Comment on Show HN: A bookmarking tool designed to help synthesize your web research

Looks slick.

What do the numeric figures mean at the top of a topic card?

Things like 1b, 7b, 2.1bt and 11% and 17%

Is there somewhere that explains those? Did I miss some internet wide naming convention ??? :)

Thanks!

Good question, I forgot to add that to the help section :)

B = board

t = topic

b = bookmark

bt = bookmarks per topic

The percentage is the "coverage" received by a given topic in each board. If a board has 10 bookmarks and 3 of them are labeled e.g. "topicX", topicX's coverage is 30%. Totals may add up to more than 100% due to multiple topic assignments.

It helps you figure out where you stand in terms of the information you collect. I sometimes have to e.g. research and compare a number of topics within a given theme (e.g. companies in nanotechnology), and I want to make sure I do enough digging on each one.

I'm here if you have more questions!

Looks super nifty! Is there a way to import pinboard bookmarks or Evernote notes?

Thanks! Data import is at the top of the pending features, and plan to work on it within the next week. I'll look into those two sources and see what I can do.
