Pick up where you left off - Need feedback.

Hey y'all, I've been lurking around on IH for quite a bit now with all the FOMO that I had and finally, I came up with an idea that I really need and would love to get your feedback on.

Here's the thing.

How many times have you stopped reading a blog or watching a documentary only to realize it's too big to consume in one go?

Or

You just want to come back when you have time and continue from there so you've left that tab open and soon it finds itself among dozens of other open tabs, and never be read again.

Yeah, I usually bookmark them via browser or dump 'em in my Notion to grab a look later but that loses all my current progress and not really scales for videos as you've to copy URL at a current time repeatedly and go over to Notion to paste it in your database.

Not to mention they go haywire after about a month.

My Notion dump. This took me about 2 hours to make and add proper sort + filters and page templates to add new posts.

So what will Pick up where you left off do?

  • Upon a keypress add the post you're reading to your collection with your progress noted
  • Whenever you revisit that tab you'll be reminded to, pick up where you left off.
  • Visit your dashboard to filter through posts you've added in past auto filtered by date (so it can act as a time machine of what you've read in the past)
  • Show you how much time you're gonna spend on a post or video (eg: 5 mins left on Joe Rogan's podcast)

Sounds good, ain't huh?

No more keeping open hundreds of tabs to finish at one go or dumping inorganized content in all together.

I can just think of so many things that can be a good addition like having sticky notes, highlights, etc but I really want to be lean with this.

With that said, let me know what y'all think and I'll really appreciate you giving suggestions for me to improve. 😊

Edit: I changed the title from "Save for later" as the name was already in use. 😅
