I have an idea for an app.
Would love to get some feedback.
Here's the thing: I always end up having loads of open tabs in my browser.
I know there are lots of extensions/bookmarklets/sites (I use diigo) to let
you track your links. There is a somewhat useful function "Read later".
What's the problem?
- The usual 'I am not hosting my data' issue
- A company having all details of whatever I visit and like on the Internet
- No effectiveness
The latter is crucial to the idea. I'd like to turn the browser in some
kind of rudimentary but effective link management / task management thing:
- tag links
- descriptions
- tag and/or media category ("article", "cultural", "geo", "context",
"video","picture", etc.)
- and most useful for me: assign an action ("store"(default), "work",
"read", "investigate","evaluate","invite","forward") and an optional
urgency ("urgent", "important", "follow-up")
I guess this could be also unhosted, but not sure if rww.io could be
particularly useful here.
As a side-note, I already have a 0.1 version as a chrome(ium) bookmarklet
(and a ruby-on-rails server), wondering what could be a more universal
approach.
I have quite lots of other work right now, so I hope to be able to start
anytime soon.
Any suggestion highly welcome
