Hey HN,<p>Often, I come across interesting quotes or tips that are worth saving.<p>I’m lazy, so I needed a way to save them effortlessly – otherwise, I would forget or procrastinate.<p>I also wanted a pop out every now and then to remind me of my highlights, so I don’t have to manually check the quotes.<p>Then I hacked together a workflow that saves quotes using a shortcut and a cronjob that shows a random quote periodically (every 6 hours).<p>I used this setup for almost two years and it worked perfectly (My saved highlights: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;mhasbini.com&#x2F;highlights.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;mhasbini.com&#x2F;highlights.html</a>).<p>Recently I decided to make the quotes accessible from the menu bar with the ability to easily change configurations and manage the quotes. I worked with a friend who had similar needs and so Quoter was born.<p>It just works and doesn’t get in your way. It’s configurable and lightweight (~3 MB compressed and have small footprint).<p>Hope you like it.
