Ask HN: Where do you save interesting links?
I've tried Pocket, which kinda sucked. I've tried maintaining a .txt on my laptop, but that makes things hard to search, format, and transfer onto my phone. I've even tried making my own app, but there are a bunch of features that I want which I don't want to spent time coding up.
What do you guys use to save links?

[ 10.3 ms ] story [ 235 ms ] threadTo open bookmarks, I type a "*" in the location bar and then a term I am searching for.
For bookmarks, that I have a tough time finding, I will edit the bookmark and add a tag. This lets me use the tag with the "*" location search.

Simple, enough features to sort and search and works on multiple devices.
You can only search for bookmarks right now. I loaded my bookmarks by converting a Netscape-format bookmarks.html file to JSON.
So you could just use your browser's bookmarking feature and occasionally import them. (I exported my bookmarks from https://www.bkmks.com/)

For more general topics I'll post on HN or subreddit so it's in my profile.
I also save to Firefox bookmarks, but I rarely ever go look at those lists and don't put much effort into saving them. I'll copy my home directory and if I get it in an accessible manner great. Can't recall the last time I searched an old Firefox profile directory for anything.
And here is the actual links page https://umtksa.github.io/links/
