Show HN: Bookmarks.io - Full text search for your bookmarks (free trial)

I've been using <a href="http://historio.us" rel="nofollow">http://historio.us</a> for quite some time now and really like it. It's basically the same concept.

Great idea. This is the kind of idea that falls into the 'why on earth did I not think of that first' area. Just some comments though. Your call to action is really camouflaged amongst the features. I'd suggest that you relocate your call to action as a huge button where your 'Already have an account?' section is. It could also do with more useful screenshots of the app itself. The app itself confuses me slightly. Your usage of a separate modal kind of threw me off. (I was thinking, is it a downloadable app? A webapp? An extension?) I'm not sure if everyone would agree, but I personally don't need the extra huge window for easy access to websites I commonly use. That never made sense to me. If I commonly use a website, I'll probably already know its URL or name at least. Your app's major value add for me is the ability to search for bookmarks where I KNOW I BOOKMARKED IT but can't seem to find it in the mass of them. Anyway, good job shipping! :) One question though, does the chrome extension automatically sync bookmarks after the first import?

It makes sense to charge for a service like this which keeps a copy of the page. But I wonder if there are services that just rely on Google and do some form of Google custom search on your bookmarked pages.<p>It might be Google comes with such a service already. I was able to do a full text-search of my Google History (<a href="http://www.google.com/psearch" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/psearch</a>), but it didn't work when I tried an old result from my bookmarks.

Cool project. Some questions:<p>Do you store a copy of the page (so you can still see it if the original is deleted)?<p>Do you refresh the index? (to index the new comments in a web page)<p>Do you get the pages from a simple wget? (google groups don't work this way i think?)<p>What technologies for the webapp backend and iphone?<p>Thanks

This is my commuting project, looking for some feedback to see if my 'me too' project has any chance of standing out. Thanks.<p>Edit: Use the voucher code HNTRIAL for a two month trial.

This sort of thing never appealed to me. It seems sort of superfluous: with good tagging and organization, you should be able to retrieve bookmarks with ease. Paying for a service just seems wasteful, and I certainly have no intention of subscribing to a service like this (even if I could afford it, which I can't).<p>Moreover, it's fairly expensive as bookmarking services go. Pinboard offers identical functionality for significantly less money. A few bookmarking services offer search for free. I just can't comprehend how this product can compete on price.

All the more power to more sites for bookmarking, but I cannot afford and I am not paying. Good luck.

I use Pinboard and it works just fine. titles, a description, and tags are good enough search wise.

I'm tangentially interested in full text search. What libraries are you using?

Am I just looking at this the wrong way or is there no free trial?

So actually a google search is possible on the limit set of your bookmarks. Why only search on this limit set when I look for something?<p>Secondly does it search a page in the version I bookmarked it?
