estesbubba Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I use Pcoket to save off pages from the internet and you can organize by tags like “woodworking” https://getpocket.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick S Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I use Evernote for saving things like that. They have apps for all platforms and you have the option of saving a page, a post or a clip, etc. I have almost 2000 woodworking related "notes" I've saved over the years. Notes are completely searchable, you can tag topics, mark them up, etc. One feature I use a lot is photographing a handwritten note and uploading it to Evernote. The program then scans the note (OCR) and reads the handwriting, making it searchable, assuming you're not in the medical profession. I skipped over conventional 8 track and went straight from vinyl to quadrophonic 8 track. I believe I amassed about 4 tapes. They sounded awesome in my 1947 Wyllis CJ2A! Great acoustics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) +1 for @Mick S recommendation. The search function in Evernote is very good. You can “tag” notes with different keywords to make it easier to find exactly what you are looking for. If you have the Evernote app on a smartphone or tablet, you can take pictures and save them directly into a note. If I see a piece of furniture I like the design of, I’ll take several pictures of it and save it to Evernote. I’ll also take pictures of articles in FWW. They may have improved it, but as of a couple years ago the handwriting OCR that Mick mentioned was far better on Mac than on Windows (confirmed by Evernote techs).

wtnhighlander Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Google's Keep application does much of what Evernote can do. A few features work differently in the mobile app than the desktop browser, but it is another no-cost alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 You can save bookmarks as a shortcut on a widows system. Then you just store them as you would any old file. So like a bookmark but you can move them around easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pondhockey Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 I just saved this thread as a pdf file. You might check to see if that's useful to you (it won't help much with enclosed video's etc.) The system doesn't let me upload a pdf file, so I don't know how to demonstrate.

The URL changes to the threads? I thought those stayed static? I just copy the URL and put it in the location for a shortcut. Create a shortcut by right clicking and go to new and shortcut. Then i'd just organize them in folders on a flash drive. This way any browser changes or updates won't wipe out the shortcuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 I doubt the URL will change, but the thread could be deleted. The main benefit to using Evernote, OneNote, or similar is the search function. If you are only saving a few threads, it's easy to find what you are looking for. But if you end up with dozens or hundreds of WTO threads, blog posts, and other articles/pages, it can become necessary to be able to search for certain terms to quickly find what you are looking for. The downside to using those is that if more info is added to the thread, you have to manually add or remake your saved note to include the new replies. Just depends on how much/what type of info you are saving and how you are using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
