Ask HN: How do you save your bookmarks?

What bookmarks manager do you use to save your bookmarks and supports fulltext search

I pay $3/month for Raindrop.io [0]. The paid version has full text search.

I don't usually pay for utilities, but this has been nice since I bought it a month ago.

Plus one for raindrop. Main reason i decided to pay for it is the caching of the bookmarks. Quite a lot of my bookmarks are no longer available after some time.

Not bad it looks more like memex to me but they offer $28 dollar yearly plan

Looks good to me but does it offers full text search

If you're a subscriber they do full-text search and archiving.

oh okay just looked at what they offers and 22/year doesn't sound bad hows your experience have been so far

Fantastic. Very useful and I have a lot of trust in the company sticking around.

Mainly for the function to send to my kindle for less eye strain.

(Shameless Plug): I am developing a sharable bookmarking app that allows sharing of bookmarks:

Pretty cool man!!

I have written my own tool, StaticMarks[0]. I maintain my bookmarks in plain YAML files and generate a static web app on every change.

Assuming by your non-specific 'bookmarks', you mean Browser Bookmarks:

Periodically, (meaning 'when I remember') I save my current browser bookmarks as a .html file in a specific 'bookmarks' folder in my 'Documents' directory. These files get named 'bookmarks_YYMMDD', thus they are automatically sorted by date.

Being .html files, they are automatically also plain text files, and can be searched easily using standard tools like 'grep'.

I save them in my browser, I really don't get the need for 3rd party apps, text search, paid services or huge systems that contain 1000s of bookmarks.

What are you guys saving that's so important to you?

https://getdrup.com/ Drup, bookmarks optimized for work and team collaboration. Can be used for anything. Free.

Do you use this to save your bookmarks

xbrowsersync is my best find in the past year. Opensource, decentralized public syncing servers or you can build your own. It does not save passwords (that's good or bad depending on your perspective :). It is not available in IOS due to developer fees.

WordPress and PressIt plug-in.

Searchable, accessible from anywhere, and I own it, no worries about service shutting down.

Can we have a Chrome bookmark button using this method or only manually add urls in wordpress?

Yeah that's the main reason for Press It plugin. You can create a bookmarklet that should work in the most browsers. I use it in Chrome, it also grabs page title and some content from the page and prefills it.

Also I use this instance of WordPress like a scrapbook and dump all kind of information in there. While reading books on phone or iPad, I can add quotes from them. Android app is pretty good for this. Also I take photo notes for example while shopping for something in a physical store, I can add pictures of them to a post etc and then review later. Once a month or so, I download backup.
