Great writeup. I too have a long reading list - currently at 133. I use my own little side project (Savory) to track the list. When I come across a page that I don't have the time or energy to finish right now, I save it and add the "reading" tag to it. When I have free time, I can open the reading tag and pick up something new to read. The best part is that I usually add a couple more tags (e.g. "security" or "economics" etc.) when I save a link. This way, the reading list allows me to filter by topic. It has been an unexpected hack to attack the growing list, since I am usually able to finish multiple articles in a single run, all in the same topic, because there is usually a link between them even when I might have saved them days or weeks apart. Anyway I like how OP actually has a reading history. I really need to add something similar in Savory. Right now, when I finish reading something, I just remove the "reading" tag and I don't get a neat history.

Have you considered adding ActivityPub comments? I would love to see every social bookmarking service and RSS reader to have an interoperate-able comment section. Why should I manage my bookmarks outside of the browser if not for the benefit of receiving additional information about the articles?

  So if I book the same url, and you do as well, then have both conglomerates comments (anon) and private notes as well? That sounds good.

    The problem is, it would be demolished by spammers, without some sort of moderation.

Anyone here recall “delicious” (wasn’t that what it was called, basically the first bookmarking app… This sounds like that. I want a cross between delicious and workflowy

  Yes, del.icio.us, and something similar still exists at pinboard.in, but sadly without the full social sharing features which where available at del.icio.us

  Another similar site that I used back in the day was StumbleUpon. “Just one more click.” Addictive stuff xD Anyone who remembers StumbleUpon will likely relate to (and probably also remember) this image https://beta-techcrunch-com.cdn.ampproject.org/ii/w820/s/beta.techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ms_stumbleye.png https://beta-techcrunch-com.cdn.ampproject.org/ii/w820/s/bet... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StumbleUpon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StumbleUpon

    I miss StumbleUpon so much, there was sooo much good stuff there. O wonder why more recent recommendation stuff isn't as good.

    Never since have I found such unique and interesting web apps/essays/videos. Was very cool how it took you to the actual site, but somehow felt a lot more curated than the link aggregators of the time. Every single click was so fun! One of my favorites was a sort of proto- /r/place, where you could place pixels as many times as you wanted on an infinite canvas. Sometimes you could return days or weeks later and still find your art.

I do the same thing but in one big text file. I store all my general notes there. If it's an article I want to come back to, I write "article", if it's a video, then "video", etc. I also write any other keywords and/or information that I might find useful when coming back to it. Then it's a text search away. Here's something I saved the other day: 22-09-05 article Tactical Decision Game (TDG) - https://www.shadowboxtraining.com/news/2022/04/29/film-at-eleven/ - title: Film at Eleven - scenario of the month - make decisions - make notes about your thinking - compare with experts It's mumbly, low effort and holds all the information I need to both find it and then to see why I was initially interested.
