Problem: I scroll on lemmy, I talk to friends, I see some interesting page, project, funny meme or something else. (when I was on reddit i pressed SAVE, when I was on Instagram I pressed PIN (or something) and now I’m stuck with (uncategorised) information all over the place.

My current idea is: push everything to Telegram group where my bot listens, take the URL, maybe even extract some data and save it somewhere. 90% of my input will be over the phone but here and there also PC.

Any suggestions for self-hosted service to dump data in our (even better) to even skip whole bot part altogether?

UPDATE: Maybe I was a bit unclear. I want to “save” URLs and also somehow tag/categorize them. So I think plain bookmarks won’t cut it, also flow is important (on mobile), switching copy/paste is to much hassle.

If it’s all URLs, you can look here: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#bookmarks-and-link-sharing. I use linkding myself and save everything I want to look at later, avoiding the need to “save” or “pin” posts. Other solutions can also offer offline caching locally too.

For phone usage, I use this guide (Android): https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding/blob/master/docs/how-to.md#using-http-shortcuts-app-on-android. So I never have to really copy any URL as long as there is a share button somewhere.

The browser extension also works like a charm.

use… bookmarks? And if it’s a concern that the pages you want to bookmark might disappear, you can use something like wallabag: https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag

You can also add tags that are searchable

I’Ve installed it on my VPS (with Docker) some days ago and I’m loving it! It can save the content of the page, you can add tags, it has Firefox extension (maybe Chrome too, but please, please, please don’t use Chrome!) and an Android app too!!!

Yes Wallabag is awesome. I use a selfhosted instance and share articles from my phone or my desktop computer via extension. On my work Computer i just copy the URL and add it to wallabag because i don’t want to install the browser extension on my work computer.

I use Joplin Firefox extension. One click and i can save page as a text/HTML/image/link into my Joplin notebook. You can sync with your own server, with NextCloud, with Joplin paid cloud and with something else. Great FOSS app.

I have yet to find a way to do this on my phone, but on my pc I use the Joplin note taking app with the web clipper extension. Joplin is also available for smartphones, but I don’t think the webclipper is.

You can select part of a webpage, or even the whole page, and have it saved into Joplin. You can create notebooks for certain categories or add tags to make searching stuff more easy.

I sync it using nextcloud, but that’s a bit more work to set up.
