for bookmarking articles, you have https://getpocket.com/ https://getpocket.com/ and https://www.instapaper.com/ https://www.instapaper.com/ "Social bookmarking" started with deli.co.us and has largely been subsumed by reddit. Beyond some level of complexity, Evernote, Obsidian, Notion, etc become bookmarking tools ...but the ultimate place to find the bookmark managers are in the Chrome and Firefox extension stores: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/category/bookmarks/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/category... https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/bookmark?_category=extensions https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/bookmark?_category... There doesn't seem to be any money at all in this space, and any really groundbreaking innovation will be folded in by the browser vendors, so I don't expect there to be much more thwn what's already here.

Cool sites, related, yes, agreed about "social bookmarking", but feels like, why do we create all of these "awesome list" for GitHub then, like that's a way to share a curated list of links, kinda like deli.co.us.

  audience GitHub is the logical place for an “awesome react” list even if it’s not necessarily intended for that.

I think there's a fertile middle ground in the triangle between wikipedia, reddit and pinboard.

  why wikipedia? I can see reddit + pinboard.

    Bookmark as reference page / community cork board. Invert the "feed" structure. Instead of going to r/whatever, see new comments on all of your saved bookmarks. Can also piggyback off / strangler fig existing website structure. Ex. bookmarks to titles on goodreads. Add in a similarity graph (people also bookmarked x), and a democratic way to merge bookmarks that point to the same object. And if you want to get really nutso, add a resource management system where ppl pay for attention - mint bookmarks as NFTs, commenting has a cost, invest in a bookmark to boost global visibility and get a % of commenting cost

      Why just invert, when you can offer multiple view simultaneously ? : 1- We keep the r/whatever (subject matter) stream like view 2- We can always have that enhanced "saved bookmarks" view you talked about. They are not mutually exclusive. 3- To expand on your "reference page" (Wikipedia-like) idea, the bookmarks should be more malleable: We ought to be able to collaborate on reorganizing them under different tag-systems/hierarchies (while they keep their original comments and score) So it is 3 complementary views: stream view (current Reddit/HN link-posts), personal view (current bookmark managers), and reference view (a more structured “awesome lists”) Most sites do have at least two (mostly 1+2), but one at least is always rudimentary (like the HN favourites). I myself tried to combine 2+3 (for a private team) using the coda raindrop pack https://coda.io/packs/raindrop-io-11475 https://coda.io/packs/raindrop-io-11475

        Yeah, good points. #3, "tag cloud" idea is great, and lends itself to view by tag. I'm coming at it from the direction, where I see the primary action as "collecting" / "cultivating". Ex. 1. See an article you like 2. add it to bookmarks/instantiate the global bookmark 3. curate it a bit - add an archive link, some tags, link to related article and then the reward is 4. get notified when someone else bookmarks it + comments, a week or a month later so the inversion is - on HN/reddit, something gets posted once and there's a big discussion and it disappears. this is the opposite where the page grows over time How did your project turn out?
