I've been using the share button in the browser, then choosing save to inbox. That is of course if you are using google inbox.

I would typically use pocket for this, but then half of the gists I need to remember are in one place, and half (the ones I've starred on desktop) are in another, so it's not a good solution. The alternative is to completely use pocket, and not use github stars, but in any case, since I like github as a service, the comment was more of a hint to any random githubber who may read browse hn and want to do an easy modification.
