Love the design, and how it structures your bookmarks in a familiar way for me, as I love using boards / columns for structuring and organizing my tasks and work in general :)
Thank you for getting involved Ferruccio, yes that's correct! It made it really easy to put it together. I really like the platform and the work Alex did.
You can actually see Qlearly featured on the home page of his website :)
Some issues I've had is that:
- There is a long process to make a task. You have to click the three dots, and then click create task.
- The ad on the bottom left covers some of the saved tabs (not a huge problem, because I understand you have to make money)
Thank you for getting involved, that's awesome to hear!
I completely agree, we are focusing on a few other things first, however, I really want to improve that soon. We will likely start to work on it by the end of April!
Regarding the ad spot, that's a fair point. As of now, we are using https://usemagnify.com so we don't have a lot of ways to customize the spot but we will likely work on our own system or certain publishers once we get some of our priorities out of the way. :)
Oh yeah! The layout saves me time because I can easily see all of my favourite, most-used sites & one second later I'm there! I also like Today's Task, though I think the ability to colour fonts would scare me into more action!Qlearly is clearly a good thing!
Great tool, been using it for a while now.
The only issue I have with it is that there is no way to configure it so that saved links don't open in a new tab.
So the current flow when I want to go to a site I saved is: open a new tab, click on the link, it opens in a new tab, then I have to go back to the previous tab and close it.
If you could add an option in the settings to just have all links open in the same tab, would be great.
Works well for me (on Chrome), but sometimes has quite some weird lag (e.g. I rename a column, hit enter, then it first displays the old name, then jumps to the new name again).
Sounds like an unpolished async change - it changes only after the server has confirmed successfully saving. I often hit this in my projects and if I want to be safe I would usually add a progress to make sure the user knows what's happening, but when it's not a critical change (losing a new name of a column would classify for that in my book) I would just apply the new state on the client for better UX, risking losing the change if the user somehow navigates away/kill the app before a request is sent/completed. It's just better UX, IMO.
I like it, it reminds me of Papaly[1], another board-based bookmarking tool. It was an inspiration for StaticMarks[2], my own tool for managing bookmarks. My main suggestion would be to offer a notes/description field to make bookmarks easier to find.

It currently works on: Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Opera and more.
So far, we have been receiving quite positive feedback.
I'd love to hear what the Hacker News community thinks.
Sidenote - probably the best time to post on HN would've been around 1pm ET, to catch most eyes on the other side of the pond.
I have to look a bit further into this, thank you for bringing it up!

But overall pretty good.

My only wish is for an Android app that syncs with it.
