Over the weekend I built a little app to simplify selling on craigslist. It essentially turns your listing into an auction, tracks views and handles all of the inbound e-mails. All you have to do is accept the best offer(s) if you decide to accept any at all.

#52I'm working on a tool that helps you find the webpages you've previously come across.
This is primarily done by showing large screenshots with each bookmark.
I plan to add a variety of page-browsing tools to help you find that page quickly (from color palettes to cover-flow-esq flow).

#53I'm building an interpreter inspired by interactive fictions (IF) by infocom. The goal is to be able to generate your css/less (including a generated styleguide) and HTML page skeleton just by writing plain english. Here is an example : "btn can be a button element" "btn can be a anchor element" "large-button is a kind of btn" "large-button color is black" "large-button background-color is lighten(black, 10%)" I'm st…

#56I'm working on step 2 of a naming company (we create names for new startups and products). The plan is to offer a package with a name, logo, and business card, so I'm working on my logo design skills and bringing in some more designers. Also, I'm building an copy editing service that's more transparent and straightforward. Most editors have complicated pricing schemes that vary depending on the topic, document type a…
I have to ask: Does your naming company have a name?

I've been using Folindux for awhile now, and it's super useful for collecting inspiration websites. I did, at one time, have a Tumblr that did this, but this works so much better with the bookmarklet. It still has plenty of room to grow, and I'm excited to see where it goes from here.

If you could do that well, that would be amazing. There was a post years ago from a Mozilla intern on "Lifestream." It's a little bit like your idea, but I've wanted this for so long. Still haven't figured out how to do this, so I shall wait to see how yours turns out instead.
Take a look: http://weizhou.wordpress.com/2008/07/07/prototype/
I personally think some of the ideas there are amazing. I attempted to contact the intern on whether there was any work still being done in this area, but received no response. I really hope someone can create a browser extension, or perhaps that Mozilla might still consider implementing this.
I currently have an obsessively organized library of bookmarks, which still fails me at times.
Edit: Is there any way to organize bookmarks within folders on your website? I see it is not possible in the bookmarklet.
