Dragdis – Drag and drop anything anywhere

When my only options are to play a video or "register with" then I always choose the third: close tab.

That should change. You should ask for write permissions, but if it's refused, ask again when it becomes necessary.

edit: Have to say, the post-sign-up onboarding tutorial is REALLY well done!

That was when I had the unrealistic expectation that useful services would stay around forever and not get bought out, close shop or pivot into something else.

It was also during a time when I wasn't as apprehensive about sharing lots of personal data with a US company. Nowadays I pass up the opportunity to sign away my data to new players.

This thing needs to be open source and selfhosted...

I thought it was a good drag and drop javascript library for any DOM element that stored the position on the screen of each movable element and made some calculation for it to be displayed nicely, according to its previous position, later, on other screen sizes, phones and tablets.

It would be great if it could integrate with Pocket, so my Pocketed links show up in Dragdis too.

I have family that leave browser tabs open for days because bookmarks are too unwieldly for them to manage. It causes a host of problems.

This is the best solution I've seen that elegantly solves the local bookmarks problem.

So thanks for making it. I'm excited to watch this app grow over the next few years. I think it is going to flourish.

I've never been really gotten into Evernote or Pocket, but this had me hooked from the very beginning. So brilliant, yet simple, and thus far the experience has been flawless.

Now I don't want to sound like the guy who said "who needs dropbox when you can use rsync" but I actually just implemented something like this using rsynch and file folders to organize random clippings and notes in a similar way.

So far it's working pretty good. [1]

There is definitely potential for dragdis unfortunately it isn't possible to find out more without signing up which I am not willing to do. Or to login. And I am always concerned about not controlling the host that the data sits on.

[1] Objects are rsynced to a cloud host and they can then be viewed or retrieved from laptop, desktop etc.

Since I'm here to give a real critic I still signed up :)

It's amazing! You should make it clear that it is a browser extension though. And is it backed somewhere or does all my data dies when I reset firefox?

Also I don't really like that I can't browse through what I saved through the sidebar.

I wish you guys did a better job of explaining what your app will do with write permissions to Facebook. I played around with it a bit, and it doesn't look like things I bookmark get posted to my News Feed or anything like that, but I don't know for sure.

It would be nice if this was super clear when signing up.

Soo... what exactly happens with write permissions? :)

Thanks for this wonderful tool, I'll definitely use it in the future.

say that I have other drag and drop extension on firefox like QuickDag, it does open link in new tab, google the text, download images... etc.

when I drag a link and drop anywhere besides Dragdis sidebar, then it should fallback to Quickdrag and opne the link in new tab, not just cancel the drop event.

I already do similar stuff with the Evernote Clipper for saving content, but if I could also share on social networks and do the Evernote clipping in the same workflow it would probably remain installed.
