In plain words

Geekmarks is a free, open-source bookmarking service designed for developers and technical users.

Hi everyone! So I wrote a new bookmarking service: Geekmarks , it's free and open-source ( GitHub ). We already have a lot of bookmarking services, so why bother writing another one? Good question. I tried a lot of existing bookmarking services, and I wasn't satisfied by any of them, for a variety of reasons. Let me elaborate on the organization part first. The simplest way to organize bookmarks is to introduce folders to group them. This still poses a well-known problem though: some bookmarks can logically belong to multiple folders. In order to address this issue, some services use tags: now we can tag a bookmark with more than one tag. So far so good. Now, assume I have a…from dmitryfrank.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
