Show HN: Refind – The home for the best links on the web

We’re building Refind, a community of founders, hackers, and designers who collect and share the best links on the web. It’s super early but we’re on Product Hunt today and we don’t want to miss the opportunity to reach out to HN too! Founders, hackers, and designers are the audience we had in mind when building this so we’d really love to know what you think!

HOW IT WORKS Save great links that will come in handy in the future. Discover what others save. And then find everything again when you really need it – for example when you later search for this topic on Google, Refind highlights links you or your friends saved (optional).

DELICIOUS? Delicious pioneered social bookmarking in 2003. We’re trying to take up on where they left off. And here’s how we believe Refind fits into today’s landscape: https://refind.com/home#difference

READ LATER? Refind is complementary to Instapaper or Pocket: Read Later is a reading list, Refind is an archive. Read Later is todo, Refind is fire and forget. Here’s how we see and use the two in combination (with the example of Pocket): https://medium.com/@refind/refind-pocket-a0ecb08de814

WHY? Here’s why we’re building this: https://medium.com/@refind/this-is-why-we-re-building-refind-7e7229bee370

We really hope you like it! Again, it’s super early but we’re going to work on this for a very long time so we’d love to know what you think! I’ll be around here and you can also reach me on Twitter (https://twitter.com/dominikg) or at dominik@refind.com.

Thanks a lot, Dominik (Founder)

I am a user for a while now and Refind has become part of my routine.

The biggest part for me is not the repository of knowledge that I am building though - is is the social aspects of the product. A new tab extension allows me to see the links stored by people I follow and the quality of those links has been very high - although I have to be diligent with unfollowing noisy people that do not fit my interest spectrum. The Refind stream has drastically reduced my Twitter usage as I just get my daily dose of inspiring articles and content there.

Really helpful. If you want to refind use refind. Love it!

To be honest, I'm a little bit overwhelmed by all the bookmarking services, but Refind is surprisingly different! Because all Refind users bookmark for themselves in the first place, the stream of links is very relevant to me and contains a lot of gems.

How does the filtering work? I have to admit that I have not 'gotten' Refind so far but that might change with some help!
