TLDR: I am making a bookmarking app, what would improve your bookmarking experience?<p>I am currently working on a product to improve the bookmarking experience on the internet. I surf the web almost every day and come across interesting articles all the time. I don't always have time to read them or want to come back to them later, so I then bookmark them. However, this often results in me forgetting about them or not finding them because I don't remember in which browser and on what device I bookmarked the link.<p>Therefore I started making my own bookmarking app. It will have
- import and export (JSON, CSV, markdown, txt)
- web/native app
- suggest three random bookmarks to remind the user about them
- extension for frictionless bookmarking
- extension that shows your bookmarks that relate to a google search
- notes to remember ideas
- folders and share folders (collaborative bookmarking)
- categories to enable a broader search if the bookmark title is forgotten
- download the site to prevent link rotting<p>Would you use an app like this and what other features would you wish for?
Honestly I wouldn't. Even if I did, there are many options for this already. I would prefer one of the long-time existing solutions (Pocket, Instapaper etc) over a brand new one.<p>I would encourage you to look past bookmarks. Aside from "I'll read this later", they are pretty useless<p>> extension that shows your bookmarks that relate to a google search<p>I think this is a good lead.. how/if you could monetize it is a different story though

But it should solve the "bookmarks going into abyss" problem
