Switched from cluttered bookmarks to a single notes app for saving links. Now I actually find things again.

I used to hoard bookmarks in my browser for years. Thousands of them. It got so bad I couldn't find anything I saved even a week ago. Then my friend at work told me she just pastes links into a plain text note on her phone with a quick tag like "recipes" or "fix-it." I tried it for a month and now I actually remember where my saved stuff is. Has anyone else found a simpler system that beats folders and browser bookmarks?

Bookmarks are the junk drawer of the browser world. I had like 12 folders named "stuff" and "misc" before I gave up entirely. Now I just drop links into a Discord channel that only I can see, makes it way easier to search later. Safe to say my browser toolbar went from looking like a hoarder's paradise to a clean slate.
