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.

This is the 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.
Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 2y
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.

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?
Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 2y
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.

I use Nextcloud bookmarks with Floccus. Floccus can be installed as an add-on in Firefox and as an app on Android. It retains the folder structures of bookmarks.
Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 2y
Floccus seems like its good for merging and then syncing bookmarks centrally, which I'm gonna need in the future when the organizing is done.

https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag this is more like a self-hosted pocket.

If it’s all articles and documents I’d suggest zotero
Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 2y
Wow this is an absolute powerhouse of a tool, beyond what I couod even imagine.
djquadratic@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y
Yeah I've used it for years and it's incredibly useful! I use the citation tool on it a lot and then I bought papership on my iPad to read the articles away from my computer

I save some links in org mode, if it's not something i frequently use then what is the point in keeping it in the browser?
What i like about org mode is that it keeps things in a plain text file, i also have emacs scripting that helps a little.

I just use Bitwarden.
In the desktop app, I created a new folder called 'Bookmarks', then for subfolders I click the '+' icon next to 'folders' then enter 'Bookmarks/Whatever' and hey presto, I have a new subfolder called 'Whatever' under the 'Bookmarks' folder. I then add tags in the 'notes' section of each individual entry for easy searching.
Benefits: free, open source, private, encrypted, syncs between devices automatically.

@Franzia for a minimal cli-interface: https://github.com/jarun/buku
Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 2y
Oh this is amazing. Very very cool.
xGinoPilotinox@mastodon.social · 1 pts · 2y
@Franzia Everything jarun has done there is worth a look
Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 2y
You're right, how cool!
xGinoPilotinox@mastodon.social · 1 pts · 2y
@Franzia Feel free to give feedback if you try this. After I have set up my operating system (again), I start (again) trying to get rid of things that are unnecessary and rather use tools like those of jarun. I am above all a draw between Raindrop.io and buku and how well it works to use them with neovim/Obsidian and a launcher like rofi or onagre.

Like this? https://github.com/ghodawalaaman/bookmarks
Don't forget to make the repo private!
Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 2y
Oh!!!! Yes yes yes. How simple, lol.
floppy@rabbitea.rs · 3 pts · 2y
Probably not what you're after, but there's a new Fediverse bookmarking tool called Postmarks
Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 2y
Okay this is really really fucking cool and I wanna try it out. It's... tangentially related to the issue. Thanks for sharing it anyway!!
Knusper@feddit.de · 2 pts · 2y
Bookmarks Organizer is quite cool for just cleaning up broken bookmarks, duplicates etc..

I LOVE that this offers offline archiving. That's something I really want on occasion and I don't know how to do.
gibmiser@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Probably stupid but my brain says use excel or a Google sheet and then you can sort and do tags however you want
