Ask HN: My website is useful to me, but what would make it useful to you?

I took my old read-it-later site and added text search and tags, and its turning out to be handy, at least to me. I'm having difficulty getting feedback because of such a small user base.

1. i don't think its a big deal for a site like yours to even ask for a registration and verify. Just enter in a unique name and password and let people go.

2. Im trying to use your bookmark and its telling me i need to login, then when i login it says wrong.. do i need to register my email first ?.. if this is so.. I've already clicked away from your site, and forgotten about it.

3. its confusing wheatt and links for later. which site am i using. just let me use one.

I don't think tagging links and saving them is enough anymore. I just gmail links to myself, enter in a bunch of keywords in the body, and put them under a links label. Which pretty much does a much better job than what you're doing.

Good luck.

Well you have to sign up before you use it. And it doesn't require verification of email, thats why it says it ok to use a fake email address.
