#2Could someone please build something like that for my local Firefox bookmarks? Make it a gamelike "Discover my bookmarks" or something ;)
Re: Learnings from building reread.io
#3A good read overall, it's interesting to see projects that might not have a huge number of users but does have good engagement levels.
As for the marketing, if someone reached out to me over twitter I'd rather not know that it was something they "built over the weekend". That might sound great for the HN crowd but as a consumer I'd like to know services are solid, stable, reliable and will still be here tomorrow.

Thanks! Didn't expect that "built over the weekend" might send the wrong vibes. True that it doesn't add value in explaining the idea. Will definitely take note.

It works now if you push all your Firefox bookmarks to Pocket. :)

#6Maybe if it supported other services as well it would gain a little more traction? I would love to reread my HN saved links, and as someone else mentioned old bookmarks, or at least find out if I still want to read them again. I guess pocket is a good start, but maybe it could go a bit further?

Yep. Some folks suggested Instapaper too. Personally, I am only on Pocket and hence I started with that.
Where do you store your HN saved links though?

#8This may only be me but I found the color scheme on your site a horrible eye-strain. There's a reason red text is used for error messages.
Re: Learnings from building reread.io
#9>>reread.io is a service which sends you an email containing your forgotten Pocket links (with many config options).
And those emails will either be conveniently ignored or will land in spam folders after a while.
If you don't have the time/discipline/motivation to read a article which is in your pant pocket, reminding you about it is hardly going to help your laziness/lack of motivation.

HN stores them for me, and I thought it had an API, not sure how much the API reveals though...
