I frequently just email myself links to sites or articles I find helpful (usually some permalink to a specific comment buried deep in a thread that was the answer to some technical issue I had). There are probably close to a hundred of them now in my email. Do y’all have a more efficient / effective way to store these and some notes to self with them that won’t keep eating up inbox space? Also looking for a solution that isn’t OS specific, and accessible on any device via cloud-something. Solutions?

    So many options here;

    Just press CTRL+D

    ​

    or use gmail and tags, then archive the messages so they don’t ‘take up space’

    ​

    or a notepad text doc in dropbox

    ​

    or google keep

    Archivebox might be something to look at. Open source, self hosted, made for archiving websites.
    So it not only keeps track of your mass of links, you can also snapshot/archive them when you add them. So if they ever were to go down, you’d still have a copy yourself.
    https://archivebox.io/

    Though to be fair, I have not actually tried it out myself. I looked at it a few times but I don’t personally have a need for it so. Worth taking a look at though.
