Show HN Browser extension Snooze lets you put off tabs for later

Love it! it's a chrome pain-killer ;)

I find myself comparing this to Pocket, which I tend to use to queue content for later in much the same way that it seems Snooze is made to support. What Pocket offers over this is a cleaned up page of text to read, but what Snooze seems to offer is bringing things back to the forefront automatically.

I've debated where to go from here in my thoughts, and I think the issue I'm struggling with is that the use cases seem different. When I think about "snoozing" something (e.g. Google Inbox, a conventional alarm clock, etc.) I find that the common denominator is that someone or something else is on the other side waiting on me. If nobody was expecting me in lab, I'd come in whenever I woke up naturally (and I do). Similarly, I snooze an email in Inbox (when I do) because someone's on the other end waiting (with some variable amount of urgency) for my reply. A silent "deal with these later" folder would become a black hole, or at least would have a molasses-slow turnaround time.

Given this preconception, I'm not entirely convinced that "snoozing" is the right solution to the problem I'm assuming you're trying to solve (ie trying to help people keep track of and get through all the cool stuff they see on the Internet, right?). Instead, you kind of want to find the gaps in people's time and fill it with the right article for that stretch of time (which is difficult to do for myriad reasons).

I think something along these lines that would be interesting would be an extension that prompted you to catch up on your queue after a few minutes of browsing unproductive sites (e.g. Facebook, HN, Youtube). Even better, if the user could give it a list of sites and say "if I'm browsing any of these sites for more than 5 minutes, please remind me that I have a queue of webpages I wanted to read."

These are just initial thoughts, and I apologize if it's overly critical. I like the idea, and there's a lot of potential here. It's also entirely possible I'm just flat out wrong (and if someone has different experiences or insights that conflict with mine, I'd love to hear it).

Please bring it to Firefox.
