You should work some sort of "drag and drop to MediaCrush" thing out. Hosts video, audio, images with minimal BS, and gives you a link to share. Open source and has a great API, too. Disclaimer: I helped make it.
I used to leave my bookmarks sidebar open all the time before I switched to Chrome for performance/dev tool reasons. I was bummed that Chrome didn't have the same functionality, but didn't mind gaining screen real estate. This seems to solve both problems, I think.
Do you guys have folders beyond one level now? I signed up for the beta (?) a while back but stopped using it once I saw folders couldn't be created beyond one level.
You can group folders. Just click + next to your avatar. You can't put stuff to groups itself, but you can gather folders in it, open it, close it, customize it and so on.
Seems like a great idea. Small thing - I registered with Facebook and accepted the read permissions, but refused the write permissions (sorry, no apps get write permissions). Instead of saying "ok, we'll just ask again when you actually want to post something to Facebook," Dragdis just dropped me at a screen saying that I absolutely must give write permissions.
That should change. You should ask for write permissions, but if it's refused, ask again when it becomes necessary.
Having played with it a bit more: very nice!
I'm particularly impressed with the onboarding. Installing the extension was painless, and the quick tutorial was great.
Also, I was asked to agree to your terms and privacy policy...yet couldn't actually view either. When I attempted to register without acceptance, I was told I must accept, but still no indication of what I was actually agreeing to:
'If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, the practices of this site, or your dealings with this site, please contact us at:' was mentioned twice. Hurray copy and paste?
Would be very nice if we could see that lateral bar by clicking somewhere instead of having to go to the site or something like that. I think it would be great to replace the normal browser bookmarks and I would definitively use. Are you guys thinking on doing this?
This thing is simply awesome. I've been looking for an easy way to group things I read / discover online, but actual offering seems to only allow URL saving. The possibility to save parts of a Website (quotes (keeping the source), videos, images or anything draggable) is simply awesome and logical.
Thanks for this wonderful tool, I'll definitely use it in the future.
This would be extra great if we could integrate it with Evernote.
I already do similar stuff with the Evernote Clipper for saving content, but if I could also share on social networks and do the Evernote clipping in the same workflow it would probably remain installed.
Awesome. Even more awesome : integration with trello.
But I'll definitely use it.
Is storage size a concern? I understand that the pictures are actually stored in Dragdis.
i have just deleted "twitter and facebook" under "Drag to" folder. and i found no options to get them back. i could only creat a folder but not the app like twitter and facebook?
Small quibble about the video. This is not hacker-attentional grade. With the sound off, I lose interest when I fail to see content by the 5s mark. (Just some model bouncing around an apartment she could never afford on a model's salary.)
Small quibble about your comment. This product is not made just for hackers so how about we cut them some hacker slack and concentrate on actual praise or critique of the product/implementation?
Cheers
P.S. This would have been great as part of a product I made a couple of years ago. Nice job guys!
Right. If HN is so sensitive to critique that something introduced as a 'small quibble' -- a marketing tip, from someone who has been there -- then you, HN, have jumped at least one shark, and probably several other marine macrofauna.
Ummmm I'll respond to the first part of this comment since I'm not smart enough to understand the reference in the second part.
Your comment was snark disguised as a critique. Remove "This is not hacker-attentional grade" and the stuff about the model bouncing around and something about the affordability of the apartment (maybe you have something against models bouncing around in expensive apartments) -- The rest of your comment actually is a good tip. :)
ok I don't even know what that means. My point was the OP was showing a product and as "hackers" we tend to (should?) give feedback on the product being shown. As a "hacker" I would assume you would take into consideration a marketing video is not targeted towards "hackers" and not fixated on it enough to have a quibble with it. I was wrong. Maybe you're not a product person and would like every product to market itself with hacker grade videos.
This looks beautiful and I can see this becoming indispensable quickly.
I wish you guys did a better job of explaining what your app will do with write permissions to Facebook. I played around with it a bit, and it doesn't look like things I bookmark get posted to my News Feed or anything like that, but I don't know for sure.
It would be nice if this was super clear when signing up.
Soo... what exactly happens with write permissions? :)
It obviously is for the MAC user, who wants one button, one motion for everything and the ability to see under the hood abstracted away. Great product if they make it a bit more transparent as to what is going on and add more customization.
So it says nowhere if this works for something else than a MAC. So I'm not gonna go through the trouble of signing up if I don't know before hands if it's working for windows and if it's free.
Since I'm here to give a real critic I still signed up :)
It's amazing! You should make it clear that it is a browser extension though. And is it backed somewhere or does all my data dies when I reset firefox?
Also I don't really like that I can't browse through what I saved through the sidebar.

Nicely done, but definitely need some export/backup feature, or self hosted version.
What I hate is the soccer mom in the video, and the clean polished look that doesn't match the cool name.
Maybe they could get Die Antwoord as celebrity spokespeople or something. If Ninja and Yolandi say something's good, it probably is.

great idea! i'm putting this on my weekend-projects list

Or at least, that's what I'm getting from your comment.
I have family that leave browser tabs open for days because bookmarks are too unwieldly for them to manage. It causes a host of problems.
This is the best solution I've seen that elegantly solves the local bookmarks problem.
So thanks for making it. I'm excited to watch this app grow over the next few years. I think it is going to flourish.
