Easy. Tana is the only answer. Of course, all the other tools are great for what they're good at. But Tana is the best for storing links

I think about the incoming generation of tech adopters and I think this problem persists for atleast another century.

Think it depends on what you want to save it for? Reading it later in the week or collecting on a topic. My personal fav: are.na, requires personal curation though, but I have a general clippings folder Have seen a lot of people using mem.ai on Twitter, a similar competition is mymind.com

This problem is so real! My current solution is to just msg myself on WhatsApp 😂 it feels like the fastest way to get it done without much friction

just leave it open in one of hundreds of browser tabs until a random software update resets your browser state and purges it from your life/memory and say "guess it wasn't that important anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️)

If it’s something I want to read later: hit the Readwise extension If it’s something I want to be able to access later: pinboard (bookmarklet or share sheet)

The hard part is any such collection seems to often turn into a graveyard of links that grows to such an overwhelming volume that it becomes easier to just ignore than to actually prune through it.

Was working on building something using fip2 for this for @unjumble, but have to get some other stuff done first. My midwit stack atm: Highlight section(s) - readwise Design-related - are.na One off read later - Instapaper Casts - I just watch them fk me Everything else - Apple notes (eg list for a given subject)

I learned to accept Apple Notes as the one true repository of all my bullshit.

Raindrop.io for links (I have tens of thousands from 20+ years) with tags. If it's something I want to read, it goes to Readwise Reader where I can highlight, annotate and tag. Highlights currently get sent to Tana, but I've been playing around with Obsidian because it's not cloud.
