       Ask HN: How do you keep track of all the content you encounter?
        
       I spend a lot of my time looking at HN, reddit, and a lot of other
       aggregation sites to find new cool projects or ideas. I have
       hundreds of browser bookmarks, my pocket saves are unwieldy, and a
       ton of different github stars.  How do people keep track of
       everything they're encountering? Like sometimes I'll see something
       and it will remind me of a post or project I saw months ago, but
       it's almost up to chance if I'm able to find it again or link the
       two concepts together.

       | I have this problem as well. It'd be neat if Raindrop.io would
