This looks like a nice project!

I always have a love hate relationship with bookmarks. I tend to treat bookmarks as a write once read never datastore. I have a set of 2-3 bookmarklets that I use often, but almost never use other bookmarks. I do keep an archive of pages or links I find interesting, but I store those in a separate archive (self hosted Karakeep).

So, I’m legitimately curious — for the author or others — how do you use bookmarks? What is your personal usage pattern? Do you have many pages you need to keep track of? Is there much churn or adding of new bookmarks? I’d like to make beater use of my stored links, but right now it is really a write-only archive.

I use bookmark tags a lot, and rely on them to quickly find things in future.

I bookmark all sorts of things. Projects or articles that I think I'll likely need in future, issues which I report and might need to reference in future, etc.

I'm sure over 50% of my bookmark were written and never read, but I definitely query all sorts of old bookmarks nearly every day.

Thank you! I have similar issues with bookmark managers overall. When they are too far from where I use them, it turns into a list of links I never read

In Arc, I'd organize links in dedicated workspaces for each project (personal or work). So whenever I work on a specific project, I'd open that workspace and have all the necessary links right there. For example, I tend to check Product Hunt often, and I have a dedicated workspace where I'd store products organized by my personal use cases. So next time I'm looking for a tool for something, I'd just open that workspace and search

I use Obsidian (other note-taking apps and editor modes are available) and generally write at least a sentence about each bookmark. Subject areas get their own notes/bookmarks and I use the available linking and tagging options to try to make the resource more useful and easier to refer to in the future.
