@amerpie Do you, personally, use GoodLinks as a bookmark manager? It seems ill-suited to that but maybe I'm being unfair.

I'm going through one of my occasional bursts of dissatisfaction with both read-it-later apps and bookmark managers. Maybe I should give GoodLinks another try.

@MitchW I am 100% on Team Raindrop. If you are a blogger, you can create pages with select bookmarks in a frame on a web page like this (📘 Links | (amerpie.lol). You can import your entire Pocket library if you want to. The share sheet on iOS is easy to use. With the browser extension you just type rd and hit tab and you can search your entire collection. You can organize by folder, tags or both and the Raindrop app further classifies your bookmarks as articles, videos or documents. It keeps an archived copy of web pages you save in case they get taken down. If you use Obsidian, there is a plugin to sync your bookmarks in your vault. I have a whole Obsidian workflow with Raindrop

@MitchW I've been using it for about a month because I liked what the developer did with 1Writer, including continuing its development, unlike what happened with Editorial. GoodLinks has its quirks, but it's not bad for links and reading. For longer-term archiving, though, I tend to use DEVONthink.

@markstoneman How do you save your place if you are in the middle of a long article?

I have DevonThink but I don't think to use it for archiving. I've mainly stopped using it, except as one of the archives I keep of my own articles.

@MitchW If you need to bookmark and you're not reading on a phone, DT will let you clip pages as a paginated PDF, or a single long PDF. Those can be bookmarked. If you're reading on a phone too, the webarchive works well. In that case I'd be looking at highlighting (jump to relevant highlight with with document annotations inspector) or simply making a note of the section title or first sentence or clause of the paragraph where I want to jump back in (the way I would note a location to cite any unpaginated text in a footnote). This is the method I would use on GL too. I've never managed to make DT feel good as a working environment on my Mac or iPad, but it makes a decent archive, and it's okay to read in. Also, you can open its files in any app configured for that particular file format.
