| Beautiful site, nice simple design! I love seeing other text-
| based sites as I have made a few of my own and it's such a joy to
| work on them.
|
| In general though, I've moved on from saving links, and I think
| saving links and bookmarks doesn't really serve a purpose for me.
|
| These days I save highlights and store the links/books/locations
| as metadata, because I'm more interested in a searchable
| collection of _what_ I found interesting instead of _where_ I
| found something interesting (without the context of what that
| something was).
|
| There are some previous discussions[1] on HN about how I achieve
| this if this way of thinking seems as intuitive to anyone else as
| it does to me.

| terminal cli, that will be a plus too.. my 2c...

| That is a great idea. I am gonna add the ability to download

| First of all, this is a great url. In my head it's like

| There is Shaarli and Wallabag (archives pages to read later)

| Agreed, that name is catastrophically horrible.

| Thank you. Simple design = very useful. I like the bookmarklet.

| First there was del.icio.us.

|
| And now we're back to del.icio.us!
