Show HN: KStash, the search engine for your useful web links, meant for devs

3 points by plp12 5y ago ↗ HN

Hello, I am a dev.

I built K-Stash for one reason: my bookmarks are flooded. They've become completely useless.

The more projects I do and the more researches I make on websites like, well, stackoverflow, the more links and folders I add to the bookmarks.

What if I needed a particular link, saved who knows where, after 1 year? At least for me, scraping through the bookmarks would be a nightmare, I'd prefer saerching all over again on google.

Why lose valuable time though? What if existed some smart bookmarks, where resources were searchable with keywords, just like a search engine?

Here is where K-Stash kicks in. I built it for personal use, but then I thought it could improve someone else's productivity too!

It's primarily meant for devs or whoever needs to save stuff for future use and build a.. knowledge stash :)

In closed beta right now, and I'd really love to get some feedbacks from you :)

First tell how it works before asking for payment. Is it a chrome extension? Is it just a site that I have to paste urls into? Are you just indexing the pages or saving them for posterity?

There used to be a service similar to yours called furl. It didn't survive but it was immensely useful. I hope someone revives this idea and makes a viable business out of it. I'll pay.

There's a free plan meant to make you discover it, but yes I was planning to add a short demo about its usage.

I am working on a Chrome extension too :)

Atm pages get indexed. Offline saving is a future development.
