The app lets you submit a page via a bookmarklet, then emails you a link to the page one week later. It's really useful for saving HN comment threads. HN commenting dies down within a week, so you won't miss any good comments.
- jsavimbi 16y agoSo it's Everlater for HN? Seems like it wouldn't be all that useful outside of that context, since you've made timing the differentiating feature.
- dwwoelfel 16y agoAre you talking about this: http://www.everlater.com/ http://www.everlater.com/? Can you explain the similarity please? The purpose of Reminder Bear is to go back to sites that will see some update in a week's time. It's not just for HN, you can use it on any web page that you want to be updated on. Most discussion on the web ends after a week, and if it's still going strong you can resubmit it to check next week. Here are the things I've used it for so far: Forums that I'm not subscribed to Sites with comments that don't notify me of replies News stories Reddit threads
- jsavimbi 16y agoMy bad, I meant Evernote. I also see what you're trying to do and albeit a thoughtful exercise, it seems that outside of a niche audience it wouldn't scale these days. There are just too many meaningless threads that will never die out there. Good luck though.
