sonaal··on We made a video bookmarking service – (iOS, Android, Web)
Wanted to share an app we have been working on called Vookmark. Vookmark allows you to bookmark interesting videos which you stumble upon on

- YouTube - Vimeo - DailyMotion - Facebook or even - Reddit and bookmark them easily so that you can watch them later any time, on any device.

Website: https://vookmark.co

We hope that you would find Vookmark as the easiest way to organise or bookmark all your favourite videos into one place.

Vookmark comes with the following features: - All vookmarked videos will show up in the ‘New’ tab - Revisit videos again in the ‘Watched’ tab - Mark videos as favourite for quick access - Ability to share vookmarked videos - Set a reminder to catch up on vookmarked videos

PRO Features - $5 / year - Ability to add tags to organise your videos - Zapier Integration - Connect you favourite YouTube channels and when any new video is available - it will be automatically added it to the new section in Vookmark - Ad-free experience

Would love to hear your feedback. If you like this app, please share with your friends - it would mean a lot to us. Thanks a lot and have a great day :)

sonaal··on Demonstrate – Mobile Prototyping. Zero Coding
We made Demonstrate so that you can share your ideas and make quick prototypes directly on your iPhone with zero code. Some of the new features include: capturing your paper scribbles and whiteboard drawings via the camera, header / footer lock for scrolling screens, ability to add gestures and easy sharing of projects. More details here http://bit.ly/29hw7bv

At the moment all your projects are saved in Dropbox...iCloud and Google Drive coming soon.

sonaal··on Show HN: Demonstrate 2 – Showcase your app ideas like a real app. Zero coding
Version 1 of Demonstrate went live on October 2013. The problem we were trying to solve then was - how can we as designers/developers showcase how an app flows and feels on a native device - without writing a single line of code. Demonstrate v1 allowed using hotspots and transitions to build an almost real looking app. Which was used by designers, product teams, presales and sales teams to demonstrate their ideas.

It's high time the app got a revamp. So here is Demonstrate 2.0 with better features, better sharing and a better overall experience to share your ideas. Opening beta invites to the app starting today - more details on the site. Sign up to give it a try? http://nfnlabs.in/demonstrate/

sonaal··on Show HN: The Top Fives (now with Focus Mode)
The Top Fives now has 'Focus' mode for times where you don't always want to see news and inspirations with each new tab.

Go into focus mode, add tasks that you want to accomplish and the same will open in every new tab.

Thanks for the feedback. On the productivity part We are looking into 'task mode' with a simple todo-list. More on that soon :)
sonaal··on Show HN: The Top Fives – now with Dark Mode
You are right, should not wipe out the selection - but still emphasise that max 6 can be favourited so that they can come above the fold/scroll. Will look into it. Thanks for the feedback.

sonaal··on Show HN: The Top Fives – now with Dark Mode
If you go to 'Manage sources' and set the default theme to dark - it will work for both 'News' and 'Inspiration'. But yeah dark mode everywhere (even in manage sources) is something we need to work on.

sonaal··on Has someone copied your app idea + design? (Like totally copied)
Yes we can. But didnt know that when such blatant ripoffs are pointed out (name, style, even content n description)- its still a time consuming process. Apple has written to 1 of the 5 people. Let's see how long this takes
