This is a total tangent but I wonder if there is something like a bookmark on HN. I would like to save this link so I can read it later. I could upvote it which seems wrong as it has a social component but then I could see it in my upvotes later. I could favorite it but then it would appear to someone else looking at my favorites that I really loved the article when I haven’t even read it yet. I will take that option so I can see it later because it seems like the lesser of two evils. But I would love to see a reading list or something. (I am the kind of guy who was 500 browser tabs open at a time lol)


I just use favorites as saved articles. Who cares what anyone thinks?


But, but, all three people who look at my favorites will misunderstand me!


Maybe not - perhaps they're doing the same thing!

Myself, I also use favorites as bookmarks on HN. And stars as bookmarks on GitHub (hence I'm always perplexed why people care about star count - for me, "starring" a repo doesn't mean I use it, or even like it; it just means I want to look at it again, somewhen, for some reason).


I do the same exact thing. It seems too useful to waste on only my favorite things.


If you use an iPhone, explore the “Hacker Feed” app, which gives you this exact feature


Thanks - I do!
