    I regularly chat with folks running competitors to my business. It's a fairly niche space so there's not many people who understand what we're dealing with day to day. I remove the…

    Hey I built https://www.linkdrop.co/ about 6 months ago to solve exactly that problem. Linkdrop doesn't have any unread article lists. When you "save" an article, it queues it up t…

    I posted about an extension I built to help me manage my bookmarks yesterday. It sends you an email of all the bookmarks you make for that day at the end of a day (similar to a new…

    Cool - I'll check out how portable the code from chrome extension to firefox/safari extension is. This could be a quick work around if needed. Thanks!

    Hey thanks! I've never seen mailist before. I probably wouldn't have built this if I had haha.

    Ugh thank you for catching that. Will fix in the next push.

    Interesting, the default behavior is for it to carry over but I thought that was weird so I clear the inputs when you switch between the two. I can see how that is annoying since t…

    Hmm that's interesting. I'm not very familiar with bookmarklets. Could I sync and persist a uid so that I can store the bookmarks per user?

    If I had known the response this would get I wouldn't have launched without it! I'll look into it over the next couple weeks. :)

    Yeah I probably need to redo the landing page. There are a few more example screenshots on the chrome extension page: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/link-drop/bdfpcani..…

    Someone pointed me to this thread today based on a tool that I just built that emails you all the bookmarks you set at the end of the day. You can find it at linkdrop.co.

    I wanted to add that but I didn't have time this weekend. That's actually my biggest feature request from myself :P. I'm super busy over the next couple weeks, but I'll see what I …

    Oh no it actually just sends whatever hte link is that you bookmarked. Sorry for the confusion! What you described is actually a _really_ cool idea though haha.

    My initial plan was to integrate with Pocket (which I love). I have some ideas for how that would be done. Building this was more about learning how to build a chrome extension, bu…

    Hi HN - I built this to satisfy a personal itch and learn more about chrome extensions. I always felt like I would set and forget bookmarks so I wanted a way to be reminded of them…

    I sometimes throw a quieter stream on in the background. It makes me feel like I'm in an office space when I'm coding by myself which sometimes helps me focus. I never usually have…
