I had a successful low-volume bookmark system in a single text file:
1. paste the URL in the file
2. add a free-form description to it by hand
The hand-typing part proved to be a fairly good "bullshit filter": typing a description is annoying, so I ended up storing only the most relevant links, for which I was willing to write a short description in my own words. Compare that to the save-and-forget systems where storing and tagging a link takes about a second.
If you like free-form systems, there's also good ol' One Big Text File, a strangely effective solution: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29661167 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29661167
