What is a bookmark manager?
Saving a link is easy. Remembering why you saved it is the hard part, and it is the only thing that makes the collection useful later.
What matters here
- A saved URL with a title
- A note on why it mattered
- Tags or folders for retrieval
- Search across titles and notes
- A pruning habit, or it becomes clutter
The pile problem
Browser bookmarks grow silently and are almost never revisited. The bar fills, the folder structure becomes a maze, and the useful items are indistinguishable from the rest.
Context is the feature
One line about what the link is and why you saved it turns a dead bookmark into a usable reference. Without it you are trusting a title to carry the meaning.
Reading lists versus references
A reading list is a queue you intend to clear. A reference collection is a library you search. Mixing them means the queue is always enormous and the library is unsearchable.
