Show HN: Unmark 2.0
- deleted 7y ago[deleted]
- cdevroe 7y agoHi! We've _just_ published Unmark 2.0 that adds tag autocompletion, easier bookmark editing, and more. Completely free to try and totally open source (2.0 is in a PR at the moment, but feel free to nab it). Paid accounts are available, they support future updates (we've made 7 significant updates this year) and you unlock search and import/export, etc. Would love your feedback HN. Unmark has been a labor of love for a few years. It doesn't make much at all but I use it every single day and want to continue to do so.
- Kovah 7y agoI tried Unmark 1 back in the day. I loved it! Later I abandoned it, because sadly development looked dead (it was even marked as abandoned on Alternative.to). You probably lost a few user who are now using other tools. :/ I won't try the new version, sorry.
- cdevroe 7y agoNo worries Kovah. I hope you find a tool that suits your needs and you love it!
- bachmeier 7y ago> It doesn't make much at all Curious how you decided on a price of $55/year. That's kind of steep for what you're providing. Pinboard, for instance, is 20% of that.
- eitland 7y agoI agree that it was a bit steep and could easily have skipped opening it because of that. OTOH it has a generous free tier and is open source so you can host your own.
- cdevroe 7y agobachmeier: I hear you. If you like Pinboard I suggest using that. It is a great service and I'm a paying member of that as well. The justification for the pricing is rather simple; It is 2019 and life isn't cheap so we wanted a fair price that would allow us to make Unmark a sustainable platform for a long time to come. Because the free tier is fairly generous, and because it is open source, we know our subscriber numbers will be very low. Perhaps only "superfans" of Unmark will purchase a subscription. But if they do, we want it to cover the costs of running the platform.
- FroshKiller 7y agoPlease don't make me click a link to find out what your homepage is about.
- cdevroe 7y agoGood feedback, thank you.
- cerberusss 7y agoIt's just a single click. And you remain on the same page, too. I don't think it's too bad actually; it keeps the page very clean.
- buckminster 7y agoI'm not going to enable javascript to find out what your website does when I have no idea what your website does.
- cdevroe 7y agobuckminster: We'll create a static frontpage in the future without the need for the click. And we'll also keep the easy-to-login feature for existing users.
- threatofrain 7y agoIt optimized for users vs shoppers, which I appreciate because user acquisition can contradict the pursuit of user experience optimization and I am more frequently using a solution than shopping for my next solution. As for JS, this is a web app.
- jlelse 7y agoPlease test your CSS not only with Chrome, but with Firefox too. There are a few glitches.
- bachmeier 7y agoCame here to post the same thing. And honestly, it's a bit sloppy to release without checking, given how trivial it is to open an alternative browser.
- sveingjoby 7y agoThe strange thing is that it works fine in Safari. Usually the other way around
- cdevroe 7y agoThank you for the feedback jlese. I am a fulltime Firefox user! So, oddly the entire app is built using Firefox primarily. What glitches are you seeing? Side note to all in this thread: There are definite issues on iOS 13 on iPhone and iPad that we already are working on for the next point release. Examples include a weird bar that shows up at the top of iPad in landscape mode, and on iPhone the search bar doesn't show up. These issues started with iOS 13 I believe. These will be addressed very soon!
