Products that do what Urligram – Social Bookmarking Platform does
Hi all! We are a tiny team of two that enjoyed using del.icio.us back in the day. It was a simple and efficient tool for two things: saving urls for later, and browsing the web thanks to the tags and some other basic features. So we wondered about rebuilding it. Its been quite a ride, but we finally have a streamlined version of what we are looking for. This is www.urligram.com: a prototype for a new social bookmarking platform. We have been using it for some time, and while there is a lot of work to be done yet, we think it is stable enough to be useful. Currently you will be able to save…

Recently i stumbled on too many clickgates on the Medium blog Towards Data science. Considering that most people publish to share knowledge on Medium and are driven into putting their content behind a paywall, without actually getting paid for it, including myself. I felt like Medium is running the academic publishing scheme. Get free content and get paid for it. So I decided to create a small script to bypass the paywall on Medium, it turns out it also works on other newssites. Heres the website: https://sugoidesune.github.io/readium/ For the curious I will explain the…

Hey HN community, there are a couple of websites I visit on a daily basis. I type the first two oder three characters of the url and the autocomplete feature of my browser does the rest. That is also how I procrastinate. It happens that i visit the same website over and over again without that there is really new content on that site. Or on the other side it happens that I forget to visit a certain site for some days. To address all this I build the following website: https://everyday-favs.com The idea is: you have one personal link (1) and define a list of websites and how often…

After 18 months of tinkering and iterating, we want to show you our Memex: An open-source browser extension to effortlessly organise your web-research. We'd love to know what you think :) Check it out at https://worldbrain.io/hn Memex features: - Instantly find websites you visited with the fuzzy memories you have about them, instead of bookmarking everything or keeping dozens of open tabs. Search for every word of every website you’ve seen, and filter by time, domain, custom tags or bookmarks. - Add your thoughts to websites via comments & annotations, directly in the browser…

It's an app for bookmarking webpages you want to remember. Just use bookmarklet to take screenshots whenever you want to bookmark a site. I made this because I'm sick of text based bookmarking websites like Delicious and Pinboard. I'll always bookmark a site and try and find it later, but because it's all text/tag based I'll have forgotten what the site is about, but I'll remember what it looks like. There's a laundry list of things I'm going to add to the site, so know it's really minimal right now. Would appreciate any feedback you have :)

Inspired by the following post by photon_off... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1683309 I made karmurl last night. It's a simple app where you submit a URL for feedback, then for every piece of feedback you give to someone else's, you get to read one piece of feedback for yours. http://karmurl.com

One year ago, I downloaded the news.arc code and decided that I would teach myself programming by building a better aggregator. At that time, I had some rudimentary HTML knowledge, and little FORTRAN under my belt. I knew that I wanted an aggregator that could support a wide range of submissions, and one that could scale without losing quality for the user. Hubski is what I have to show for my time and effort. The easiest way to describe Hubski is to say that it uses a commenting system akin to HN or Reddit, but uses a sharing scheme like Twitter. You have a personal feed comprised of the…

(Musk might not be thrilled about this, but here goes nothing!) I use Twitter Bookmarks a ton having bookmarked hundreds of tweets over the years ... all saved with the hope of revisiting them eventually. Sound familiar? It's fine if these were random tweets, but they're not. They're the cream of the crop, meticulously selected by me. Ironically, they just end up neglected in the bookmarks tab. So that's why I built Twitter Bookmarks: - Auto-categorizes your saved tweets - Search tweets by any category you like (think Bootstrapping, Fundraising, and more) - Export to CSV/JSON Just…

I recently finished the Front-End Web Development program at General Assembly in San Francisco. My final project turned out being a quick, easy, and free way to convert a Tweet into various properly formatted citations.

My partner and I are avid users of Delicious/Pinboard and wanted a quick way to add to and access our stored bookmarks. We created a Chrome extension to scratch that itch. It shows your ten most-recent bookmarks by default, with a fast search interface to find older bookmarks, and keyboard shortcuts for navigation. We plan to add pagination in an upcoming release, and have considered adding support for Safari as well as alternate bookmarking backends. The (mostly CoffeeScript) source is up on GitHub, and may be interesting as an example of caching Backbone Collections in localStorage or…

Hi! Long time reader, first time submitter. I've finallllyy got my first webapp online. It's been a long time coming, I started it over a year ago and just been an hour here, a couple of hours here, and a period of a couple of months of nothing. I first wrote it as a way to learn some python it sort of grew to fill a need I had. It's at a point now where I'd LOVE some feedback as I am going round in circules. Please, it's free, just hit the home page, plugin in a name/email and url you want to links checked on. If you use the name 'DeleteMe' I will remove the account after a week, so feel…

Hey Everyone, So this was a weekend project that I did basically as a favor to a friend of mine who is a writer. This friend wanted a simple way to publish his short stories on the web that gave him a short url for tweeting and had no associated branding with the published work. Essentially this is what I have done here with publ.ca . My question is that I want to know where I should take this project in terms of features. Possible extensions to this project are: - automatic tweeting when publishing - custom layouts and designs - markdown rendering - user accounts ( FB connect or Google…

Hello. :) I've noticed for the last few years it feels like everyone has been saying the same thing, that social media got baaad, timelines feel hostile, nothing you see is actually from people you chose to follow, and every platform seems optimized for outrage, screenshots, and engagement bait rather than the original microblog ideas of the early 2010s I miss the 2010 social styles, where you have to share your @name with a friend IRL because search wasn't really search... A place where you followed people, saw what they wrote, stumbled into interesting discussions, and hashtags meant…

http://www.anomarks.com Hey everyone, I don't know about you, but my bookmarks somehow always get lost in weird nested folders that I never bother to organize properly. The stuff I eventually want to refer back to just becomes clutter, and then I can't find that sweet tutorial for photo editing a text logo, doing something cool with CSS, or whatever. I took a look at Google Bookmarks and Delicious, but those two services are so cluttered with excess bullshit that I decided to do it myself. Anomarks stands for anonymous bookmarks. You don't have to sign up or anything. You can just start with…

I am sorry to submit this again, but I feel it didn't get its share yesterday on HN. So I am giving it one last try. stk8.co allows you to stack several Links or Text and share them under one shortened url. It embeds a preview of the link for common services like youtube, vimeo, amazon, cnn, scribd, etc... It also has a bookmarklet to easily stack links. Feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Here is the link: http://www.wikihowtodo.com I know a lot of geeks share the same dream -- build the next kick-ass todo-list/project management system. So do I. However, as I was quite positive that my web development skill is worse than 99% of developers' in this community, I decided to build something simple, useless but unique. So I built this. Basically it's a Wikihow scraper, nothing more. It gives you a place to store interesting Wikihow articles and yes, they are converted into todo lists. I know this site is not that good, but I still need your guys' feedback. For example, as I am a…

http://web2expo.heroku.com/ I had the opportunity to attend the Web 2.0 Expo earlier this week. While at the event, I was inspired to build out a prototype for a problem I saw with the Twitter stream. The problem is that hash tags are fleeting; Twitter focuses on live results, and we lose track of tweets over time. This was especially true during the Lean Startup Intensive. #leanstartup was great when it was live on Monday, with the results consisting of live tweets of each presenter. However, if we search for the hash tag now, we get a mess of content not specifically tied to that event.…

I made this as a pair programming exercise with o1-preview. o1 did most of the heavy lifting, through high level prompts, but eventually I needed to diverge from it to get to completion. My initial prompt was: --- I'm making a web app: It's like 4chan, but each thread starts with a gps coordinate. People can only post text and images. I want to build it with flask and sqlalchemy. I want just the backend and data model that supports these threads, anonymous users, and users that can register a permanent username. Write as much of it as you can for me. --- This produced a fully scaffolded…

I’ve always liked fast online tools for jotting notes or organizing thoughts — but most “productivity” sites either save data to the cloud, require sign-ups, or are full of distractions. So I built an online productivity tools website, a small collection of browser-based tools. It includes an online notepad where you can write and save notes right in your browser, a cornell notes tool available in more than 20 languages, and more coming soon like a pomodoro timer and a simple blank page for focused writing. Everything works entirely in-browser using localStorage — no accounts, no cloud sync,…

I got tired of the cognitive dissonance involved in reading twitter -- topics kept jumping around. So, i wrote a thingy. Features: - filter by user, list, or regex - each group you filter to has its own "mark as complete" button (so you don't have to read everything in one sitting, but can still be a completionist eventually). - tries to do inline images with a lightbox - tries to be compact - first time users, can have it auto-gen a config fore you - config is a multi-line text block so super-powerful but not UX friendly Drawbacks: - does save your configuration in a db in the cloud so not…
