  I was a huge Pinboard for years. Sadly it appears to be mostly abandoned the past several years now. Search doesn’t work. The browser extensions are broken.

    I'm using the Firefox extension right now. It works fine.

    The search reindexing can take a while to re-run but the product is actively maintained. The Chrome extension works as expected.

In Firefox: Cmd + D creates a bookmark. Cmb + B shows existing bookmarks that you can edit and organise. They sync through your Firefox account too. It's a great system.

I considered Raindrop.io [1] at some point, but I ended up with Firefox bookmarks. I have an account and the bookmarks are synced.

big ass markdown file

  me too! Vim plus markdown; pandoc to covert the markdown to HTML; plus a Google Chrome extension that overrides the "new tab" page to point at the markdown file (like this one: https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/common/extensions/docs/examples/api/override/blank_ntp/manifest.json?revision=225759 https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/comm...)

    That's essentially what I have created Static Marks [0] for. I maintain my bookmarks in YAML files and let my tool create a dynamic web app. I'm then mostly using a custom browser search engine to jump into my bookmarks, e.g. "sm hacker" will open my bookmarks app and set "hacker" as the active filter.

      That looks very slick. Nicely done!

I typically just throw random, interesting links into a folder. Then periodically I create a new folder named YYYY-MM-DD and move everything into that folder. All of these are moved into an Archive folder to get them out of the way.

I tried different bookmark solutions and didn't work for me. Currently, I use chrome bookmark. I use different keywords(tags) to bookmark a page. Working out good so far. For example, I am bookmarking a page related to javascript or react tutorial or an article. I will add few keywords to the beginning of bookmark title like #JavaScript #React #TypeScript #MongoDB etc. I may also add a year as a tag #2021

I have started using Collections in Edge. Better than Chrome Bookmarks in terms of UX

Things that get visited often: firefox bookmark toolbar. Things that get visited every so often: firefox bookmark toolbar folder with similar links. Things that might be interesting to lookup or are part of current/past research: single text file with descriptions, links, etc. Things that have to be checked/researched eventually: gitlab issue with link in title It's not perfect for sure, but works very well nonetheless.

Check out Odin (https://savewithodin.com/ https://savewithodin.com/), a YC company. Started by friends that I made at a hacker house in Mountain View. I think its only on mobile for now (playstore and iOS), but works across apps and websites.

https://www.charli.ai https://www.charli.ai --> add hashtags and notes to bookmarks and visualize them in a Pinterest-like board. Has a web app and chrome extension. https://www.teamsyncbookmarks.com https://www.teamsyncbookmarks.com --> create shared bookmark folders in your browser (chrome + firefox). Add your team to sync with their browser or can use it just for yourself when you need access to bookmarks across diff browsers.
