I am looking for a tool/workflow, with which I can manage a collection of all the stuff I see on the internet and elsewhere, that they are worth reading at a time in one place.

This includes:

  • blog articles I randomly find on the internet
  • social media posts
  • news articles from RSS feeds
  • books (pdf,epub,…)
  • wikipedia articles
  • topics I want to do further research on
  • aso…

A lot of these things are bookmarks, I know that. I tried to manage my “ToBeRead” list in bookmarks before, but it didnt work out for me, because some things simply aren’t URLs, that can be bookmarked (e.g. PDFs, just names of research topics).

Besides that, longer threads on mastodon/lemmy e.g. can be easily bookmarked in the app itself, but than you start to manage multiple lists in multiple locations, which I want to avoid.

I am running my own Nextcloud instance and would like to also sync this stuff across devices with it.

I figured out (while using obsidian) that my brain works better when I dont have to worry about where to put things, but just tag them with topics, by relevance, e.g. So tags and the option to filter them would be nice!

Thanks beforehand :)

Edit: Doimg this with Nextcloud Deck, or synching an Obsidian Vault with Nextcloud came up to my mind, but I couldn’t come up with an idea for a conveniant workflow, but maybe it’s easier than I think?

    I use Readeck for ‘read it later’ type articles, things of interest. The downside of Readeck is that there is no one-click-easy way to back up your database if you want to move it to another server. You can, however go to /volume1/docker/readeck/ and download all the db files there manually which will allow you to move to another server. Make sure to grab the config.toml in the same directory. It has a Firefox extension as with most of these apps in it’s genre. Probably has a chrome extension but I avoid chrome.

    I use Karakeep (Hoarder) for stuff I’ve looked up to try to solve issues, such as pages from Grok where I have inquired about certain problems I may have been having.

      What is keeping you from using karakeep for you “read-it-later” articles, too?

        I use both as well. Karakeep is a fantastic bookmarking app and could definitely work as a “read it later” application, but I think the differentiator is how they approach content. Karakeep more or less preserves the link and all content, but Readeck provides the content in a simplified version without ads/margins/navigation menus/etc. this also allows you better customization of fonts/sizes/etc.

        When I want to bookmark a website for access/interaction later, it goes to Karakeep. When I want to save content to read later it goes to Readeck
