Review my app - clipng.com
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=390354Hello all,
A while back I got frustrated with the folders full of disorganized bookmarks I'd accumulated. After some thought about how to solve it I built an app that's working well for me. I'm soliciting feedback to see what I can do to make it work well for other people.
clipng is based on the following ideas:
- I'm usually only interested in part of a page (a particular insightful piece, code snippet, recipe, etc) - If I could collect the good parts all in one place then I could tag them and make them searchable.
To implement this I made the following:
- A bookmarklet that, when clicked, collects the current selection and some information about the current page (I call it a "clipping") - A site that handles tagging and indexing for your clippings (I used App Engine)
I'm still in semi-private testing but the following link will get you in (Google sign in, no need to create an account):

Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Enjoy, -Choong
