I do like to share links @ work, so sounds like I'm the target audience. But this is a near empty landing page, asking for my e-mail with almost no information about what the product is or how it works.<p>It would be nice to get <i>a little</i> more information. Screenshots, descriptions, pricing ... anything. Why would I want to just blindly sign up for something based on one sentence & 3 bullet points?
Our goal was simple: we wanted to share interesting links without constantly being distracted by messages or Slack notifications.<p>Itemsy is a free, shared bookmarking tool. All you have to do is:<p>1. Create an account at app.itemsy.com<p>2. Create a new private channel for your company<p>3. Invite your colleagues<p>4. Add interesting links to the channel (via the web app or by emailing it to share@itemsy.com with the name of your channel in the title)<p>As a result, you and your colleagues receive a daily newsletter with all the links to read, e.g. while commuting. You can also browse them all via the web app.<p>If you have a habit of sharing interesting reads within your team, we'd love for you to try it out!
For this kind of thing Zotero[1] is a better solution. Moreover, it can be self-hosted and open source[2]. They even have a web browser extension (Chrome and Firefox), and a rich set of various plugins [3].<p>[1] <a href="https://zotero.org/" rel="nofollow">https://zotero.org/</a><p>[2] <a href="https://github.com/zotero" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/zotero</a><p>[3] <a href="https://www.zotero.org/support/plugins" rel="nofollow">https://www.zotero.org/support/plugins</a>
Actually I'm doing something similar [1] - but beside sharing links, tiomsu.com allows sharing (markdown) notes as well. There is YT video with brief overview [2].<p>1. <a href="https://tiomsu.com" rel="nofollow">https://tiomsu.com</a><p>2. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx7Ai-PhvAM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx7Ai-PhvAM</a>
This sounds like something that should be built into Slack. Some heuristics could be applied to whether or not a message is really indeed important, and only notify me if that's the case.
So is this designed to mine / crowd source “organic” user data in reading habits and trends for people who can’t keep up with the speed of slack, or store articles and reminders to read them on their own?
