This looks useful. But I would like to confirm if it has "export to static file" functionality.

It would really suck if I spent months accumulating data for some research, only to have the account banned or suspended, or the app shuts down.

It actually has already an export function hidden somewhere :) But I had to disable it temporarily. So, yes, it'll definitely have it back in a few days.

Question: are CSV exports ok? Any other format you'd prefer?

Thanks for your feedback and interest!

For me, markdown will be a great option. Since it would help for deveolping research or blog notes.

Interesting, thanks! May I ask you what's your field of research? Or is just personal, general web research?

+1 for markdown. For me as developer (and for others as well I'm sure) markdown has become second nature for taking notes.

BTW, great work, te_ch! Do you have any plans for monetization? I can definitely see myself paying a few dollars a month if I end up using it enough.

Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback. No plans for monetization yet.

If you decide to try it, I look forward to receiving more feedback and feature requests!

Thanks for the feedback! Would you rather have the entire board with bookmarks, notes, etc. all in markdown keeping the structure (cards, etc.) or just the list of bookmarks in markdown?

I went with atom xml at http://purl.mro.name/ShaarliGo. Serves both as export format and can by subscribed to, too.
