Why does this take an "app"?

Oh

You're on your phone, of course

Where there has to be An App For Everything(tm)

Hey, Fediverse,

What tool/app use for bookmarking and managing links?
Raindrop? Pinboard? Other?
Curious about its new and interesting.

Thanks.

Yesterday was SO exciting! I actually did #github stuff for the 1st time ever: learned what 'forking' was and what 'commits' are!

Using https://github.com/abuseofnotation/feed-aggregator I merged my #RSS feeds (so far I've got #Dreamwidth #Masto #Raindrop & put them into my #Neocities. The crowd in my head is going WILD right now!

I used #Perplexity to help me along. Wondering if, in an ironic twist, ppl will use #AI for #IndieWeb endeavors like this rejecting #BigTech...

Teymur asked me, probably hoping for some kind of automation. Alas, there is none. And still, here is my “workflow” for my link blog.

Step 1: Input

I find articles, links, etc. all over the place. Many of them come through Mastodon and almost all remaining ones come from my feed reader. (NetNewsWire, in case you want to know.)

Step 2: Putput

If one of the posts/links look like something I want to read a bit more closely later on, they’ll now (finally!) end up in Wallabag. I used to be a Pocket power user and ever since they closed down, I was a bit unmoored. Enough so, that I stopped after step 1 for quite a long time.

Step 3: Output

When I feel like it, I read those things again and when I still find them interesting, I throw them into my Raindrop account. Once an hour a script calls their API and puts the link on my website. (Now why would I use Raindrop instead of just putting them directly into the database? Laziness, mostly. It was easier to quickly write the cronjob than to write an admin backend that is as nice to use as Raindrop.)

And there you have it. A workflow!

A #rainy day today, so I won't be going out on a walk. Fine opportunity to reflect on things I'm grateful for. Among them is this happy little #raindrop; I've re-strung him twice in the years I've worn him, but he still brings a smile to my face.

Thanks again to @moonrabbit and to her excellent little shop at https://www.driftingspirits.art - you're doing great work.

Stay kind,
C

I picked a good time to switch back to #Inoreader. It just announced support for saving stuff to #Raindrop. 👍🏻👍🏻

Last week, Mozilla announced their plans to shut down Pocket.

I spent the weekend exploring alternatives to see which ones match my needs and wrote about what I found in my blog.

A lot of options! And while not all met my needs, they may be good options for you.
