I used to try bookmarking things using the built in browser bookmark manager and then later using Raindrop and even copying links into Obsidian but this wasn’t really all that effective. After watching the video I trialled DevonThink and was massively impressed. Now, every article I read that I find interesting I save as either a pdf or web archive so I can search and find it later. I also do the same for useful stack overflow posts so I know I’ll be able to find them if necessary. On top of this I bookmark all kinds of useful sites and categorise them in folders in their respective databases.
This allows me to keep Obsidian for just pure notes/writing. If I want to link between the two I can also use Hook to embed links between the two applications.
If I want to get proper reference formatting for something, I can open it from DevonThink in the browser and then save it to Zotero. Alternatively some people save everything to zotero instead of DevonThink and then index the folder using DevonThink so it is included in their search. Either approach works.
Highly recommend anyone with a Mac trying out the free trial of DevonThink, I think it’s like 100 hours of usage. Would dislike going back to living without it.

- rcarr 4y agoThere is the server version which runs in the browser so in theory you could use that for any device and have your databases on something like Dropbox but I don’t know for certain, you’d have to double check with Devon Technologies.
