Show HN: Side project for organized bookmarking: Saaave

"Your personal library for the web. A better way of bookmarking" - this isn't a value proposition. Give me a reason to take action (in this case, give you my email address) instead of clicking back.

Requesting a username and password immediately after the email address? Another obstacle to adoption. Get rid of this as quickly as you can.

Before you lose too much potential front page traffic, consider:

1. Showing what Saaave does better than a browser's bookmark list or Safari's reading list - emphasis on show and not tell.

2. Whether capturing the email address is really necessary as the first interaction with the site. You'll get much better retention if you let people start using Saaave with no obstacles, and then prompt for an email address as the last step.

Can you give me a bit of introduction about what it does? I personally would want to know this before I give my email address and start messing around.

Looks very promising. I think there is still no good tool to manage all your links correctly. However, I have some ideas for you: - Sharing lists (so that they show up under your list) with teams - Mobile integration if this is possible

Good work!

I opened the site and the front page asks me to give my email w/o even telling me what it does. I came right back to HN to check on comments , so as mentioned by others , give us an intro , it will really help.

Here's what I experienced:

1. Signed up using a dummy email address - just to test the service. Luckily(!), it logged me in without any email activation. Good that, there's a workaround to see the service without giving your actual email address.

2. The landing page page after I logged in was little confusing at first. There was a button to create list - but I was wondering why should I create a list first in a bookmarking service. Later, only after creating a list, the option to add an URL popped up.

3. Even before I create a list, I installed the bookmarklet. But when I tried to bookmark a page, the popup window was asking me to choose a list but I didn't have any. I thought from that popup I could create a new list, but I couldn't.

4. After logging out, I wanted to login again. Went to home page - but couldn't find any 'login' link. It took sometime to realize I need to enter my email address in the same textbox which I used to signup. Little confusing.

I like the design, nice and clean.

I managed to create two lists with the same name, should that be possible!? There was nothing to indicate the browser was saving the first time I clicked so I clicked again and ended up with two!

Also, when I add a new list, the input box overflows outside of the list div.

I really like the idea for this, some social features would be awesome, like sharing your lists publically and groups!

Groups could moderate a list of links for a particular topic, With contributors rating/commenting on whether they find them useful or not.

I remember a HN thread a while back saying there were no good lists of python tutorials around, this could certainly solve this problem!

Could you explain how Saaave makes bookmarking more organized?

Few weeks ago I've written on HN about my side project LStack (http://lstack.com), which essentially is also about better organization of bookmarks. It features bookmark parameters (like - price:100 USD, type:webapp, genre:jazz), powerful filtering and organizing bookmarks into groups and folders (I call them "streams").

How would you compare LStack to Saaave? What are the differences and / or similarities?

This sounds interesting but I couldn't try it out. I got an "Invalid beta code" error. This happened after I typed in too short of a password. Also, the signup css was messed up in Chrome.

I have so many bookmarks that IE8 (don't ask) chokes for 10-20 seconds on startup (a bookmark is stored by IE8 as an individual file).

None of these bookmarks are organized well by me. I just bookmark something if it's good. Maybe, once in a while, I'll create a folder for a couple of related bookmarks that I add at the same time.

What can this do for me?

P.S., I have no idea what your website is or what it does, or how it can help me. But this is your failure, not mine.

I love this! Iron out the bugs and add https support, and you've totally got me as a user. I've been looking for something like this for a long time now.

edit: being able to import and sort through my old bookmarks would be awesome too ;-).

Does not accept my username, without pointing out the reason. And the registration flow is not standard and confusing.

Looks like a similar approach like we have in http://kippt.com

How is this any different from, or better than, all the other bookmarking apps out there?

A form that lets me enter my email address? Aren't there are zillion of those already?
