  • evernote-publisher

    Evernote collection system which organizes notes into a flexible format which allows for easy publishing.

  • I actually do something similar, but it uses Evernote WebClipper to track tags archive a snapshot of the page. They are then indexed by both tags and date.

    https://jaytaylor.com/notes (warning: all on one page, it's grown large over the years, please be gentle to my poor server)

    It's open-source, just a pile of python you hook up an Evernote API key and tell it which "notebook" to use:

    https://github.com/jaytaylor/evernote-publisher

    AFAIK, I'm the only one using it :)

  • buku

    :bookmark: Personal mini-web in text

  • And in the near future I`ll upload resources in a webarchive format to ipfs node to preserve some of the current internet (and to not get involved with rate limiting when I update my buku metadata. Sorry HN, I'm not spamming, just updating meta data for my bookmark archive.)

  • pegao

    Pegao is a community about lists of links on topics of interest.

  • In 2019 I built my own bookmark while learn Reactjs, I launched it as open source and I still use it even though I am the only active user. This is an example with my profile: https://pegao.co/@zakokor

  • grasp

    A reliable org-capture browser extension for Chrome/Firefox

  • I'm not using browser bookmarks anymore, instead I am just using plaintext files (org-mode in my case). When I want to make a bookmark I use grasp [0] to simply capture in in the 'links.org' file, possibly with some notes/selected text and tags. Now and then I would skim through this file, refile the most important/interesting things to other files, and put the rest into 'later.org' (things I might never look at again :) ). The upside is that bookmarks become alive this way, you can easily edit them, add more context, interlink, etc.

    I also mirror saved items from other services (e.g. reddit/HN/twitter/instapaper) as plaintext org-mode files, via orger [1].

    Then, all of this feeds into Promensia [0] [1], a tool I wrote that serves as a web browsing copilot and surfaces my bookmarks (or any relevant links, really) when I'm browsing.

    That way I don't need to worry about spending too much time processing bookmarks and that I'd never read them, I can just read the most interesting stuff and the rest is searchable (so I use it as a knowledge base/personal search engine), and surfaces in my browser via Promnesia, so I can find out if I have some relevant information in my knowledge base without actively searching. I don't need to suffer from vendor lock-in (even if the service/tool is open, migration is always painful), I can just add another adapter to my system and feed it into Promnesia/Orger.

  • bookmark-publisher

  • Conveniently, the Chrome Bookmarks file already is JSON and I created a small tool that takes it as input and renders it with Handlebars templates. It also includes a simple way to get thumbnails and an HTML template with expandable folders (no JavaScript needed).
