    Comments about Memex as an Alternative to Pinboard

    Memex upended its service in 2021 and is still an alpha-phase web highlighter service with read-later support and basic bookmark tagging. Integration with Chrome desktop is amazing, but mobile is very poor and the organization options are limited to unorganized tags. All links are full text searchable though. Hopefully by late 2022 it might be public ready.

    Because it not only provides the Pinboard features of Google and DuckDuckGo integration, but also full-text search across bookmarks AND browsing history.
