Pinport
Personal bookmark manager
Back in 2023, I shared here that I’d bought BookmarkManager.com for $3,450.
Today, I’m giving the product a new name: Pinport.
BookmarkManager.com described exactly what I was building. Pinport is shorter and gives the product an identity of its own.
The idea remains the same: save useful links and actually find them again weeks or months later. What started with combining tags now also includes searching your bookmarks by meaning, using whatever you remember.
You can check it out at pinport.app.
Curious to hear from other founders: have you moved from a descriptive domain to a brand name? How did it work out?
Automation just got smarter.
With our new webhooks, Bookmark Manager can now notify your apps or workflows instantly when something happens - like when you add, edit, or delete a bookmark.
Perfect for connecting to tools like Zapier, n8n, or your own custom systems in real time.
No more polling. Just instant updates.

You can now seamlessly connect your bookmarks with your favorite apps, services like Zapier and Make.com, or even your own custom-developed applications. Enhance your workflows, automate your bookmarking, and rediscover your links!

Can't wait to see what you'll build! 🚀
A few months ago, I began building a bookmark manager for myself. Time and time again, I wanted to save links to newly discovered resources, whether it was a useful tool, marketing materials, or something else.
All bookmark managers let you easily save bookmarks. The problem I had with existing solutions is how you rediscover your bookmarks a few weeks later.
Almost every bookmark manager has some sort of full-text search, but in order to search for a bookmark, I need to remember something about it - the title, the topic, or some part of the content or URL. I needed a solution that would allow me to add context to the saved bookmarks (e.g. learning, writing, inspiration, ...) which I could later use to rediscover them. Common solutions to this problem are folders and tags. While they both have their pros and cons, I prefer tags.
A lot of bookmark managers allow you to add tags, but it's usually "inclusive tagging" - I wanted "exclusive tagging". Exclusive tagging means that you combine your selected tags with "AND" (instead of "OR") when you search for something. Say you select the tags "Inspiration" and "Marketing". With inclusive tagging, this would result in showing me all the bookmarks that are tagged with "Inspiration" -OR- "Marketing". Instead, I only want to see bookmarks tagged with "Inspiration" -AND- "Marketing". I want to reduce the results with every selected tag. That's what I built.
With my bookmark manager taking shape, I looked for a domain. I saw that BookmarkManager.com was offered for USD 4500. After some negotiations, I bought it for USD 3450.
Any feedback is appreciated!
