    1. Bookmark management for non-technical people?

      TLDR; I'm looking for a free way to improve bookmark management without increasing cognitive load.

      I find that with the constant stream of information online, paired with my ADHD, I tend to know nothing in detail. So I bookmark so that I can return to the same articles regularly instead so that I can 1) stay informed with more depth rather than breadth and 2) contribute to online discourse when I see a gap.

      I'm using bookmark folders (by topic) for articles I want to refer back to regularly, and the built in "reading list" for things I do want to come back to but don't plan to keep a record of.

      But my bookmarks are overflowing because of all the other stuff I have folders for (admin logins, shopping, local services, social sites, online office stuff, literature and languages, fun stuff, etc).

      I also bookmark folders for these:

      • Politics (local/national)
      • Environment
      • Human rights issue #1
      • Human rights issue (n) ...

      These basically have 1) compelling facts in support of the issue or 2) important memorable counter statements to common misinformation.

      But I get easily lost among clutter, and I contend with brain fog. I've seen stuff about "second brain" online, but to be honest they're way too complicated for me (raindrop.io synced with this and that...). Is the folder system I'm using as good as it gets for people like me who need to avoid complexity?

      I'm currently on macOS & iOS but plan to return to linux when I next upgrade in a few years.

      Update: thanks so much for the recommendations. I've started using Wallabag to get essential articles organised and categorised with tags. This helps me remember their contents better and retrieve them more quickly.

      I'm also experimenting with Obsidian in parallel to see if it makes it easier or more challenging to do the same thing. It's the ideas within the articles I want to remember rather than just the headline, and some articles have a lot of different but useful information (for example, today I learned that if you earn more than roughly $33,000 per year, you are in the top 1% on the planet - one third of people on the planet live on $10 per day.). That was in an article about sustainable production and consumption, so the headline itself wouldn't necessarily help me remember that this is the article where that factoid lives.

      I have start.me bookmarked too and plan to keep my top 30 articles there.

      At some point I'll probably reduce the options from 3 down to 2 or 1. But whichever choice I go with, it's already much, much better than what I was doing before. Thanks again!

      Do you have any obscure books that you really enjoyed that you haven't had a place to recommend or feel like more people should read/know about?
      Feel free to share them here, hopefully with a brief description of the book and why you enjoyed it.

      I'm not putting a limit on number of reviews or that these have to be "hidden gems", but ideally lesser known works that have stuck with you, or you felt were great and feel like others might enjoy them as well.

      Kind of a simple question but I can't find a good answer for myself. How do you keep track of all those little (and big) things that you want to remember? I've tried Notion, Google Keep, Evernote and I'm sure other things that I can't remember but nothing seems to stick. I end up reverting back to the "just keep a shitload of browser tabs open on all my devices" approach. Have you found a solution you like to keep track of (and find later!) your notes, links, lists & other digital tidbits?

      Ballot Formatting

      • Ballot entries are NAME (VOTES) e.g. Pong (3)
      • Copy and paste the game titles from the list so they match exactly.
      • The ballots will be tallied using this script from u/Spore_Prince.
      • Any improper ballots will not be counted (but you will get a polite message from me or someone else asking you to fix them beforehand).

      Topic Rules

      • All top-level comments must be ballots and ballots only.
      • Child comments can be anything -- feel free to talk about why you chose what you did.

      Voting Process

      • Each person has 20 votes to distribute among games as they see fit.
      • Each person can allocate a maximum of 5 points per Single Game/Arcade Special.
      • Arcade Specials count as one block (do not vote for each game in them individually).
      • Voting closes 96 hours (4 days) from the posting of this topic. Voting has been extended as a result of rule changes. It will now close in 48 hours from the time of this comment.

      Protal 3 (7)
      Wand of Gamelon (5)

      Voting Outcomes

      • The top 6 games/Arcade Specials will become the next 6 months of CGA (or more in case of a tie).
      • Of the remaining games, the bottom 50% will be cut from the list.
      • The remaining 50% will stay on the list and will enter the next voting round starting at their current point totals instead of 0.

      Decided I wanted to try vibe-coding some stuff. It's been a very long time since I coded anything, and it was all very amateurish, but as the tooling has become better I wanted to give a shot at some silly ideas. Got tired of writing about random teaching and AI related stuff, decided I wanted to build some more stuff to get more acquainted with agentic tooling.

      I have gathered some sparse links here and there, but I was hoping the community here may know of some more "definitive" guides. My plan is to use Claude Code, but if people want to share guides for other coding agents (Codex, etc.) please feel free.

      Very interested in iOS app development if that helps, but I feel that best practices can likely look very similar across platforms and tools.
