For content on webpages that I want to keep I use this bookmarklet (http://pdf.fivefilters.org/simple-print/url.php http://pdf.fivefilters.org/simple-print/url.php) to save the page as a nicely formatted PDF then I save the PDF to my cloud drive for permanent storage / reference. I used to use macOS file metadata to also include the download location of the PDF to be able to go back to the source site, but found little use for that bit of file system metadata.

  Just curious how do you use a subreddit to keep interesting bookmarks

    Create your own subreddit. Submit links to subreddit of the websites you want 'bookmark'. Done: an online bookmark list.

I use Pocket for Firefox. It's a great tool on laptop since bookmarking with tags is just a click away. Also, these bookmarks can also be accessed from their mobile app. If it's a piece of article that I absolutely treasure, I use clean-mark[0]. It converts the page into markdown seamlessly, which I then send it as a PDF to my Kindle or read it on laptop. [0]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/clean-mark https://www.npmjs.com/package/clean-mark

1. Delete if possible (there's no time to consume ALL the interesting content). Probably the most important point to tackle information overload. 2. Store in either "read" or "watch" Firefox bookmarks folder. 3. After consuming the content, if I think I might need the resource in the future, I store it in Static Marks [1], an open-source tool that I wrote.
