If Indie Hackers had bookmarks, what would you use them for?

I would do what most people do:
I'd book mark whatever I find interesting.
Then I'd never look at it again, and tell myself that I would, but not actually take the time to do so.

In addition to what @girishw and @louisswiss mentioned, I find myself wishing I could bookmark posts either because they are great reference/reminder material (like lots of your posts) or because I want to check back and see new comments (like posts where the community is making suggestions for tools, etc).

Also, I was planning on building this into Moon separately so if you build it into the web app first I won't have to worry about a some icky migration / de-dupe issues later on 😅

I'd use them to easily find and reshare comments I found particularly insightful, or discussions I found particularly interesting.

Just today, for example, I wanted to share that piece of "hard but fair" advice you gave to @Janice about a year ago. The one where you explained why you thought she (and another IHer) should be aiming higher and charging more.

I spent ~5min searching for it, but nope - it's lost in the sands of IH time.

Sidenote: Being able to easily do this would increase my participation on IH significantly. I find it mentally/emotionally very hard to keep answering the same few questions week on week. If it were easy for me to jump in and say "hey, here's a similar discussion you'll find useful" then I'd participate more often.

Back when my modem beeped to the internet, IE6 had bookmarks where I could save and categorise any webpage I visited and wanted to return to later.
Just checked, current browsers still do.

I thought of this and Google led me here.

At first, being a new user, I thought I'll have a reference to the posts I upvoted but I can't seem to find that. I guess it is not available

Just wondering, would a stronger search feature like Gmail help in solve the comment searching problem.
from:@csallen to:@Janice text:charge*more upvoted:yes

Hey, just like to say that I found this post by googling whether I could save IH posts. To me, this is a must for a website such as this. It reminds me of a mix between Reddit and Medium specifically for makers. I'd very much love to save discussions for the sake of digging back into them later.

Just wanted to chime in about bookmarking in general because I built a bookmarking app called Prism which lets you save and view screenshots of your bookmarks in a big grid, sort of like Pinterest but for websites. It's more visually engaging, plus it shows you what your bookmarks are without you having to open each one solving the dead bookmarking list. It's free to sign up at www.tryprism.co. Curious to know what you think. Cheers!

yes. that would be wonderful. a neat way to "save" your favorite posts.

Would love a bookmark/ save feature so I could revisit articles and posts I've enjoyed reading. I'm currently printing to PDF and bookmarking the pages.

Curation is so helpful when there's information overload. I want to build my own library of IH posts and bookmarks would help.

YES, YES a big yes. I keep on adding posts to my reading list to read posts later.

I would like to bookmark every interaction I had with some other members regarding the product I'm working on.

And I would like to have a tag mechanism,

----

So, if I end up in comments talking about my product with other indie hacker, i would bookmark that comment, put a tag "Bee Informed". Later I can revisit all those interactions, feedbacks etc

---

option with tags is then universal, I can bookmark something and tag it like - Inspiration, Learning, How-Tos, Tooling etc

Not sure if it fits this topic, but when I click "follow" for some product I can not find any "list page" on the "indiehackers.com" where I can go through interesting products I followed. Would be nice to have that or make it easier to find if it exists :)

What things would you bookmark?

• discussion topics i want to recheck later

Why would you bookmark them?

• because it's hard to keep track, even of topics you're participating in

It will be great to tag/categorize the gems we find along the way. While IH could use it to see what's trending and popular among users and surface them later on in newsletters, etc.

Save valuable advice and content. Save stuff to review later, things that I want to look into but not at the time.

save great posts that I couldn't find in search...

An Indie Hackers Wiki for the common things that come up all the time would be much better than bookmarks. It would be great to have shared community guides on the practical parts of setting up a business, doing sales, user research, marketing, pricing, legal and etc.

There are many bits and pieces of information that are relevant to me but I am not ready to act on yet. Being able to bookmark them so that I can come back to them when I'm ready would be useful. For example, a suggestion for a chat client or a link to a checklist for landing pages.
