Right now, I have a mess of bookmarks, open tabs, and things saved haphazardly in different apps. I want a system where I can organize it all and also keep it reasonably private. Open to all suggestions, whether that’s an app or a tool or a personal trick or some completely different way of interacting with the internet.
You could use a bookmarks manager / read-it-later service where you’d save every article you read (or at least the ones you find most interesting). Most of them have a tagging system for organising by topic, some of them (including Readeck, the one I use) even locally save the article’s content so you can search in it too, not just in the titles.
Readeck looks really cool! Can you sync across multiple devices? It’s not necessarily a dealbreaker for me if not (I can still consolidate/organize a lot of things better than I am now), but that would be a nice feature to have.
edit: also, can you associate links/articles with more in-depth notes than just tags?
Your Readeck instance is the source of truth, every client syncs from it. A note though: Readeck does not have a cloud hosted version yet, it’s supposed to be coming in the later part of the year.
You can highlight pieces text and add comments to highlighted pieces, but no, you unfortunately cannot write down notes (like a summary) for a link.
Oh, OK. Thank you so much!!
