This is actually the reason why I stated a newsletter (weeklyrobotics.com). I was finding things on the Internet that were interesting, but then I could never find them again. I discovered that limiting search to my own domain made it much easier.

I’m using raindrop.io to save all the bookmarks in one place, and then while working on them I go through the top of the unsorted bookmarks, and select the ones I will feature in the newsletter.

This still doesn’t solve the problem of heaps of unsorted links (over 1.4k after around 3 years).

If I was to do something that you describe, I would probably look into dedicating some time into organizing your bookmarks, and if taking it to the next level then I would consider using TriliumNotes for making notes and categorizing the knowledge.

Thanks! I took a quick look to Raindrop.io, it seems powerful and full of features. At this point I'm wondering why they did not solve the problem of unsorted links. Since there is a browser extension, a simple solution would be to allow user to add optional tags when the user bookmarks the link.
When you add a link to raindrop.io you can add it to any of your folders. Tags are yet another thing they support but I don’t use them extensively.
