Gonna throw my own hat into the ring here and suggest Curabase [1]. This is my project which enjoyed some facetime here on HN earlier this week.

And how is it going? Do people use it?
Between HN and Product Hunt on the same day we took in about 8,000 unique visitors, which resulted in over 350 signups.
Big drop-off since that early traffic spike, but is look like 40% of my traffic is still returning users. So that is interesting...
That traffic spike exposed a few big bugs which we closed this week, and now I'm figuring out next steps (marketing automation, more user acquisition, increasing sharing/virality).
Also, the more users I talk to the more I understand their use cases.
All in all, I'm loving it despite juggling this and my day job :-)
I mostly use it to send things to my phone or to my desktop more easily than spamming my email. Two click sharing between my devices was a godsend.
Certain contexts make better reading. Reading long comment chains on my phone can be annoying. It's why I have a monitor in portrait mode: to make long-form articles easier to read.
I usually browse on my phone and send anything I'm actually interested in reading to my desktop. I'll send things from my desktop to my phone if I'm going to be travelling or want to show someone something later (eg: when we meet up for dinner I can show them on my phone)
The main selling point is that you can send links between devices with no need to sign into anything. This was important to me since I'm not a fan of signing into personal accounts on work computers.
I use a facebook conversion with a second facebook account that I created for testing purposes.
It's kind of a hassle, and I probably only follow up on about one out of every ten links I send to myself, so I should probably just stop. (But I won't.)
