Hello HN, I am building a app to deep search bookmarks from browser, X etc. - do you folks bookmark often? - are you able to retrieve things when needed? - How about x/twitter bookmarks?

It sounds like you yet have any code or design docs to share, correct?

Have you looked at existing 3rd party bookmark management apps and documented their major pros/cons? That would likely be a very good place to start.

Releasing is often the best way to get feedback. [0]

Though I can imagine what you are describing, what I imagine is not what you are describing.

Incidentally, I am not in your target audience. I don't care about my bookmarks, I don't use x, etc.

[0] No feedback is also feedback for a released tool.

I don't do X bookmarks specifically but it would be nice to specifically search the pages I've visited or bookmarked. Especially to find pages that "I remember seeing the other day"
