I respectfully disagree. If we were speaking about millions or billions of data points, yes, performance would be important, and we would look for the "Right Way" to do it, either with a DB or with files+symlinks, as you describe.
But here simplicity and portability is key. "Title of the page #tag1 #tag2.url" does the job: easily searchable with the OS search. Why complicate this with symlinks and folders for tags for just a few 10k bookmarks?
- eduction 2y agoMaybe I was a little harsh there. I’d prefer the folder approach. Instead of running a search you’d just open the folders. Not hard either, on macOS you can option drag to make an alias.
