Not to be discouraging, but: what does this offer me that Pinboard doesn't?

The fact that this great question hasn't been answered yet is a bad sign.

I disagree. So what if this is a similar service? Some might prefer some of the minor differences this offers instead.

There's certainly no shortage of companies offering very similar products and doing well for themselves.

If only I could try their service, without entering my credit card info, then I would have loved to try their official Firefox add-on. Because Pinboard add-on is the part of Pinboard I dislike most and maybe the only think I dislike.

And having the minimum plan @ $5 pm (more than I pay for CrashPlan) it's not at all value for money. Maybe it's fair but my needs are lesser.

All these bookmarking services, including yours, don't allows the importation of Google Starred Items, Gmail Starred Items, Chrome Bookmarks, Firefox Bookmarks, or Evernote extraction so that you can reorganize then, download them, THEN sync them across devices AND you want $5/month?

Just a heads up. The logo looks like this on a retina display: http://i.imgur.com/eERXdzo.png

Not sure why you'd add meeting information to a note - assume you don't have alerts built in + isn't that what a calendar's for?

I'd also be interested to know what you think your USP is - not sure "we've focused very much on building a solid product that looks and feels native and runs fast" is enough. If anything it should be a given.

You have Stripe ready to take people's credit card information but you don't have About section describing your information.

Hey webwanderings, co-founder here.

We're gonna be putting up our about info really soon but we wanted to get the product out as soon as we could to get some initial users.

The demo video gives a good overview of what app looks and feels like.

Okay thanks. i always get nervous seeing new product launches on HN without About section. The bookmarking field makes me even more nervous. I am one of those who would rather keep my bookmarks to myself, thanks all to Delicious experience.

There's been some interesting bookmarking apps lately, yours included. The question is how are you going to get traction?

That's gonna be a tough challenge but we've focused very much on building a solid product that looks and feels native and runs fast.

You're right there are many bookmarking apps and most of them are really good so we are taking a stab at a problem that's been solved many times before. ;)

One last suggestion: subtitles on the video. I watched the video but wasn't really sure what kind of functionality is was and how it would benefit me.

Then again, I have a touch of ADD, so I may be your 'worst case scenario'.

I wish you success!

No, I agree with this and no ADD. I don't know what I'm looking at, it's too small to read what's being moved around - nice music, though. Very relaxing.

No syncing or plugins for Firefox to be seen = me not caring about paying you that much.

Actually, we do sync your bookmarks across every device you use. The Firefox plugin is available as both an addon from the Addons Center and XPI file for direct install.

Did you have any problems installing the plugin, or did you just have trouble finding the page that links to it?

Just had trouble seeing the links to the add-on center. Excuse me then, I stand corrected.

Are using a modified version of Foundation? I love the UI of this site. Great job.

They appear to be using Bootstrap (slightly modified).

I like it. Looks great. I'm not ready to spent $5 a month on it yet.
