Horrible name for this type of product.

That being said, the ONE feature I want from a "better bookmark manager" is some sort of natural language processing feature. I want the manager to scan the page in question, add the relevant tags, and categorize it AUTOMATICALLY. This is the one killer feature that would actually get me to pay real money to support the product.

All of these alternate bookmark managers seem to only be unique in the UI, not in the backend. Syncing across multiple-browsers is commonplace, and nowadays a given. Give me something to really make my life easier, such as automatic categorization.

I want this because I have upwards of 200-500 bookmarks at any given moment that are not categorized. The all sit in one giant list. I like to hit Ctrl-D and save. Later, when I get the time, usually on weekends, I'll try to go through the list and categorize and add tags. I like the way Chrome and Firefox's interface for bookmarks work, I don't want to change them. I would like however an end to the tedium of actually figuring out where a particular URL sits in my mind-map.

Wow - this looks really really awesome - I've been looking for the ideal bookmark management tool for what seems like forever but nothing seems to feel quite right - from what I've seen so far this looks to hit closest to the mark for me - great work!

Any idea when beta invites might start going out? Chomping at the bit to give it a try!

EDIT: Just saw the invite code below - thanks!

OP: I think this is great. I've been looking for something lightweight that will keep my bookmarks better grouped and organized almost like an enhanced bookmarks bar without cluttering me with features. At first glance this seems like a real solution to that problem, and it seems to do it with good design in mind. I signed up and I'm going to give it an honest try before making any judgments on it. HN: the negativity…

"Theres a video that tells you exactly what the product offers in under a minute."

and a single sentence would have taken 5 seconds. the video is extremely light on content, not even screenshots, but cartoonish nonsense.

I like this, but would love it if it would just take all the bookmarks i currently have synced in my Chrome and let me manage it that way. Will be watching this product for its future updates.

This looks pretty cool, I'm a happy Pinboard user but my bookmarks toolbar is still full of stuff I want to check later on but don't want clutter up my Pinboard with. I was able to sign up and install the Chrome extension, but clicking the extension's button on my toolbar does nothing. No login dialog or anything, nothing at all happens. Then I tried to see if I could play with the web interface, but there's no link to login on the home page. So I went to the signup page, guessed the login URL from there, and was finally able to log in. The interface is nice, if a little finicky. Deleting items and collections is not intuitive, overriding right-click in a web app is awkward. There's also no hover indicator when you're dragging a link onto a collection, so if you miss somehow Chrome redirects the tab to the URL you just dropped onto the page. These problems aside, I like the idea behind it and I hope you keep plugging away at it.
