Thinng - Instapaper for Products

Hey guys, I was really inspired when I saw the reception to HackerThings yesterday. We built an app over the course of a few weekends that we've been using personally but not had the time to promote, we're growing organically just via word of mouth & referrals currently. Thinng is a place to create visual lists of all the products you might want to buy, or want people to buy for you. So technically you can use it to create your own list of HackerThings or whatever you are into. Install our bookmarklet, use it when you're on a page with the product & save the image with a…

    Hi, I'm a developer and first time i shipped the real product after observing the startups and indie hackers community for years.

However, it required FFmpeg, and as a noob video…

    I kept deleting and redownloading Instagram because I couldn't stop watching Reels but needed the app for DMs. Tried screen time limits, just overrode them. So I built this.

The ongoing work is maintaining the filters. Platforms change their DOM all the time, Instagram obfuscates class names, YouTube restructures…
