Does anybody store links as ... entries in their device's addressbook? Store a "Website" field, no "Phone" field, and keywords in the name fields. It might even be standards-compliant, and hence as easy to export and back up as your contacts. And your contacts search will be usable for bookmark search.

I have recently started doing this, and don't yet know how it will work out.

I tried this with Obsidian and make up my own YAML and use Dataview plugin to make a nice list of all my bookmarks. Of course, it'll never look as sleek as special bookmark sites. But damn, I have total freedom! Every bookmark is a .md note file. So whatever software breaks down, I still have access to my bookmarks with any markdown editor, or even with normal text editors.

@trinsec @tetrislife my zettelkasten has urls in a "url" field at the top of the file. long-term bookmarks go in there with a name and typically a note on what the thing is or was.

@icedquinn @tetrislife Neat! Yeah it's more useful for long-term ones. The short term are in my browser. If i hadn't bothered checking them out yet it's probably not worth noting down. :)
