Hi HN,<p>I like to read about technology and different CS topics, so HN is a really useful resource. One of the problems I'ev found recently is that the amount of bookmarks I have is growing really fast. How do you manage them? I red a couple of "Ask HN" post about it, but I would like to know if now you use some kind of manager, what's your organization (folders? by topic or relevance?), etc....<p>To reduce this to a couple of questions:<p>- What's your criteria to bookmark a page?<p>- Do you use some kind of tool/extensions/anything to manage your bookmarks?<p>- How do you sync your bookmarks between devices/navigators?<p>Thanks HN!
1. Everything that I potentially want to read later, be it on the train or waiting for the bus<p>2. Pocket [0], it comes with an extension too<p>3. Pocket<p>- [0] <a href="https://getpocket.com" rel="nofollow">https://getpocket.com</a>
On my bookmarks toolbar I have a bookmark folder named 'y', under which there are a lot of dated folders, the latest of which is '17C'. Anything I bookmark in the next three months goes there, and in October I make '17D'.<p>If I use a bookmark often enough, it gets moved or copied out of the original folder, and put in a more relevant category folder. These are located under 'ref' or 'util' on the bookmarks toolbar.
I make folders with topics and some folders inside them, for example: Design > Tools, Programming > Reads, etc. I name them as short as possible, and no more than one folder inside. Also, I use Pocket. But Pocket doesn't work for me when it comes for saving bookmarks, because when I save too much, it's painful to see that I have too much to read.
I use to use delicious, when they were getting shutdown, I switched to google bookmarks. Its all there, but hard to get at. I occasionally download the entire xml and save it.<p>I had some ideas about making something to help me, but its more of a vitamin and not a painkiller.
