Great site and there are also other quite helpful suggestions in the thread such as Icomoon.

Problem is that the next time I need SVG icons I will forget these sites, try to google them and ending up on those sites that perform well on Google's SERPs but want money for clean SVGs.

This happened to me two days ago and I just fired up Inkscape and remade those icons. However, this took too long.

How can I remember such sites the next time I need them?



I've started tagging my bookmarks, by simply adding a bunch of words that I associate with a page behind the bookmark name in parentheses. So for example, I might add "(open source svg icon fonts font set)" behind the bookmark name for this.

9 out of 10 times I can easily find the bookmark I'm looking for, by entering a few of those words into my bookmark search and/or address bar, and it doesn't require any special extensions or services.


I use Chrome, predominantly. At least, for my bookmark library. When you save a bookmark in Chrome, it defaults to using the page title as the bookmark description.

I have started renaming the bookmarks - I leave the relevant part of the title (removing irrelevant stuff like brands, brand descriptions etc.) and then I add a set of keywords I associate with the link.

Later, when I want to find it, and call I can remember are some words I associate with the link, I type them in Chrome's search bar and it usually ends up matching at least 1 or 2 that I picked for the title, so Chrome finds the bookmark.

It is not a flawless system but it is effectively bookmark tagging without any additional tools. It's also based on how I associate the memory, and not on whatever random (and usually useless SEO-based text) the page creator decided to use for the title; which means that recalling the link is alot more straightforward because the way we hook memories tends to be really consistent.


Start organizing your resources in bookmark folders!


I use Evernote webclipper. You can tag the bookmarks and find them later.


Favorites?


i use pinboard for this.
