I never found a solution to what I actually want/need:
- Snippet bookmarking. I don't want to browse to the whole page again, just highlight and save the piece of it I need to bookmark.
- Annotations. I want to highlight, underline, bold, and comment on what I've bookmarked so that I know why I bookmarked it or what I intended to remember later.
- In an open standard, like JSON, so that I can do things with the bookmarks other than view them in your proprietary website.
Seems like a fairly simple ask, but all the software that promises to do it fell short of my expectations.
- douge1 4y agoYep, that makes a ton of sense too, especially annotations + JSON.
- jskulski 4y agoNot a consumer grade solution, but Org mode handles this with some setup and browser extensions
- LunarAurora 4y agoMemex [1] is good at Annotation-bookmarking. Research Notes [2] is a less slick option Both are local and offer export.

- IIsi50MHz 4y agoI've used Memex before, and it was good, but after a while had ingested so much data that it was ba far the highest consumer of RAM on my work computer. I started toggling it off to get some performance back, but then I'd forget to turn back on when it mattered, and only discover later when something I searched for wasn't indexed. D'oh!
- crazygringo 4y agoEvernote or Zotero? I haven't really kept up with the space, but Zotero is open source and while it's meant for academic references, you can use it for everything if you want.
