Remember, bookmarks are not forever unless past you meant to save a 404 page. If you want to come back to it, save the specific info or save the page. Saving it to archive.org also works for now.

Archive.org’s browser extension is a must for something like this, could archive everything by itself every 24 hours if configured

The real reminder…Now to find desktop software that gives the option to save a copy when bookmarking stuff.

that little star on the address bar was the worst thing they could have added to a browser. i’ve been mashing that thing forever… so many bookmarks never re-visited. thousands and thousands. but there is that time or two every year where i vaguely remember seeing something but can’t remember where, and actually find the page when i search through the ‘all bookmarks’ window.

I actually have my own personal project for this: a bookmark app that also serves as archive app

Sadly personal life stuff kinda made this project stop, even though I already bought the domain 😢

No, I already read it. I bookmarked it so I can refer to it later.

Sadly lots of artworks inside it are from Twitter, and Twitter is very closed right now, making it hard to archive/save the works.

Link rot is a serious problem for bookmark hoarders. I intend to self host a bookmark manager called linkwarden which archives the content of each bookmark for this reason.

This is a great reason to transfer them over to Pinterest. They stay alive and if you so desire, you can select your collection of artwork to be open to the public to find/see.
