Best Practices
Use Descriptive Tags
Tags are your primary organization tool. Use consistent, descriptive tags like "tutorial", "reference", "inspiration" rather than vague tags like "important" or "todo".
Add Context in Descriptions
Future you will thank present you! Add notes about why you saved something or what's useful about it.
Be Searchable
Use keywords you'll actually search for. Think about how you'll try to find this bookmark later.
