Why not use Lyft?

While leisure is great for human creativity, does that necessarily mean it is an advantage over robot creativity?

Do they need more than US approval to launch satellites into international space?

I came for this comment. Seems like it was named after the act of people leaving other social networks, but what about if everyone really had left and was using Diaspora?

2, 3, and 5 seem to be problems that only occur at scale so it seems odd to focus on solving these in the beginning when the nascent social network wouldn't be big enough to even have a breath of these symptoms.

Founder here. Bookmark OS is a passion project that I’m building because I got tired of the linear and crappy UIs of almost every bookmark manager. It is an attempt to bring the ease of use, elegance, and power of a GUI like Mac or Windows to bookmarks.

I submitted the first basic version of Bookmark OS here 2 years ago and since then a ton of work has gone into it based on user feedback. Here are some of the highlights:

  - Folder suggestions will attempt to predict the folder a bookmark should go using AI and NLP. This helps avoid creating different folders with the same content (for example, a "coding" and a "programming" folder) and makes it super fast to find the right folder.
  - Keyboard shortcuts (inspired by vim): opening a bookmark has never been faster. For example, press "a" for "All" bookmarks, then the down arrow and then "enter" to open the latest bookmark.
  - Customize icon view: change icon size, font size, spacing, and line height to your liking.
  - Customize list view: change the order of columns and show/hide columns.
  - You can now see a bookmark’s parent folder in a column when viewing all and searching. This makes it easy see where a bookmark lives and easily open the folder with a click.
  - Folder sharing: share a folder of bookmarks that cannot be edited or collaborate on a folder with a friend.
  - Tags and folders work together: for example, if you activate a "to read" tag, only folders that have a bookmark with a "to read" tag nested inside will show.

In terms of tech stack, I’ve tried to stay vanilla as possible to keep things simple. For the front end no framework is used, just jQuery and Bootstrap. On the backend, Rails, Sidekiq, Redis, and Postgresql. Right now, Postgresql is being used for search as well and it works great.

And lastly, Bookmark OS is subscription based and has a healthy paying userbase for longevity.

There are more features on the way, so let me know if you have any suggestions or questions!

I wouldn't call this a failure of capitalism necessarily, you could also blame it on a failure of social policies.

Wasn't this submitted already? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15099041 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14522439 How are you able to do 'Show HN' in such recent succession?

What was the dating site I wonder?

Bookmark OS is being featured on Product Hunt right now!

What about the ratio of human drivers to autonomous drivers since the crash? Not exactly 1:1...

No, because that would be property damage.

Sounds like the octopus from Finding Dory!

Now I just can't stop thinking about the comparison between humans and ants.

What about using voip such as Google voice?

I use Icomoon extensively, it works great.

Can you give some examples of Tesla's low reliability?

I agree. When we have self-driving cars, why would a drone be cheaper then having a self-driving truck drive around and drop stuff off? Also, I don't see a drone bridging the last step to your doorstep. What if it's a large package such as an air conditioner? There's so many odd package shapes and sizes. Why not just a robot picking up the package and walking it to the door? Then you could sign for packages as well.

I'll never go out of business. I'm a full stack web dev, so it doesn't cost me much to keep it running. Plus, I really want this site for myself, so I'll never let it go away!

Export is important. You can do that now in Settings.

Thanks for the feedback! This will likely end up a Pro feature in the future with the ability to search the page content as well.

Thanks for the support!

Oh, cool!

Can you please specify what exact thing would make you want to keep using bookmarks in your browser? Is it the convenience of the browser save that you like?

Is the backup automated?

Cool! It would be awesome if you could have the SQLite3 database file backed up somehow

Hi Hacker News, BookmarkOS is an online desktop for organizing, sorting, and browsing your bookmarks. Quick origin, I eventually gave up trying to keep my Chrome bookmarks organized and started dragging urls to my desktop and discovered that using a GUI is a great way to manage bookmarks.

For example, can't find a bookmark you opened last week? Click 'View all' and sort by last opened. Also, for me, it's easier to find a bookmark by visualizing where it is versus having to guess with search or tags. And browsing my bookmarks on BookmarkOS is a new habit that I never did before. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback on the site. Also, the site is currently on Product Hunt!

Cheers, Dave

We you running Sidekiq? If so, was it able to run on the same droplet?

Uber is already pretty much limited to major metropolitan areas, so maybe Uber would really only need map data in these consolidated areas. At least to start.
