Holy hell this looks really cool! its about 70% of what i need it to be out of the box! and it has a decent api as well. I might just end up using this. Anything you have in mind on the retrieval/ search side of things?

I think it really depends on how you want to use it. There are 'Collections' which are basically like custom categories you can create as well as #tags. When you add a bookmark you can put it directly into one of your collections and add tags. I have created a few collections around high level areas but have generally just added bookmarks without sorting, then after I read them I will move them into a bucket. The highlighting feature is very nice as well.

I would try it out for a few days and see how you like it. I definitely think there is something psychologically behind saving links and never reading them, I have quite the backlog.

It's like having peace of mind or hoarding—you never know when you might need those links down the road, but knowing they're stashed away somewhere is pretty comforting.

I used Raindrop with 7,000 links, and I usually go back to some of them to recall or confirm information.
