Looking for recommendations on good bookmark managers, as I plan to start sharing what I have in my read it later pile on the blog.
I haven't done the math, but my guess is that I add five new articles to my "read it later" pile for every one I actually read. I don't have a problem with that being the case, as it only means that I have a lot of interesting things to choose from whenever I sit down with my reMarkable 2. (The best "read it later" device I've ever had, by the way. Worth its own blog post sometime.)
Some of the things I read end up in the Linked section here on my blog. But as writing even those short posts takes some time, I don't end up writing enough of them.
So now, I've been asked if I can share what I add to my reading queue as well. And that's what I intend to add to my blog as the next "feature."
To do this, I need an intermediary step. A bookmark manager where I can easily add links that look interesting enough to suggest to others, from which new blog posts are created automatically.
What I'm looking for is a bookmark manager that:
- Is available online, from any device I use
- Is preferably self-hosted
- Makes it easy to add tags (and occasionally even a description) when adding new bookmarks from iOS and macOS
- Makes RSS feeds available for the different tags (or in some other way makes it possible to integrate with n8n)
Once the bookmarks are pushed through the RSS feeds, the idea is to let n8n poll for new links every hour or so, and add new ones as posts in a new section here on the blog.
After asking for suggestions on Mastodon, I now have a shortlist to dig into:
If you can vouch for any of them, or have a new suggestion, please drop by in the Mastodon thread – or reach out by mail.
And related to all of the above, my post about news monitoring with LLMs and n8n might be of interest as well.
