You're nearly there my friend: bookmarks should be centered around content and not around links.[1]

I've written a lot about this, and I got so annoyed with bookmarking and highlighting services getting it so frustratingly wrong[2] that I wrote my own solution from the ground up in 2020[3], and I have never looked back to Pinboard, Instapaper or Readwise.

It's honestly not that hard once you get the mental model and if you aren't interested in using a service you can easily build something that suits your own needs over a few weekends.

[1]: Links are definitely important metadata though!
