It's certainly an interesting approach to bookmarks, though I'm curious as to why the need for a complete backend when much of the functionality appears to implemented via the browser extension. Would it not have been simpler to link in with the existing bookmarking services, including the bookmarking tools built in browser?

Personally I use Pinboard along with this [1] chrome extension, adding bookmarks, tagging, and searching are a breeze.

I'll test it if I can be guaranteed some of these features, not sure if I'm part of the demographic but here it goes: the importation of Google Starred Items, Gmail Starred Items, Chrome Bookmarks, Firefox Bookmarks (by uploading it's HTML file), and Evernote (viewing the url's I've clipped). I mainly want this so that I can organize them (delete, properly name, putting them into different folders, etc) and download them as html.

TL;DR Support data portability and reorganization of other bookmarking services. I've sent this request to the feedly, tinmark, xmarks, and the collections.me team. Nothing.

These are exactly issues I have with the current solutions out there, and it's something I've been thinking about solutions for, so I'm really interested in seeing what you come up with.

On the point about automatic bookmarking, I would almost like everything I view to be bookmarked, and then some cleverness to work out what I actually will come back to.

I also third the requests for cross-device sync. (I'm sure you already know this will be needed at some point, and appreciate it's outside the scope of an initial version.)

Isn't automatic bookmarking basically your browser history?

I have long wanted to see improvements for browser history because this is a data which stays local to you. People have provided bells and whistles to the Bookmarks manager, but there's nothing for Browser History, in fact, it has gotten a bad rep for alleged security concerns.

Looks awesome! Love the search and auto bookmarking idea.

Apart from cross device availability, please make collaboration easier. Many times I bookmark pages for later market research or sharing it with my coworkers. However most services do not address this need. Please look at having a good sharing and collaboration capability

Keep up the great work!

Will put that on the checklist. Didn't actually consider that it could be a needed feature, but I can see a lot of demand for it. So you're right :)

Thanks for the comment!

Really nice idea, specially the search integrated feature, I think that is the key here. Normally I do a lot of conscious bookmarking in several engines (Instapaper, Reading List, browser Bookrmarks, etc).

Wishlist: Safari integration, sync across devices (iPad, iPhone, etc), search all the above bookmarking engines. :)

Thanks!

Safari/Firefox extensions are actually on the way, I just wanted to reach a 0.1 version of the Chrome extension first to see how it goes.

The biggest problem people don't know they have is bookmark synchronization between mobile / desktop.

I find Google Chrome does an amazing job of handling the problem, so the point where the history of the search result drop down box from one will populate in the other.

I'm using Firefox Sync for this. Gotta say I'm pretty happy with it as I can run my own sync server :D /geek

Sounds like a great solution. Tackles most of the issues that I have with what's available. The only thing I'd love to see is bookmarking of invidivual snippets of text / quotes. Looking forward to test it :)

Hey, looks like a good approach on a problem indeed. One tip though... try to eliminate at least half of the copy in your landing page. Add more bold headlines and limit the paragraphs to 2-3 lines max.

Very interesting. If the search functionality was integrated into duckduckgo, then I'd certainly take it for a beta test.

Thanks! DuckDuckGo is definitely on the list :)
