Thanks, I’ll fix that. Is everything just shrunk? Cause from my laptop/ipad it’s generally fine. You can temporarily fix this by pinching to zoom if you like.
Should only take you 5 minutes to just bump up font sizes.
Another useful thing is to set the device width meta tag which tells mobile phones width to use. I find it helps me standardise how things look - whatever width you put in there you can use that as the cut off for your media query
Congrats on putting this out there, but I don't get it. I mean that honestly not as a half-assed dis. Maybe this just isn't for me.
I have thousands of bookmarks and I don't understand how i'd use this to retrieve anything efficiently. I assume they'd just show up as post-like-things in the stream. I don't see any examples of blogging or why a stream? interface to a blog is a particularly good idea... sure for a front page but after that every blogging platform has basically decided "yeah scrolling forever to find a thing is bad way to find old posts.
Also, the free is concerning to me. Loosing blog posts or bookmarks because the place you hosted them didn't have a business plan to pay for hosting and can just be killed without concern because there's no potential loss of money is ... yeah. insta-nope for me. Don't want to loose all that effort.
Thanks for the comments. Yeah, you’re right. Your posts show up in a stream, or if they are pictures/video, you can see them in a gallery as well.

I built this with the intention of sharing interesting things (links, images, videos, or longer blog posts) so anything you post will show up in your own profile stream and on the public stream. For blog posts, only the title shows up, but after clicking it, the full post can be viewed.

I’m using the current $7 hobby tier from Heroku for hosting, which because of the student plan is free. And since images and videos are links, hosting costs are currently not a problem.
Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate your thoughts even though this might not be for you :)
The idea in the hn title is interesting - but I do not see anything on the page saying how it would work for bookmarks.. is it a bookmarklet like worpdress kind of thing?
A bookmark importer kind of idea?
I've never checked to see if anyone has made a bookmarks-file-importer for a blogging type thing - it's a good idea for many reasons.
Should be easy to import and create 'posts' in wordpress - I just don't know enough about the chrome and firefox bookamrks - how they are exported , the sqllite setup?
which makes me think it wouldn't be too hard to push an import/export into activitypub / mastadon / matrix..
If these things have been made I've not seen them - so there is some market for doing this kind of thing I believe - and I could see different types of people using bookmarklet like functionality if it was also one-click export the post to own blog plus insta plus fb plus whatever brdige matrix put out a while back.

random thoughts
Now, on the other hand, YouTube / Reddit, or worse, Facebook...
The obvious thing you are missing though is a bookmarklet. Don't make your users manually add their bookmarks ;-)
After that, the option to have your bookmarks private by default.
Keep going!
