I did the same for a while, but it was a mess (700+ unsorted bookmarks on my main computer, 100s more on others). I tried shaarli, but soon after I tried to build something myself, and I created share-links. It's an open-source Django app that you can self-host, and that lets you store (and share!) links, titles, descriptions, and tags. Then it display them in a nice way (for me : not much css, a simple page with no js). It took some dozen hours to get to the point where it's really usable, and it still have problems now (comments are not moderated, I just realized that you can't add a description in links or tags, but I will fix this soonTM). Here's the link of the repo: https://gitlab.com/sodimel/share-links/ https://gitlab.com/sodimel/share-links/ One cool feature is to set your browser homepage to the url that loads a random page : each day I get a cool article to read/concept to discover! (here's my own instance random link url: https://links.l3m.in/en/random/ https://links.l3m.in/en/random/) That's my useless side project (because shaarli already exist and it's way more mature).

Nice! Doesn't solve the core problem though: we almost never go back to read these hundreds of bookmarked websites.

  The almost is the interesting part here, since it's not "never" anymore :P Another goal is to be able to retrieve links with ease. I haven't added all the tags on my links yet since I lack time (1800+ right now and counting!), but I should be able to retrieve this cool article about Python decorators, or the article from the cheapskatesguide.org that inform us that bluedwarf.top is launched :P I really hope that one day there will be multiple share-links instances that will allow people to find interesting links, and then when they thought that they have found all the cool content they discover that there's more websites containing hundreds of fresh or old links leading to even more interesting content!

  If websites were downloadable like a (versioned) document you could create your own offline bookmark web (archive), which would be neat. I guess scraping could help with getting the contents to disk, but it would probably be kinda broken. If you can then direct your search engine to discover content from this archive I would perhaps more often (re)stumble upon this neat discontinued blog that's stuck 5 levels deep in my folder structure.

    There's shiori [0] that's been linked below, and ArchiveBox [1] that seems to do exactly that. Share-links on the other hand can convert the page content into a pdf file using weasyprint [2].

      That's pretty cool. Will try!
