Ask HN: How do you take notes on things you read online?

Hello guys, I was wondering how people take notes from webpages ? For example if you read an article on Medium, how do you save snippets you like or your personal notes?

I take a snip using Joplin and sync it with my home server to read later.

Hi ClintGA! I've never heard of Joplin. Will check it out!

I send links to my brother &/or sister, if I think it will interest them. I often add a short summary. They often make some comment.

Do you send it to them via email, facebook or something like that?

I just save them to memory, by adding them as flashcards to ANKI. :)

It's the software that changed me from an idiot to an average person.

I've never heard of Anki before. Was it easy for you to set it up?
