    Hey HN! I built SaveIt.now after drowning in 1,211 bookmarks I could never find. So I created a bookmark manager without folders or complex organization - just let the tool organize everything for you and use AI to search! Try it free, just need to sign in P.S. iOS app is coming :)

    I recently re-jiggered my blog to use pinboard as it's CMS. A cron job runs once every 15 minutes and generates a static HTML file of my most recent 15 posts. Yes it is fairly limited in what it can do, but it's a great simple way to make what I already do on pinboard into a link blog.

    Nothing fancy. Bookmarker is a simple, browser-based app for managing bookmarks. Save links, create collections, pin items, search your knowledge base quickly. Still in beta, would be great to hear your thoughts so I can make it better.

    I like playing around with bookmarklets (bookmarks that are executable JavaScript) And I wanted to make a Quine (code that prints a copy of its own source code ad infinitum) So I made a bookmark-only notepad that saves a copy of its own executable and current state to a JavaScript executable bookmarklet. As you type, a link on the page updates with the source code and the internal state. You can drag this link to the bookmarks bar to “save” your work. Works cross device if you have browser sync on. No server involved!
