Show HN: Notado – Content-First Bookmarking

Thank you for your feedback! I have made a note about think about how to engage people who don't already use a good bookmarking service and integrations with Push to Kindle services.

I see what you mean about signup visibility; I'll take a stab at improving this a little later in the week.

As I mentioned in another comment, this was not something that I had thought about before reading the suggestions today on HN, but it's definitely something that I am actively considering for the future.

Same here, though I hope that one day functionality like this becomes a standard part of web browsers.

Isn’t it amazing how many products get shipped these days, where products with this level of polish are barely noteworthy entrants into a market of hundreds.

seconding the request for a self hosting option, as well as the payment of a licensing fee (which I'd be happy to pay, as this is also something I've been looking for)

I had not thought of this possibility before reading your comment. It is definitely an option that I will consider for the future, but it is not something that should be expected in the short term.

I definitely agree with this. It's for this reason that I've tried to make it as easy as possible for users to automatically sync data from their Notado accounts to other services and make regular or ongoing backups either through the API or by listening to their own RSS feeds.

Thank you for taking the time to report this! I will fix this issue later today.

Edit: The fix is now live

It doesn't support adding highlights from books; I primarily listen to audiobooks these days so it wasn't a feature that made the cut when I was defining the scope for Notado. Additionally I think that Readwise already handles this use case very well.

I would like to support automatically syncing notes from Notado to Readwise, but it seems that they do not provide a public API yet. It's still possible to indirectly synchronise notes from Notado to Readwise by syncing them to Instapaper as Highlights, and then syncing those Highlights to Readwise, though this isn't something I have done myself so I can't vouch for the reliability of it.

I really like this quote from your post:

"i want to be able to remind myself why i bookmarked something so that I later don't have to read through entire article to jog my memory."

This is one of the major things that motivated me to create Notado!

The magic link from the login email has expired (they are valid for 5 minutes from the initial request). You'll need to request another sign up/login link from the main page and use it before it expires.

Thanks for taking the time to report this issue! I will fix this later today so that in the case of an expired link being clicked the user is redirected to the landing page with a message that explains the link they tried to use has expired.

Thank you for taking the time to report this!

I have a feeling that this is probably because requests to https://cdn.jsdelivr.net are being blocked by a Chrome extension you have running. This request is required to load the Bulma CSS framework (which includes no Javascript).

There are no third party requests besides this on the website, and in fact the whole website and web app once logged in is 99% HTML, with four JS functions included directly in the HTML responses within a <script> tag to allow for the copying of saved notes and links to the clipboard, rendering UTC timestamps in local time, and toggling the menu on mobile browsers.
