Haters gunna hate, but I like the spirit of the presentation. This is better than a flashy flat one-page design with a lot of color and no substance. It's more personal, and is a unique touch. I know why he created the product, what it does, and how to get it. As for the product itself, I think there's a real need for better bookmark organization that's done well. I'm not sure if this is it, because from the features…

I like the idea of tagging links, it would make looking for bookmarks way easier.

The way I organize my bookmarks. Just remove the title and leave the ico. http://i.imgur.com/WEujxYk.png

Me too (tho I also use folders to group sometimes), but that has nothing to do with the article or the solution to the problem :)

This is for people with more than 30 bookmarks

doesn't chrome have this built in? going a step further, i'd like full text search of every page I've ever visited. bookmarking, even a single click, is a hassle and easily forgetten when grokking many pages in quick succession.

Ctrl+H is halfway there (but no FT search of pages)

Allow me to explain (my) hate. I saw this while browsing from my phone at a coffee shop and thought to myself, "hey, bookmarks are a pain in the ass, let's have a look" The product could be awesome, but it took so long to get to the point that I gave up, and when I did, my history was completely full of worthless slides that it was easier to close the tab than go back. This presentation is a great example of bad desi…

So you're saying it should be designed more like http://www.piku.jp/ then? :-)

Bookmark hell? What about click through stuff hell? Needless to say, 5 clicks through, I gave up. How about a normal link to a normal page explaining your offer?

And has cheek to say: "Cross-platform, cross-browser Works just about everywhere (except Internet Explorer, sorry about that) (Need IE support? Email for a price quote :-))" Meh.

Here's the deal: this is a personal project I wrote for myself (and anyone else who wants to use it).

I decided some time ago that I wasn't going to worry about making stuff work in IE unless I was getting paid for it. In this case, I'm not. It's free (it doesn't even have ads). I don't use IE. I don't even know anyone who uses IE. Even my older non-technical family members use Chrome (or Safari, if they have Macs).

I've spent way too much time working around IE brokenness to want to do it for fun.

Microsoft has had 18 years to fix IE. They still haven't done it. At this stage, it's not my problem (again, unless I'm getting paid).

Sorry.
