Kippt guys here. The current way of discovering, storing and reading web content & other information seems very random and scattered. We wanted to create a better way to save, manage, read and share things that are interesting or important for you.

Eg. As a designer, my library of UI screenshots, UX flows and articles are really valuable for me whenever I'm working on something. So having a library and finding new things is important to me.

This is our first attempt on the problem, focusing on bookmarking. We would love your feedback. We're currently working on Delicious importer, developer API and mobile version. If you're interested testing them out, hit us an email hello@kippt.com

Need tagging service please. It will help me group my bookmark.

jorde6• 15 years ago

We have been thinking about hashtags together with search but haven't nailed down the decision. What do you think about that?

Isn't that what lists are for?

jkaljundi3• 15 years ago

We started with automatic tagging of bookmarks at http://utopic.me/ but now added folders as well (something we initially removed in design phase). Both have their advantages.

Saving a snapshot of the page you bookmark at the moment you bookmark it is totally awesome. Great work guys.

olegp3• 15 years ago

Would be nice if you made it easier for me to pick the list to save to.

In the web UI or extensions? We tried to simplify the flow and make bookmarking things fast (no need for tags, extra fields). So far it seems that most of the user base is sticking to Chrome extension but we're always looking to improve the experience.

olegp3• 15 years ago

Chrome extension.

Can bookmarks be private?

jorde6• 15 years ago

Yes, at the moment they are all private. We're introducing public features some time in the near future once we get the bare minimum product right.

404error2• 15 years ago

Awesome, knowing this, I'll definitely give it a try!

Thanks

Bug report: connect with twitter then use your email as your username when the auth redirects and a 500 is thrown.

jorde6• 15 years ago

Thanks, we'll look into this one

why do no bookmarking services leverage collective intelligence to recommend urls/sites you're probably interested in based on your bookmarking history? You could turn a bookmarking site into an intelligent content discovery system

jkaljundi3• 15 years ago

A lot of what we do at http://utopic.me/ is solving exactly this issue, we do a lot of content discovery based on personalisation, tags and followed interests. Go check it out.

Is it possible to parse page content when bookmarking and automatically assign it an appropriate category or pre-populate a few tags? I would find this highly useful, but I don't know how practical it would be to develop.

jorde6• 15 years ago

It just happens that my roommate works with this kind of research things. I'll ask him about it but it might be hard to accurately define tags. Might be useful with adding a extra level of accuracy to search.

jkaljundi3• 15 years ago

See how the auto-tagging works in Utopic bookmarklet/extensions. Hard to get a foolproof ideal result. Sometimes it works well, sometimes not. Semantic and any other tagging or content extraction is still in its early phases.

what's different from diigo.com?

sulf• 15 years ago

I feel like scoopinion.com will go into that direction.

jorde6• 15 years ago

We're more focused on the bookmarking. I think we both are trying to solve a similar problem but with a different approach.

Sadly it doesn't play well with Chinese...I've typed in Chinese notes and then all turned into "???".
