The SaveMyStuff logo for saving bookmarks, notes, checklists, and other stuff online.

About SaveMyStuff

SaveMyStuff is an online space for keeping track of your own bookmarks, notes, and checklists. Users can choose whether to share what they keep track of, or to keep those private things private.

The goal of SaveMyStuff is simple: to give users a space online to save the information that is important to them, without sharing that data with big tech companies. We believe the old internet should make a comeback, in that small websites like SaveMyStuff can have meaningful impact and utility for users that choose this path.

Submission Guidelines

  • Cultivate Curiosity Submit articles, news, blogposts, and self-written content that offer something interesting to discuss and share with other interested people. If it makes someone think, "I never thought of it that way," it belongs here.
  • Keep it Insightful SaveMyStuff is intended to be a place for thought-provoking content. Avoid posting articles that appear machine-generated, daily update spam, or formulaic listicles. We value depth over frequency.
  • Substantive Self-Promotion Sharing your own work is encouraged, provided it adds a new perspective to the conversation. If you are only here to "push" a product or project without engaging in the curiosity of the community, this is the wrong place to post it.
  • Ideas Over Individuals Discussions should focus on ideas, companies, policies, markets, and trends. Submissions that serve primarily to attack or deify specific individuals are not allowed; we are here to analyze the work, not the person.
  • High Effort Only To protect the quality of our feeds, we do not allow memes, gifs, image macros, or zero-effort "reaction" posts. This is a safe haven from the deluge of low-quality content found elsewhere.

Commenting Guidelines

  • Discuss Ideas, Not People Focus your energy on the topic of the submission being presented. Personal attacks, snark, and dismissive remarks stifle curiosity and will be removed.
  • Assume Good Intentions Respond to the strongest version of an argument rather than nitpicking minor flaws. If you disagree, do so with reasoning and evidence rather than derision.
  • Stay on Topic Keep discussions relevant to the specific topic at hand. Avoid dragging unrelated political or ideological debates into the thread unless they are directly tied to the subject matter (e.g., specific financial policy).
  • Be Constructive If you find a submission or comment lacking, explain why. "This is wrong" is less helpful than "This is incorrect because..." Good conversation requires a contribution, not just a reaction.
