I've done a fair bit of web dev work in Python but I am currently building my startup (https://www.growthmetrics.io) in Go.

It is in the initial stages, but so far it has been pretty good - both as a learning experience and from a developer productivity perspective.

I've also open sourced a web app boilerplate that I extracted from GrowthMetrics' codebase - https://github.com/olliecoleman/alloy. It might be useful for people looking to get started with Go.

Not a full blown framework, but Chi works pretty well - https://github.com/go-chi/chi

I am using Chi in several projects running in large production environments.

Here's something that has worked for me - before bookmarking, decide if the article is something you need in the immediate future (within the next couple of days) or is it something that you might need to refer to at some later date.

If it is something you need now, email yourself that article [1], send it to your kindle [2] or save it to a separate board on Trello. Delete it once you are done with it.

For the second case, use an app like Pocket or Instapaper [3].

I hear you.

I used Pinboard a couple of years ago but stopped using it in favor of Pocket (I can't seem to recollect the exact reason why). Pocket is great for things that I want to save for later. I have cached copies of webpages in my Pocket that are no longer online, so that is pretty neat.

Lately I've noticed that Pocket has become like a cold storage for me. I rarely ever go back to reading the bookmarks from it. I recently found a bookmarklet [1] on PH that works like Pocket but sends the bookmarks to your email instead of sending it another app. It has been working pretty well for me so far. I've been using it to send myself an email for stuff that I want to read in the near future (within the next couple of days or so) and use Pocket for saving links that I might need at some later date.

But discoverability is still an issue, I am yet to find a decent solution that can help me find new things based on my interests.

I've discovered that the missing link for me was getting the articles onto my Kindle. I now read between 100-150 articles a month this way, previously I would read only 10-30 articles in a month.

I use Wallabag, an open source alternative to Pocket. It generates an RSS feed which Calibre can read, download, and send to the e-reader. Pocket should do the same thing. Once a week or so I go through and mark articles as read, then open up Calibre to re-download the fresh feed.

One weird trick (heh) that has become really useful is reversing the RSS feed. So I receive two 'e-books' on my Kindle, one with new articles and one with old articles. This satisfies me, since I'm often wanting to read some new articles ASAP, while also working my way through the backlog.

Calibre lets you script the feed processing in Python. With Wallabag the feed is also paginated, so you could accomplish nearly the same thing by selecting a higher page number. Not sure if Pocket does that.

Came here to also suggest wallabag. Getting running on your own host is dead simple (just a few 'apt-get's and a 'make' script) and the community has made apps for just about every platform. Also, as a limited-vision reader, the accessibility options are really well done!

I was looking for a pocket replacement due to privacy concerns and an ever growing annoyance with ads. Wallabag has a Pocket importer and the rss feeds are a really nice touch! I even put up a parser on my website to show people my starred articles: http://desandoval.net/i-am

I'll try the ebook trick. That is a really good idea! I was looking for a reason to pull out my old B&N Nook again ;)

It is written in Go (Golang).

stick the executible on the server with nginx in front of it for the easiest setup.

Thanks for your work on porting Semantic UI to React. I've used it in an internal application and it was a breeze to work with.

I use bookmarks a lot and I also like Chrome's handy way of managing bookmarks into folders. I just wish there were better keyboard shortcuts for creating bookmarks and automatically sending them to specific folders (e.g: Cmd + D + T will send it to 'Tech' folder).

Regarding linkrot, I think Pocket or Instapaper will solve that for your because they copy the underlying content from the page.

Inbound is a great community for SEO related discussions - https://inbound.org

How are you monetising it? Is it a paid app (upfront/in-app purchase)?

I opted for in-app because then I won't have to manage two releases on play store. (demo/free app and paid app)

Yes, I've also had a good experience with Paddle. It is easy to setup and also handles VAT/taxes.
