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

Comments

Congratulations on the launch!

Although 'synthesise' has broad meaning, I think organising the bookmarks this way helps to fetch our bookmarks when needed e.g. A need gap - 'I forget my web bookmarks quite often'[1] was posted on my problem validation platform which I think this tool can effectively address.

Did you have the intention of solving that problem when creating this tool? Then I would suggest improving the copy in the home page from 'Synthesise' to something on the lines of -

'Don't forget your bookmarks again, get them back when you need it'.

Also, an address bar integration which brings results from Klobie first could serve the purpose better IMO.

Thanks! Great points.

My specific use case is doing initial, exploratory web research to work on company, industry and market analysis. This initial phase requires reviewing many sources and identifying the "important bits" that will help structure the main project. I take notes for that, at the bookmark, topic and board (theme) level. I get what you say, the wording of the one-liner maybe doesn't reflect all possible use cases, or even properly describe my own! I'll consider options for this.

The idea of address bar integration is terrific.

Thanks again for the feedback!
