The Bookmarking Data Model Is Wrong For Highlighting

I feel like the name "bookmark" is overloaded with two very different use cases. There are bookmarks (or even favorites) that you add to your browsers navigation system because you use it frequently. Then there is this other version of bookmark which is to store a reference to something interesting, often with some additional commentary, for possible use later. That second use case really hasn't had a lot of thought put toward it. There is a niche market serviced by bookmarking tools like this, but it is pretty stagnate. I use one of the most well known solutions in that space, Pinboard, to capture and annotate links for the Weekly Thing.

If you liked the ethos and design of Pinboard, but feel like the feature set has not kept up with the competition, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll like Notado. If you’re a hacker who likes to build, Notado also has an extensive and fully documented GraphQL API for you to play with.

I’m going to add a research task to OmniFocus to dig into Notado more to explore this "content first" data model.
