I tend to get my links from three sources: [my feed subscriptions](https://sources.werd.io), links I find on social media (particularly using Twitter Blue’s excellent “top articles from people you follow” feature), and stuff that people send me directly.

If I read something and find it particularly interesting, I’ll save it to a [Notion](https://notion.so) database I’ve got set up. Mostly I do this because the [Notion web clipper](https://www.notion.so/web-clipper) and iOS app makes life really easy for me.

Then the bookmarks get synced in a few different ways:

- To my website using [Micropub](https://indieweb.org/Micropub)
- To [Buffer](https://buffer.com) for scheduled sending to Twitter

The sync itself is via [Zapier](https://zapier.com) right now, but when I get time I’ll replace with my own script.

I used to post directly to Twitter, but I realized that there’s no need to post there at the same time I save to my site. Because I tend to read my feeds in batches, Buffer helps me avoid posting floods of links to my Twitter account at once. It also gives me a little wiggle room if something goes wrong (eg if the sync accidentally triggers when I’m halfway through writing a description).

At the end of the month, I take my links from the Notion database and use a [simple script](https://github.com/benwerd/notion-links-to-blog-post) to turn them into a formatted post, which I edit in [iA Writer](https://ia.net/writer) before publishing to my site using its micropub feature.

The end result:

- I have a searchable database of my bookmarks
- I reliably share them to my website
- I get to publish a round-up post at the end of the month, which is one of my favorite things

It sounds like a lot, but I really enjoy the process I’ve set up: it’s easy for me, and does everything I need it to.
