Something interesting you want to read. Items in this category should be automatically removed after a certain period of time, so it doesn't get out of hand. New RSS feed items would also fit into this category.
2) Save-for-later
Something you're sure will be useful down the road. This should be retrieved first and foremost using a powerful full-text search engine. Minimal tagging can also be very helpful. Lastly, it's critical these items are archived by the bookmark manager so you always have the content even if the website shuts down.
3) Todo
Something you need to take action on. For example, buy this product, try this new open-source library, install an app, etc. These should have optional reminders to alert you at a certain day or time.
Currently my system is a terrible mess: I email myself for read-later and todo but put save-for-later in Pocket. This is very frustrating because there's tons of bookmark manager options but none support all 3 types, most have terrible search, are slow, and don't have full-text search or archival.
So last year I started building what's going to be the Superhuman of Bookmark Managers:
It will be 100% open-source and available as a hosted service.
I'm focusing on the fundamentals: speed, performance, robustness. I'm using PouchDB, so all your data is 100% offline which makes it very, very fast. Of course, it'll support all 3 bookmark types, have full-text search and archival. It'll run on all browsers and platforms, including mobile apps built in react-native. It's UI is going to be fun, geeky, and beautiful sci-fi with multiple light/dark color themes.
If this sounds interesting, sign-up on the site — I'd love to chat with you about this.
I like your strategy. I have a "For Review" folder in my toolbar. Things get read and Saved or Removed from there. I export my bookmarks every few days also. And I have a link on my toolbar to the bookmarks.html I save to.
I feel like you understand my digital hoarding better than most. Would love to contribute in any way I can to this project (financial or my own sweat). Let me know if you are looking for help.
