I want to be able to manage and sort them. I use firefox, so both tags and folders are okay. manually exporting groups of them to like documents related to the topic I was researching (and then removing the bookmark) would also be okay. Self-hosted solutions are also welcome.

Very successful post, thank you everyone for sharing your bookmark-related tools.

I’ve started to use Raindrop, seems to work well and you can tag each bookmark and later search by tag.

I’m gonna try raindrop, it seems focused on this first organization step and will help me get this all organized and put out the fire.

The free version is really full featured. Premium has some really cool features as well but free is not limited in any way.

Honset question: How many of these bookmarks do you use regularly? Can you trim them down to a much more manageable number of bookmarks?

I periodically go through my bookmarks and purge ones I haven’t accessed in a while because they’re not actually serving any purpose.

Yes certainly, and I think I’m gonna need a better UI than what firefox offers in order to do it. I’m real quick and messy about saving, so a lot is gonna get deleted for sure.

If you’re typing GitHub to search for the bookmark, you might was well type GitHub in the address bar to search.

The developer recently added support for SearXNG and some other alternatives to Google that lets you see related bookmarks when doing a search.

Can you elaborate and / or link to docs about this please ?

I can’t seem to find anything relevant and I use both linkding and searxng.

Ah sorry it wasn’t the actual linkding project but the browser plugin.

I’m quite happy with Linkding. Migrated from Pinboard to it about 2 years ago. I have over 18k bookmarks in it and it doesn’t break a sweat. Can recommend!

I don’t even sort them in folders anymore, just make sure I add tags to them when saving, then use search

Could you sign in with Firefox and manage across multiple devices?

Yes. What I mean to say is they are unorganized, I need to like go through them and put them in better folders or tags.
