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.
I use raindrop primarily as a cross platform bookmarker and personal archiver, as the paid plan saves backups of web pages. Just save + add tags for anything I read and may want to refer to later. Tags + free text search makes finding things easy. I don’t worry about folders/collections because the goal is speed.
Raindrop only archives public sites like a crawler though, so it often fails due to captchas or paywalls.
I also use the SingleFile browser extension and screenshots to archive amything I’m logged into locally. Recoll indexes them for easy searching.
I’ve been planning to test out ArchiveBox but the current approach works well enough.
Hi, just to clarify: If you want to save something that’s behind a paywall/captcha but you’re paying for it or have access to it, can you screenshot it and then move it into Raindrop? Or do you just have to use a separate bookmarker/archiver for that stuff?
