Kippt Pro: Advanced Search, Folders and Imports

Kippt is generally great and I've been using it regularly since signing up, but the interface is just awful. I don't want to see my links as a weird Pinterest-inspired grid or a ridiculously low-density list. I want an actual list, with a reasonable amount of white space. I also want a way to go straight to the link and bypass the link's page within Kippt.

Basically, putting things in to Kippt is a pleasure. Using the information once it is in Kippt is a painful experience. I find myself dreading actually going into Kippt to get at a link I saved previously.

Pintrest-esq layouts only work for bookmarks when you add screenshots (which don't work 25% of the time must-be-logged-in content).

Made this last year: http://folindux.com/popular

or check out amazd. Example:

Loving the new direction of Kippt. Congrats team Jorri and Karri.

What's the best case usage for Kippt? What is it ideal for?

I would say that it's a personal digital web library. You can basically organize all of your information you collect online into a searchable, sharable, resource. It's advanced bookmarking. Here is how the site depicts it.
