Show HN: I built a better way to bookmark, read news, blog or any internet texts

With new bookmark managers for some reason they're usually a website, and no matter how good the design choices are, I just won't use it. Not because it's not amazing, but because not integrating it into the browser makes my life more difficult. Not a critique of your product, just an opinion.

What do you think about turning it into a chrome extension? How does it / will differentiate from already existing products?

Yeah, I was planning to create the chrome extension, for now the simplest way to bookmark a links is to use bookmarklet.

I think the difference with other product is that this product is focusing on reading the content, so for example if I want to read a news and there are a lot of ads we can get rid of it, and we no longer need to visit that website directly you can read it in readclip.

My simple solution for this is that you can just use bookmarklet I think. https://readclip.ahmadrosid.com/#how-to

That improves only the storing part of the UI, not the accessing data part. And you can still not define keyboard shortcuts.
