Bookmarks are underrated features. It's a good way to help you keep track
of not only what you need to read but also what you need to do. Further, your
bookmarks can be a way to structure your reading and your knowledge, for future
reference, as Josh Leeb talked about [here](https://joshleeb.com/posts/organizing-bookmarks.html).

Inspired by a friend of mine, in January 2024 I started having a "reading list"
of my bookmarks. As commented on [RSS and why I love it](https://noghartt.dev/blog/rss-and-why-i-love-it),
I have a RSS feed that I use to read a lot of things during the day. But, one thing
that I missed was the ability to have a list of things that should store: what I

that I missed was the ability to have a list of things that shall store: what I
already read and what I need to read (in the future, that kind of list always
increases).

So, as you can see on my [bookmarks page](https://noghartt.dev/bookmarks), I have

### How do I store my bookmarks?

The tool that I use to manage my bookmarks is [Omnivore](https://omnivore.app/),
an open source bookmark manager and "read-it later" app. For my use case, it's a
great tool, I have their extension for browser installed that I use to store the
tab that I'm seeing.

the tab that I'm seeing.

Also, I'm using their mobile app, which let me read all the bookmarks that I have.
In that case, I'm using it most for reading my "read-it later" articles while on
gym, for example.

## About the list of my bookmarks

As mentioned before, further the list on Omnivore, I have a list of my bookmarks
inside this blog. In that, I have two specific ways to organize them: grouped by
inside this blog. I have two specific ways to organize them: grouped by
month and grouped by tags.

Most of the time, I'm using it based on tags because I think that it's how my brain
works, so it's faster to remember what I exactly want. For example, if I want to
read something that I didn't read yet, I can just go to the tag `#for-later`. If
I want to recover something related to a computer science topic, I can go to the
If I want to recover something related to a computer science topic, I can go to the
tag `#cs` or one of their specific subtags like `#cs/distsys`.

Specifically about tags, mentioning again Josh Leeb, he wrote a post about

In my case, I have a kind of implementation of what he mentioned as HNT (Hierarchical
Namespaced Tagging), so on Omnivore and, you can see here at my blog, I did a hierarchical
structure for my tags. But, I think that it's a process that can be error prone
sometimes, like when you need to be a more specific tag or a less specific, or when
you didn't find a specific tag that matches your needs for some bookmark.

or when You didn't find a specific tag that matches your need for some bookmarks.

## About the habit of reading later

Then, as mentioned before, one of my specific tags that I use (and I believe that
is one of the most used by myself), is `#for-later`. Specifically this tag, I use
to store every bookmark that I didn't read yet but I think that it's interesting.

I don't like the idea of storing "read-it later" articles at all, seems to be more
a product of a FOMO than a real interest, but it's something that I still maintaining
just as a "habit".

Also, I think that it's a trade-off that you need to deal with, your list of read-it
later articles will be growing over time, and you will need to choose and validate
