I agree that I'm stretching it here - personal directories are my personal niche and definitely something that I'm seeing everywhere - even in this little link-sharing tool. But I figure that I'll put the thought out there and people can agree or disagree. Glad for you to voice your disagreement - I may need to tone it down.

It’s a fine line and I apologize if I was being harsh. I’m not speaking for the original author, but from my own experience, getting to the front page of HN is very difficult, and I’ve noticed a fair few people (not blaming you) who have been advertising their own products on somebody else’s post. It’s sort of like gaming the system. It’s not fair to the original author since the conversation can get sidetracked from…

Ok you’ve convinced me - thank you for taking the time to explain in detail! At least on Show HN posts, I now see that this is rude. Apologies to the original author and thank you for the helpful tone.

Yeah its not that bad, here is a simple bookmarklet example that grabs current url and posts it to your endpoint (mailephant in this case). Might be a good first step. javascript:q=location.href;if(document.getSelection)%7Bd=document.getSelection(); %7Delse%7Bd='';%7D;p=document.title;void(open('https://mailephant.email/views/curate.html? showtags=yes&url='+encodeURIComponent(q)+'&description='+encodeURIComponent(d)+…

You just save that as a new bookmark after updated your endpoint and you can gather that data quickly.

Hello! This thread is no longer on the front page, but just to keep the few people still passing by, I finally created a browser extension! It completes the site :)

I'll send it to Google for Chrome as well
