Do you guys keep bookmarks to various sites? If so, how do you manage them?
@mckinley In a simple text file in my dotfiles repo (synced across machines) and then I have a little dmenu wrapper for opening them. Works for me. Up until a few years ago, I used a hand-written bookmarks.html like this one (and then I got tired of writing html 🤣): https://www.uninformativ.de/desktop/2012-09-13--dwm-greenish.png

@movq Thanks for the response. Fixing my bookmark situation once and for all is the project for this weekend. I'm all over the place. I have bookmarks in several browsers and multiple text files spread across a handful of different computers. I'll probably end up writing a blog post about it.

@mckinley I don’t usually bookmark very much I usually just keep pinned tabs of various things that I actively use

@movq @mckinley You could always look at using golinks?

I been using saved.io for years, where you just add saved.io/ in front of the link you want to save. And I got a tabs.txt file that I might never look through...

@mckinley I just use bookmarks in Firefox (don't use any other browser) and put more frequently used stuff like search engines in my ~/.tridactylrc for quick access. More temporary stuff is just left open in a tab. The same goes for pages, that are always there. Yeah, this results in a mess of tabs, but I got used to that.
➕➕ for saved.io\n\nI loved delicious, back in the day.
@mckinley @movq I've been meaning to do that for years! At some point I was settling on plain text files, still believe it's the best option.

@mckinley I don’t bookmark. I search everything. For me, having bookmarks is the equivalent of a huge bookshelf, full of books I never, or seldom, read/re-read.
@mckinley Always badly...\n\nI have moved over to storing on my nextcloud. First using the bookmark app, but I don't often return there to find something. Now I just paste recent links into nextcloud notes so I can easily group a series, and move from phone to pc. That requires a clean up now and then
Thanks for the input everyone! Saved.io and Golinks look interesting but I want something that has a few more features and stores the information locally. I get it @fastidious but I find that it pays off when I'm trying to find something and it's right there in my bookmarks.

@fastidious @mckinley Love a groaning bookshelf. 🧐😉😜
@fastidious Oh, that's an interesting take, I need to think about it. The thing is, I just use bookmarks at work on a daily basis but only very rarely for private things (except search engine shortcuts of course).
