    I used to think like that, stored everything in Pinboard, tagged properly. I also used to use nvalt (https://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt/) for that as it had good search and I didn't have to switch to other tabs to search Pinboard. It felt good to "catalog" all this knowledge but in reality I never went back to it, just like bookmarks and I realized that if something is important enough I'll always be able to re-find or re-download almost everything I ever found. Not feeling like you have to catalog and store everything in personal knowledge management apps is very liberating.

    When you find something you want to view later, put it in Pocket.
    I use [Pocket](https://getpocket.com/en/) for this. There’s a browser extension and an iOS app; both are optimized for saving quickly. Later, I tag each item for easier search.

    I was a heavy pinboard user but recently made the switch to a paid plan on https://raindrop.io/. I tested a few self-hosted OSS solutions but none of them felt right for me. Still too early to say anything meaningful about raindrop but I’ve already found it useful a number of times.
