Show IH: I built a browser extension that automatically categorises, tags and recommends bookmarks for you.

The story:

Almost a month ago, I asked my fellow IH-ers for validation for my product.

I received really good feedback regarding the idea - positive and negative both. Above all that, I built really good relationships with a few who reached out to me personally by email regarding Markie, its development and just a few concerns about the bugs they encountered.

I got really good constructive feedback like - "Incorporate import bookmarks", "Increase free plan limits", etc and also brutal feedbacks like - "it just doesn't work" , "it doesn't support videos", "it doesn't support X or Y" - I took all of those into consideration to build what is now a great usable product.

And especially due to one of the comments that "the general public is not very forgiving", building the product pivoted on that notion helped me a lot.

I added support for videos, I built an import bookmark feature (this was really hard), I added support for a lot more pages by improving the parsing logic.

Today, I can say that Markie is nearing its launch. I would like to thank you all for the amazing support.

TL;DR - I asked fellow IH-ers for feedback, I implemented them and now I believe that I have a great usable product.
