Hi, creator here. I made Mochimarks because I found that recently, I wanted to go back to certain links at certain times. For example, I'd want to go back to a kickstarter on the day it was ending. Since I resolved to make an online bookmark app anyway, I decided to make my dream bookmark app and add a bunch of features I'd always wanted to have. My focus is to make bookmarks more actively useful. While there's more stuff I want to do, Mochimarks is ready for beta and I would really appreciate some feedback.

Mochimarks has configurable reminders, wishlisting, bookmark ranking, opt-in sharing, and can recommend bookmarks it thinks you might want to read again. Mochimarks also has the features you'd expect from an modern bookmarking website, including tags, read later, full text search, responsive design, and lots of sorting options. I've tried hard to pay close attention to security and privacy. I'm still working on batch editing bookmarks.

The easiest way to interact with Mochimarks is via its chrome extension. Otherwise, there are bookmarklets. I know the online bookmark space is crowded, but I've personally found the features I've added really useful. Thanks!

What does "recommend bookmarks it thinks you might want to read again" mean? How does that work?

If you use the "suggestion" sorting, it will recommend some links it thinks you should look at again. It bases this on several factors, like the interest level, tags, creation date, last visited date, and last modified date. It does a lot of time decay. I'm still tuning the algorithm, so it should improve as time goes on.

I've just started playing it and like some of what you've done. One thing I've been looking for is easier to assign tags. Like drag and drop tags onto new bookmarks. Have the system suggest tags based on how other tagged the same website or page. Or even do statistical analysis of the webpage to suggest tags.

Also are you doing this as a toy project or is this a business?

Thanks for checking it out and thanks a lot of the feedback! There is a suggest tags system in place right now, but it relies on crowd sourcing and there aren't many users right now. I've considered doing some statistical analysis, but I've been focusing on other features first.

I plan to charge once I'm done with the beta, but it would be more of a side business. It started out as a toy though, so who knows what'll happen long term.

This seem like it could be useful. I've been looking for something to track release dates and amas, I'll give it a try. Is there an API?

Yeah, the guide is kind of hidden away at https://mochimarks.com/info/api
