Recently I used to tidy up my pile with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bookmarks-clean-up/

But still there about 800+ websites, articles to go. If I put it to AI, my token number will flush away. Whats your routine or recommendation?

    It's a growing task I have been putting off for over a decade

    I have about ~100 articles on Red Sails and essays on ProleWiki open, plus a few articles from other sites. I read about 5-10 a week, so this should last me a few more months.

    I run Linkwarden on my home server.

    One folder is uncategorised catch all place and the rest is neatly categorised by projects I am working on linked to my notes.

    I review once a while to clean up.

    What do you use for notes and how do you connect it to Linkwarden? Many years ago I used Pocket (formerly known as Read It Later) and I eventually realized I was saving stuff and never going back to it.

    I recently started saving stuff in HelixNotes because I figured the problem was saving things without context. (And putting them directly in my notes ensures there's always context around them)

    I haven't tried Linkwarden but it sounds awesome. I just don't wanna run into the same issue I had with hoarding links like I did with Pocket.

  • I currently use Obsidian for notes, I really like the canvas function this has to map out ideas and projects. Didn't know HelixNotes, looks promising (and opensource, which Obsedian is not)

    I don't have a automatic connection between Obsidian and Linkwarden. I use Linkwarden for temporary storage and import the text/images into Obsidian via the browser plugin. Its a constant workflow for me so not a lot of buildup, but context deffinetly matters.

    I don't have bookmarks. I have tabs.

    I plan on retiring next year. My bookmark collection is so large, collected over the last 2 decades . . I've put this task on my "things to do in the first year" bucket. I expect it will take me days and days to sort through!

    My bookmarks are organised into folders. Once an open folder gets a scroll bar, I prune the links.

    I have hundreds of bookmarks, that I review constantly, and dozens of RSS feeds of sites I read news from. Sometimes I send myself messages on Telegrams to keep track of articles I want to read.

    I have three or four folders just for tvtropes. I checked one and it could be 100+

    I didn't check the others and stopped looking at my bookmarks for a long while

    That long while is still going

    i just bookmark everything i like even slightly, then i can search them back again with their title on my searchbar. i also extract all the urls from bookmarks.html and download them once a year or so for archival.

    4k bookmarks atm. Accumulated over multiple decades. I don't dare look at some parts of my bookmarks, but they are still useful; I have folders I refer to regularly, and doing a bookmark search with * in Firefox helps me find a lot of things I want to return to.

    There's a few hundred in there but they're all at least 10 years old, and I never look at them.

    Mine are pretty full but I write lectures and use bookmarks to keep a record of sources if I ever need to revise something or cite my source. I do have everything organized by topic.

    I only have about 50 pages bookmarked, neatly organized in folders. How tf do some of you have hundreds of bookmarks?

    Bookmarks? I have a decent list, haven't actually checked any of those links since I first bookmarked them.

    Now, browser tabs that I have open on my phone? Probably close to 200.

    Excessive. Spread across several devices and countless bookmarks.html exports from old system installs. I am too busy to revisit or even curate them.

    In my mind, I assume that I will be given notice of the day that the internet will be closed off, when Youtube ads will be completely unblockable, and I will rush to download every last article and video in those bookmarks, then live happily ever after off-grid.
