Hoping you don't mind a little shameless plug here, I'd like to talk about likedb: https://github.com/kozmos/likedb It's a bookmarking database that keeps a copy of all your bookmarks in your computer, but automatically syncs to your other devices. Similar to what Chrome and Safari do between your desktop and mobile devices. Although it's built particularly for Kozmos (getkozmos.com), you can build a service that syn…

Is it really necessary to hijack others "Show HN"? These types of posts should be banned.

This is where people working on similar ideas can get together and chat, right ?

I think the opposite - until an hour ago I wasn't aware this category of software even existed. As soon as I learned of it, first thing I wanted to know is what else is out there that solves the same problem and how they compare.

Some projects help you with this by featuring a quick rundown of similar software on their website/repository readme along with links to the repositories. I always appreciate that.

Then create a separate Show HN for it? There's no reason to mention your competing product in someones thread, other than to advertise for it.

I have no problem with piggybacking either. I come to this site for discussion and debate, not product advertising. I'm all for people showing of their ideas and projects, but it should be in the spirit of learning or discussion, not just product shilling.

I specifacally read ShowHN for EXACTLY these comments. HN community is always fantastic at providing alternate approaches.

Full disclosure to start with, I work for the company building this. We launched the latest version of Gurn ( https://gurn.io ) a few months back, it does bookmarks a little differently though. You assign keywords to your URLs, can collect multiple URLs under a single keyword, and sort them into lists. You can then invite others to collaborate on those lists. You can then navigate to them directly through the browser…

Your https fails for me, just fyi. (error pops up saying the connection is not private)

We've fixed this now, thanks for letting us know!
