This would be cool if it linked with Pocket. I like to book mark articles for later viewing on desktop.

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, but I think this might work even better as a tool on top of pocket. Given the interest this is getting + the other conversation about bookmarks I might take on the Pocket+ thing next.

Thanks for checking it out!

So this tool emails NEW content/articles from the saved bookmarks? Sort of RSS in newsletter form. Pretty cool idea.

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.

hmm. it is not something i would use as person. but i would prefer to use this one as SaaS. Something like, some people are using my mobile app, getting interested with some products, i would popup and ask them "do you want me to email you the links, so you can better see the products later in your desktop"

I think reminding ourselves of old things can be quite a good thing in some cases. I think your idea is a _really_ cool idea.

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 daily. That, combined me with my love of newsletters, led me to create linkdrop. Thanks for checking it out!

Cool idea! Do you think you could extend the intervals it sends out emails? I, for one, would really appreciate being able to have a weekly digest of links that I could check out on the weekend instead of a daily email.

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 can do to add this, maybe even just a hard coded "Send this only on Friday."

Thanks for checking it out!

Nice Idea. I'm using Zotero with the FF addon as a bookmarker and subscribed to the RSS-feed in telegram via bot. This way everyone in my workgroup gets notified about new bookmarks.
