I think that author has a point - most of the time I also save pages just to have it saved, and never look at it. But, on the other side, if you need something again, you need it badly in my experience.
DevonThink solved this problem for me years ago. I just pull in all the documents/pdf/web pages/text, let it auto-categorize them && forget. The only difference is that it has quit powerful and fast search, so that I can find them again in seconds. Bookmarks never worked for me and I don't have time and dedication for Zettelkasten-like systems.
- 1123581321 5y agoHow did you get to where you could trust DEVONthink auto-categorization? It seems powerful, but I would be afraid of forgetting where I put something. And there's no auto-wikilinking based on classification, right?
- lycopodiopsida 5y agoI try to keep a simple tree (no more than 2 levels) in all DBs and for many things I just keep a kitchensink-style groups, like „General“. DT struggles with categorization if the amount of items in a group is small - the categorization is based on statistics and keywords. For bigger groups it makes a solid guess most of the time. I would als not be afraid of losing something: the search is very solid and there is also a custom search with filters and boolean logic if you need it. The only thing I need is to remember that I have it and the topic for keywords, then I can find it with search.
