I was a huge Pinboard for years.

Sadly it appears to be mostly abandoned the past several years now. Search doesn’t work. The browser extensions are broken.

The search reindexing can take a while to re-run but the product is actively maintained.

The Chrome extension works as expected.

I'm using the Firefox extension right now. It works fine.

In Firefox:

Cmd + D creates a bookmark.

Cmb + B shows existing bookmarks that you can edit and organise.

They sync through your Firefox account too.

It's a great system.

Check out Odin (https://savewithodin.com/), a YC company. Started by friends that I made at a hacker house in Mountain View. I think its only on mobile for now (playstore and iOS), but works across apps and websites.

https://www.charli.ai --> add hashtags and notes to bookmarks and visualize them in a Pinterest-like board. Has a web app and chrome extension.

https://www.teamsyncbookmarks.com --> create shared bookmark folders in your browser (chrome + firefox). Add your team to sync with their browser or can use it just for yourself when you need access to bookmarks across diff browsers.

I considered Raindrop.io [1] at some point, but I ended up with Firefox bookmarks. I have an account and the bookmarks are synced. [2]

Mobile app is inferior to competitors, but Mozilla products are trustworthy. [3]

Things that get visited often: firefox bookmark toolbar.

Things that get visited every so often: firefox bookmark toolbar folder with similar links.

Things that might be interesting to lookup or are part of current/past research: single text file with descriptions, links, etc.

Things that have to be checked/researched eventually: gitlab issue with link in title

It's not perfect for sure, but works very well nonetheless.

LinkAce seems to be a nice Bookmark Manager to self host.

I tried different bookmark solutions and didn't work for me.

Currently, I use chrome bookmark. I use different keywords(tags) to bookmark a page. Working out good so far.

For example, I am bookmarking a page related to javascript or react tutorial or an article. I will add few keywords to the beginning of bookmark title like #JavaScript #React #TypeScript #MongoDB etc. I may also add a year as a tag #2021

I typically just throw random, interesting links into a folder. Then periodically I create a new folder named YYYY-MM-DD and move everything into that folder. All of these are moved into an Archive folder to get them out of the way.

I have started using Collections in Edge. Better than Chrome Bookmarks in terms of UX

big ass markdown file

me too! Vim plus markdown; pandoc to covert the markdown to HTML; plus a Google Chrome extension that overrides the "new tab" page to point at the markdown file (like this one: https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/comm...)

That's essentially what I have created Static Marks [0] for. I maintain my bookmarks in YAML files and let my tool create a dynamic web app. I'm then mostly using a custom browser search engine to jump into my bookmarks, e.g. "sm hacker" will open my bookmarks app and set "hacker" as the active filter.

That looks very slick. Nicely done!
