> a) it does better

that's not very interesting because when I find an interesting read I rarely bookmark it. For me bookmarks are links that I visit often.

> b)

that is a fair point, however I think the wayback way is still not too shabby an idea. It ensures there's a copy snapshotted just in case, and yes it might not last forever but it's done a fantastic job so far so not trusting it now just because it'll not survive sounds a minor risk imho.



it's not "browser" bookmark. It's "add a bookmark" into the app

see https://github.com/Uzay-G/archivy/blob/master/main/templates...

it's just a form where you paste the URL of the site you're interested.


so? I don't understand why this is a meaningful statement.

Lots of us use Pinboard.in or similar "bookmark" services. They aren't "Browser bookmarks" they're just forms in some separate app too. We find them more useful than browser bookmarks. The pasting can easily be worked around with a simple bookmarklet.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.


clashmeifyoucan was saying "For me bookmarks are links that I visit often" which I interpreted as "browser bookmark".

When I read the description of Archivy, I had the same impression (it somehow captures the action of bookmarking).

So I looked at the code to see how it was done, and in fact, as you said, it's more like a local pinboard/similar "bookmark" services.

No real point to make, just clarify what 'bookmark' it was.
