Ask HN: How do you manage bookmarks?

Posted by udp on Wednesday March 29, 2017 @05:52AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I've a habit of hitting {Ctrl|Cmd}-D every time I see something interesting, with the intention of reading it later. Consequently, I've accumulated hundreds of bookmarks over the years across different browsers on different machines.

I imagine this must be a common problem, and a quick search reveals a plethora of tools out there for managing libraries of links. Does anyone have recommendations? Ideally it'd be either cross-platform software or SaaS without locking my collection into something proprietary.

Self plug but relevant. This is why I made curabase.com

It is a SaaS with a chrome plugin.

Also it is mvp with lots of rough edges, but it more than solves my use case. I spend time to improve it when I can, with an eye to monetize in the future.

You are welcome to try and send feedback. I do read and respond to it, and I even take feature requests like bookmark exports (under development).

I find pocket super convenient. It formats almost all web articles into phone friendly format to read on the go. https://getpocket.com/
