For the longest time I used to "email to self" interesting stories for reading (through the comments) later.
Then I created tinygem.org [1] to automate this process with a browser bookmarklet. Now I had a place to send stories I want to read later.
Finally I added auto-discovery based on my saved links, because a lot of interesting content gets lost in HN New, Reddit and other places that I simply do not have time to check daily.
This looks pretty sweet! I like the "listen" feature a lot.
I would use your tool, if you had a super simple mobile app that would pop-up as one of the "share to" options in other apps. For example, I am on Android and whenever I come across a useful link or story, e.g., in a HN app (I use Hews), I tap "share" and select Pushbullet from a list, which saves the links in my Pushbullet account. If Tinygem was one of the options, I can absolutely see myself using it, because Pushbullet is pretty clunky for "knowledge assimilation" (no search, tags, etc.).
I use iOS shortcuts to add custom things to my share menu. For example, I have one to search meta.org, one to create a to do, etc. The cool thing is that it even works on selected text.
I couldn't check to see the feasibility of doing the same with tinygem because the registration page is broken.
tinygem is neat! There have been couple of bookmark proponents in this thread and your tool might add more value to them.
Do you have any stats on how many re-visit their saved bookmarks and in what ratio i.e. saved:retrieved?
I ask this because an acquaintance of mine wanted to build a reddit saved posts manager and I was like 'no-one visits the reddit saved posts again' (or) at-least to an extent where building a platform for it matters; I went on to create a poll on reddit meta subreddit to prove my point.
I was proven wrong as a need-gap for 'Search and organize saved reddit posts/comments'[1] was posted on my problem validation platform with solutions to address the same. Around 2500 people have come to that thread by searching for a solution that problem.
