I have lots of them and arranging, finding or deleting is tricky sometimes. The search option in bookmarks is cool, but I can’t select and edit or delete bookmarks using it.
Currently I sync bookmarks with a pc and then rearrange it and sync back.
How do you do it? Are there any other settings or techniques you use or know of?
Thanks in advance
Badly.
I self-host Hoarder. It supports full-text search (indexes the entire page) and can use OpenAI to auto-tag all links.
I’m usually skeptical of AI, but this is a good use case for it, and it’s cheap - I imported hundreds of links from Pinboard and it cost around $0.30 to auto-tag all of them. It can use ollama instead of OpenAI, if you’re into self-hosted AI.
Folders, subfolders and a system to organize bookmarks into them… More or less, it’s not always efficient enough for me to remember where I kept that cool random brackets generator web I once found, but I’m fine with it.
Floccus.
@Achyugesundheit.
Thank you.
First of all, the meagre ‘search’ in ‘Manage Bookmarks’ does not tell you where a ‘found’ bookmark IS, which makes it next to useless. (If ONLY it would tell you that in the list you see when you click the URL.)
Over the years (on DESKTOP, I can only guess the horrors on tinyscreen) I’ve developed a system of folders with generic names that I use to sort BMs as I add them. My 3 top categories - the only ones visible in the ‘Toolbar’ are OFTEN (frequently visited sites grouped by folder), RESOURCES (folders at the top are most-visited) and LOCAL (most-visited on top). I also use the ‘New bookmark order’ extension, which adds new bookmarks to THE TOP of whatever folder I put them in (easy to open and drag-into folder topic).
Works, but it’s hardly ideal, that’s for sure. Don’t think anyone at Moz has addressed this design in years.)
Thank you.
Let us hope(very little tho) that someone here sees it and takes action.
I also sync with all my devices and I only use the bookmark bar with folders. But I am not a very heavy bookmarks user.
I just don’t ever organized bookmarks, and rarely use any to begin with. You can search through bookmarks in the URL bar, so no need to go through folders with them.
i’ll save this for later cause i’ve been just opening tabs out of private mode and simply not removing them when i want them saved
i really should be using bookmarks
I don’t use the builtin bookmarks. I use Readeck (and Wallabag before it) to save stuff for later. Lets me tag them, has good search, and even archives what I save. Comfortable to use on phone, too.
Does require selfhosting it, though.
Thank you
