Do you use the stuff you save online?


Do you use the stuff you save online?

Over the years I have saved thousands of links: articles, papers, tutorials. Bookmarks, open tabs, Notion, Raindrop, Pocket... I have tried them all.

The pattern is always the same: I collect with good intentions, but very little of it ever resurfaces when I need it. Even when I revisit something, I often forget what I got from it or why I saved it in the first place.

It feels like there is a gap between saving information and actually using it.

Curious how others handle this. Do you have a system? Weekly reviews? Tagging setups? Something custom? Or is the pile just inevitable?

I started building a small tool to explore this problem: a mix of a structured reading queue, bookmarks, and a searchable AI assistant. Still early, but testing it here: [https://snaplinks.ai](https://snaplinks.ai/)

Would love to hear how others think about this.

Is this a problem you have tried to solve?
