  Another piece of your extended mind

1. you often don't know what resources you will really "value" in the future, so no more to save or not to save, this is the question

2. tagging, to be effective, require discipline (thinking about then sticking to an agile system). So, we just replace it with search, preferably NLP/AI (so you don't have to remember the exact keywords)

Apps do exist, from the expansive [1] to the experimental [2].

Personally I invested time in my filling system, and over-saving does not cause me much angst, so I’m OK with it. I also use maintenance as an occasion for renewed discovery.

I used to think like that, stored everything in Pinboard, tagged properly. I also used to use nvalt (https://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt/) for that as it had good search and I didn't have to switch to other tabs to search Pinboard.

It felt good to "catalog" all this knowledge but in reality I never went back to it, just like bookmarks and I realized that if something is important enough I'll always be able to re-find or re-download almost everything I ever found.

Not feeling like you have to catalog and store everything in personal knowledge management apps is very liberating.

  每周一篇，记录本周看到的有用的、有趣的事情。

Hi, I have the same problem and I found a method that works for me. I bookmark or scribble into my phone memo every week that I see interesting or useful links — articles, software, frameworks, code repositories, cool websites, etc. Every Saturday I will take a few hours to review and organize these resources, and write a markdown document.

I've been on it for 24 weeks and am sure I can keep doing it. Reorganizing and thinking will be more rewarding. When I need to find a resource but I can't remember it, I will turn on the computer and use vscode's fuzzy search (it may be more convenient to make an online search entry, which is enough for now).
