Hah I had the same question! Thought the project was aptly named if referring to the cycling champ if that’s what it was meant to be.

canada_dry also brought up the idea of a browser extension (for privacy's sake). I think that paired with your idea of inserting saved content into the main feed is very enticing.

I would need to figure out how injection would work for saved comments, do you have any ideas? I'm definitely going to save this idea so thank you!

I appreciate you raising this concern, I honestly never thought about that.

> Simply that they want to save something from reddit to their tryunearth.com account

When you say that, I envision the extension overriding or extending Reddit's save button functionality by making an API call to the unearth backend. Is that kinda what you had in mind?

Thanks for the heads up, will debug and push a fix tomorrow.

I tried to make onboarding as frictionless as possible so this makes me happy to hear!

And that's a really interesting idea regarding search. Would love to see the HN thread/article you mentioned to get a better understanding of the concept. As of now, Unearth's only focus was on active content resurfacing, but I've seen many Redditors mention the wish to search their saves as well so I think I'll look more into this.

Appreciate the ideas, keep them coming.

Thanks! I've been hesitant to show it off thinking not many people would find it useful but you've given me hope :)

Feel free to try it out and let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions.

I'm tackling the issue of managing Reddit saves.

Across all platforms (not just Reddit), people including myself like to save/bookmark interesting content in the hopes of getting some use out of it later. The problem arises when you start accumulating too much content and forget to ever check that stuff out.

I'm working on a solution to help resurface Redditors' saved things using personalized newsletters. I'm calling it Unearth and users get to choose how frequently they want to receive their newsletter (daily, weekly, or monthly). The emails contain five of their saved comments or things and link directly to Reddit so that when viewing it, they can then decide whether or not to unsave it.

Basic functionality is all there, just needs some more styling and the landing page could be spruced up.
