Ask HN: a bookmarking app focused on the content

1 pointpaglia_s4 comments

Hi,

I've been thinking for some time about this idea, an app (a bit like getpocket.com) that given a link extract the valuable informations out of it but not limited to articles. You give it a Flickr photo url and shows only the photo, a vimeo video only the video player,...

You could organize those links in list and share them with everyone else like many other bookmarking apps do but more focused on the real content.

What do you think? Which type of content/websites would you like it to support?

Hi. If I understand it's like parsing and putting a link extract for users next the content. So if it's that it can be help some.

But quick question, if I want the content and the video/photo under the same bookmark link. Will it not be as getpocket?.

If you don't mind. I will be more interested on the app that can track the update of the content or the comments or even the product price. But I don't know either if it's good idea.

Good luck.

Mmm.. if there's an article with a video/image it would work like pocket. But sincerely I'm not sure what it should do with articles or text pages, actually I have thinked more about other types of content. Maybe you have a set of photos that you like spread on a lot of differe sites: you could create a simple list of links but it would be a lot easier if you could access only the content that matters, in this case the photo, in a direct and uncluttered way.

But I'm not really sure, it's just a random idea that I've implemented in part and would like to have some feedback so let me know what do you think

For now I don't see it fitting my need. But if I have many many bookmarks, how can I deal with them? what if there is a rank feature to let me see what the audience/friends are interested on will be greet. Like hot/cold.

Edit: Just to let you know I am in the same case then you (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7692320).
