Thanks for the feedback! Re: ambiguity / cross-functional roles: very good point, you're absolutely right about the usefulness of some sort of role blend indicator. I think there's enough data to work on that. Definitely something I'll look into.

Your input as a technical job seeker is very helpful too, gave me a couple of ideas...

Cheers

Hello everyone. I work as a researcher for startups and other companies, and I know how many people struggle to come up with new business ideas. I believe there are still many problems to tackle; we just need to look closer.

So, to help everyone interested in starting a company (and also expand my coding skills and understand how to use generative AI), I built Big Startup Ideas, a database of business ideas for real-world problems. The backend AI-based app uses real-world data (economic, market, and consumer behavior coming from online sources) to generate the business ideas.

This is it: https://bigstartupideas.com

It took some time to develop and improve data gathering, but it is still quite basic (it was mostly the learning curve). The app is a gpt wrapper in part, but it has its own set of rules to identify problems and produce ideas more systematically.

The database is free to browse, and there is an ebook with a curated set of ideas for just a few bucks. But it's still a side project.

I appreciate your comments and hope you find at least one idea that inspires you!

It'd be more interesting if it was a pay-per-use pricing model, e.g.: $0 the first n calls (to try the service, even if it's for commercial purposes) and then $0.0016 per call of whatever you want to charge

No free sample?

Thanks for the feedback! The bookmarklet should actually work on both desktop and mobile. Please consider that bookmarking on Chrome (Android) requires you to type the name you used when creating the bookmarklet into the browser's address bar to bookmark a web page. You may want to reach out directly: k at klobie.com if it still gives you a hard time.

Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback! Please contact me (k at klobie.com) if you still encounter any issue when signing up/logging in.

Thanks for the feedback! Would you rather have the entire board with bookmarks, notes, etc. all in markdown keeping the structure (cards, etc.) or just the list of bookmarks in markdown?

Thanks for your feedback. Having trouble with Firefox? Something specific?

No worries, your feedback is helpful!

I hope you have the chance to try it then :)

Thanks! A connection with Google search does sound interesting! I'll look into it. Feel free to contact me directly if you try the app and have questions.

Thanks for sharing these!

Hey thanks for asking. That's not an option though, at least for now :) But do let me know if there is any other feature that could help with tagging in the meantime!

Hey sorry for this, the bug was fixed already, please go ahead and try it :)

Thanks for reporting!

Thanks! No plan for subscriptions. I look forward to receiving more feedback if you use it (feel free to reach out directly to me).

Thanks! I really appreciate your feedback.

Re: title: it actually is auto populated when you bookmark a webpage with the bookmarklet AND the webpage has a title. Let me know if I'm missing something here.

Re: topics: yes! You are absolutely right, I'm fixing that asap.

Thanks! I'm glad you found a bookmarking tool that works for you. But please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly to discuss what features would make you consider using klobie. Cheers.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the inconvenience!

The sign-up page actually does include the password requirements: "The password must be at least 8 characters long and include upper and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols."

In sum: * 8 chars long minimum * include all of these: upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols

I do realize that such a combination of characters is somewhat hard to remember compared to simpler passwords. I'll consider options to simplify all this.

I appreciate your feedback.

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. I'm not familiar with all those tools, but yes, the idea here is bookmarks for now.

I get what you say about boards with too many topics/bookmarks. I've been thinking of different ways to display information, so this kind of feedback is very useful!

Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback. No plans for monetization yet.

If you decide to try it, I look forward to receiving more feedback and feature requests!

Thanks! I'll take a look, it does seem to be active.

Thanks! I'll work on this soon, it's going up on my to-do list.

Sorry for the inconvenience! I still need to implement that feature (I know, it's important). Would you like to sign up again using the same username? Please contact me at k at klobie.com and I'll make sure you can access/use the tool. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm glad you find it useful!

What browser do you use? Once you created the bookmarklet, you can move it to your e.g. "bookmarks bar" in Chrome and it's pretty handy (that's my current set up).

I'll consider your navigation suggestion – any specific reason why you prefer to click on the logo to go back to your home page rather than the username? Any problem with the interface? Visibility?

Each board has its own set of bookmarks and topics. If you want to save a bookmark to multiple boards, you'll need to do save it to each one of them. Sorry for that – this is at least for now, a copy bookmark function is an option that I'll consider.

I'll be here if you have questions, or you may want to just send an email to the contact email (address here: https://klobie.com/help)

Thanks again!

Interesting. Thanks for pointing this out!

Interesting, thanks! May I ask you what's your field of research? Or is just personal, general web research?

Thanks! Great points.

My specific use case is doing initial, exploratory web research to work on company, industry and market analysis. This initial phase requires reviewing many sources and identifying the "important bits" that will help structure the main project. I take notes for that, at the bookmark, topic and board (theme) level. I get what you say, the wording of the one-liner maybe doesn't reflect all possible use cases, or even properly describe my own! I'll consider options for this.

The idea of address bar integration is terrific.

Thanks again for the feedback!

Thanks! Data import is at the top of the pending features, and plan to work on it within the next week. I'll look into those two sources and see what I can do.

Great point. I wonder if you use bookmarking to save URLs "just in case"? When you are on mobile, and then return to the website when you have more time for that? Any other use case?

In my use case, it's a matter of organization. But totally get what you say, classifying things into buckets is extra work. I'll consider options to address this but, would adding a topic "later" be a temporary solution to you? Then you can edit bookmarks' topics as you please, but they would initially appear under the same card corresponding to the topic "later".

Thanks for the feedback!

Got it.

I just wonder...

Storing web pages has a cost.

Having notes for each bookmark (which I usually use to record key data points I find in web pages), and also notes at the topic and board levels (which can be used for similar purposes): is there still any benefit (above cost) of keeping an exact copy of the webpage you bookmarked?

I guess it all depends on what's the chance of needing to go back to older bookmarks to re-visit something, right?

Thanks for your feedback!
