking on more sites as the web became more js-heavy. Maybe they've figured out more workarounds by now, or maybe I was just unlucky to frequent sites which abused js (e.g. LessWrong "2.0").

  sadly, they spammed the absolute bejeezus out of delicious - if a user connected their account to the api, they automatically posted a ton of stuff automatically, which was against the TOS - i'll never forgive them.

I searched and searched for a replacement too. In the last year I found raindrop.io, and I'm really happy with it. (No affiliation)

  I can recommend raindrop.io, too. I tried pinboard but it wasn't very stable and full-text search didn't work for me on multiple sites (he was great about refunding me, though!). After that I researched all options I could find and raindop truly works just how I wanted on all my devices. The only time I had a minor issue with them was near the start and they fixed it in a few days.

  I recently started experimenting with Notion web clipper extension and it's been pretty good. The extension populates the page meta data and content to a Notion table. It works well on desktop and mobile and I've been quite happy having my bookmarks together with my other notes on Notion. Unfortunately, you can't add tags directly from the extension, so you have to open the page in Notion.
