Ask HN: How do you save HN posts you have read or want to come back to?

I'd love to have a list automatically saved of HN posts I've read so I can come back to them to share easier. I hate not being able to find a memorable post with HNsearch.com or in my history.


Upvote them. You can see them if you click on your username, and then "saved stories" after that.


For a brief moment in time I thought I could change the URL and see what other users upvoted. What a bummer!


I started using evernote's web clipper to just save all articles, blog posts, etc that I read. Clipping the articles easily stays under the free tier and that way I can easily sift through tags and search to find articles I read in the past. I used to think "Oh, it'll be easy to find with a google search later". Turns out that's not really true, and it's much easier to keep your own searchable archive.


I use the Save-To-Read add-on for Firefox. It bookmarks the page I want to a pre-set folder and then I can click a button when I want to start reading (random or chronological order) or I can just cherry pick from the folder.


I use a bookmarking service (Pinboard) as I do for all pages I consider that I might need to get back to at some point. I also have the Pinboard archival service that saves a copy of the web page in case that goes away.


I have a script that pulls my upvotes from HN and posts them on my bookmarks site tagged "hackernews": http://aaron.pk/bookmarks/


With the browser plugin of http://favtool.com and I add tags 'HN' and 'read later' and eventually more descriptive tags.

I am using Pocket (http://getpocket.com) to do this. And i do this to make my personal reading list.


Evernote Web Clipper, Bookmarks, and http://Archive.Is


Pocket works fine for me. I have it both on browser and android, so no matter what I am doing I can read.


I use getpocket.com
