A while back I made a post talking about a Chrome extension I had bootstrapped. At the time it could only be self-hosted and run locally with docker. In order to make it more accessible, I’ve taken the steps to deploy the web app and submit the extension to the chrome store!
Hopefully you’ll find collecting snippets from online articles as fun as I do. I haven’t enabled email verification for now so you don’t even have to use a real email to create your account.
I added a primitive networking feature so you can add your friends by their username and see what they've saved recently!
It’s more or less a passion project/useless tech, and probably has a few bugs, but it exists! Please let me know if you have any thoughts or feedback.
Of course I have endless ideas to expand it (friend list view, toggle the highlighting of popular snippets (or saved by friends) on websites, Youtube integration: video snippets, private snippets) but I'm helplessly pulled forwards to my next silly idea.
Thanks for reading!
