I've tried dozens of services through the years and have always come away disappointed. I literally just want to store a URL and the page title — just text will do. I don't want an overwhelming visual list of my bookmarks. I don&#

Thank you for taking the time to give a detailed response here. I’ve always found it astonishing that the side-effects of ‘progress’ like diminishing nutrient content and environmental impact are so willingly ignored. Feeding more people is

This totally nails it. My wife and I very carefully control our kids' (13 and 14) screen hours to make sure they're engaging with real people in the real world and not thoughtlessly pulling out a phone every two minutes. But even
