Kippt (YC S12) Launches Bookmarking App To Become The GitHub For Links

We know about few third party clients that are build on top of our API. Hopefully they will be released soon as we would also like to use them (still quite busy with the site).

The UI is very very slick, saw them a few weeks back featured as one of the twitter bootstrap example apps. Reminds me of the warm fuzzy feeling I got when I first used Path.

I especially like the introduction flow for connecting accounts (fb, twitter) and the call to action to install the browser extension in the end.

kudos.

Nice use of bootstrap, but modifying it on the homepage as well. Great design.

I see there's a wide range of import options, is or will there be a way to export bookmarks too?

We have a export feature for regular bookmark file format as well as full API so you can access all of your data.

This could be popular with readers of text erotica. See, for example, the Pinboard spikes when delicious changed.

I think it's a cool idea. It could be really useful for some things I do. I'm glad to know about it.

I have no freaking idea what you mean when you say "The github for links" - and the people I'd want to use this with will never have heard of github.

Yup this is a really good example. Only thing I didn't understand was I signed up with FB so I had a verified e-mail address, yet they asked me to put one in - the default of my FB one would have been a little bit better
