Bookmark Saas Application
Hey, I plan to create a bookmark Sass application that will let you highlight anything on a webpage and when you save the bookmark the info you highlighted will be saved. When you open the bookmark manager you will be able to see everything you highlighted on a page plus I am working on a python web scraper that will get other relevant info. This would save time so developers will be able to focus on developing the application with easy to access information.
Do you guys like the idea?
There are already existing tools like Weava, Liner, Beanote, etc. It's a very competitive space. On the contrary, I think the idea can be developed as an annotation widget for technical documentation, where one can highlight a text and leave comments directly on the web page.
Thanks actually a very good idea! Being able to leave comments on a site for later use would be extremely helpful. It would help developers put their thoughts down so they don't forget or to use for later projects.
Sounds useful, but I think you're missing two key parts:
I'd love to see more thought on those two things specifically, because right now it sounds more like a solution in search of a problem. Very neat, but can you make a business from it?
Hey thanks for the comment, the first way my application is going to be different is that it will give the user the ability to highlight and comment on web pages and link to other webpages that are relevant to what they bookmarked. I am planning to have monthly fees for the application and since its a bookmarking application, It will very cheap like less than 5 dollars a month. There would be much overhead as I just have to store users and highlighted text. Most of the processing power will be on the client-side also.
I suggest u take a look at weava before building anything. It started a few years ago. I used it occasionally. It has > 100k users, nice ui / ux.
Nice one, I was thinking of something similar. Are you thinking of just highlighting pieces of the page or saving the whole page. Also, what do you mean by "other relevant info"?
And how is it different that what sillycube metioned?
It would save to the whole page with the highlighted text, and as sillycube mentions, I will add the ability to put comments on a page for later use. For the relevant info, let's say you are looking at a site on how to use express.js, there would be sidebar linking to popular learning platforms for express.js so it would be easy to find information.
Great idea :) So it would be like a browser extension and would have a bookmark dashboard web app?
I am planning on creating a browser extension and yeah there will be a dashboard like web app to go along with it.
Any progress on the project? I've been working on a similar concept too.
