readmelater

Just curious what random, interesting project ideas that HN folks got that they'd like to give away so that people with time can pick up and maybe make it reality. I for one have a bunch of ideas that I'll probably would never find time to work on: 1. An open-source Notion alternative that works on top of sqlite files (inside browsers). Basically offline first Notion experience. 2. A webassembly powered extension framework to extend business softwares. 3. A bookmarking system that buffers my reading list and drives me to complete my research on a topic - It materialized to a level but I couldn't make it a full fledged product out of it yet - https://github.com/joelewis/readmelater 4. Port prosemirror's technology to a multi-platform stack like Kotlin - so that someday we'll have a cross platform richtext editor component that products can

I wrote a browser extension that will send weekly digest of bookmarked links to complete your reading list. It's open sourced at https://github.com/joelewis/readmelater I used to have a hosted version running at https://closetab.email but couldn't keep it running. Will look into hosting it again :)

Checkout this project - https://github.com/joelewis/readmelater I used to have a hosted version at https://closetab.email - I'll have to re-host the app again. But it should solve the "bookmarks going into abyss" problem

You are right. But the reason is not because we are broken. It is because our tools are not intelligent enough to compliment our tendency to forget. I didn't find a single bookmarking system that reminded me of links I wanted to read later. I wrote this as a manifesto - https://github.com/joelewis/readmelater and later went on to build a version of that vision not because I wanted to beat that idea to death, but just to scratch my own itch.

I've published the source code if you'd like to contribute/host on your own: https://github.com/joelewis/readmelater
