I did the exact same thing when I saw DreamBooth for the first time! I showed it to a bunch of friends and they convinced me to turn it into an iOS app. https://apps.apple.com/app/ai-avatar-for-dogs-floof-ai/id165.

I regularly chat with folks running competitors to my business. It's a fairly niche space so there's not many people who understand what we're dealing with day to day. I remove them from my user forums when I see them join,

linkdrop.co -- Pays for the occasional (happy hour) beer, but I have a huge backlog of user feedback and TODOs that I never have time for which is why I consider it half baked.

Hey I built https://www.linkdrop.co/ about 6 months ago to solve exactly that problem. Linkdrop doesn't have any unread article lists. When you "save" an article, it queues it up to send it to you in an ema

I posted about an extension I built to help me manage my bookmarks yesterday. It sends you an email of all the bookmarks you make for that day at the end of a day (similar to a news letter). You can find it at linkdrop.co It sounds like you

Cool - I'll check out how portable the code from chrome extension to firefox/safari extension is. This could be a quick work around if needed. Thanks!

Hey thanks! I've never seen mailist before. I probably wouldn't have built this if I had haha.

Hey thanks so much for your comment! I'm glad you find this tool helpful. If you have a minute, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how I could improve it further. My email is in my profile. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Ugh thank you for catching that. Will fix in the next push.

Interesting, the default behavior is for it to carry over but I thought that was weird so I clear the inputs when you switch between the two. I can see how that is annoying since they look so similar.

Hmm that's interesting. I'm not very familiar with bookmarklets. Could I sync and persist a uid so that I can store the bookmarks per user?

If I had known the response this would get I wouldn't have launched without it! I'll look into it over the next couple weeks. :)

Yeah I probably need to redo the landing page. There are a few more example screenshots on the chrome extension page: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/link-drop/bdfpcani... Thanks for the feedback!

Someone pointed me to this thread today based on a tool that I just built that emails you all the bookmarks you set at the end of the day. You can find it at linkdrop.co.

I wanted to add that but I didn't have time this weekend. That's actually my biggest feature request from myself :P. I'm super busy over the next couple weeks, but I'll see what I can do to add this, maybe even just a ha

Oh no it actually just sends whatever hte link is that you bookmarked. Sorry for the confusion! What you described is actually a _really_ cool idea though haha.

My initial plan was to integrate with Pocket (which I love). I have some ideas for how that would be done. Building this was more about learning how to build a chrome extension, but I think this might work even better as a tool on top of po

Hi HN - I built this to satisfy a personal itch and learn more about chrome extensions. I always felt like I would set and forget bookmarks so I wanted a way to be reminded of them daily. That, combined me with my love of newsletters, led m

Hey this looks really cool. I could see this potentially being useful for communities that have guests do public office hours but might have issues getting the word out to interested people who don't regularly visit the forums for upda

I sometimes throw a quieter stream on in the background. It makes me feel like I'm in an office space when I'm coding by myself which sometimes helps me focus. I never usually have a stream on for more than 10-15 minutes at a time

A lot of people are worried that they'll bring up passwords or open up personal websites like facebook for everyone to see. For me, streaming myself code on Twitch encourages me not to open those time sink websites. Also, the "Pro

Is there a way to limit the tabs that it opens on? I think this would be nice to have when I'm trying to waste time but if I'm trying to open tabs for work I could see this getting really annoying. Looks cool though :)

Reddit caters to a broader range of people, so it is less focused. If you go to specific subreddits you can find great content and intelligent conversation. I've learned a lot from /r/swift and /r/learnpython. HN wo
