In September, I left my job at Dropbox and moved to Sacramento to work on my social bookmarking app full time. It's called Vested Yeti, and a user described it as "Pinterest without the Uggs." It helps you organize and share web pages.

I realize I haven't been an active member of HN, but I'm really hoping the HN community can help me out - I desperately need feedback and help identifying the best use cases.

Any feedback is welcome, and I'll try to answer any questions. Thanks in advance!

Interesting that it's Pinterest-like! I'll check out the user experience. Does it support documents?

Thanks! Looking forward to it. No, it doesn't right now. You can link to just about anything (e.g., Google Doc or hosted PDF), but no way to upload a document.

This is a really cool tool! I’m always emailing myself stuff I want to look at/read later, and I invariably forget about it. This is such a good way to keep track of those things!
