Does this rely on an external server (assuming so with the API key) and if so how taxing is it for you, is it just going to become too expensive one day and get shut down, or is operation trivial?
It's a really great idea, I had exactly this problem earlier with reddit (I saw a submission about the redbull stratos jump that had a comment I was interested in, but I couldn't relocate the submission...) and it's happened here before too.
- dcu 14y agoyes, it relies on an external server. This is an app we built for our selves, it solves a problem we all have had before so we are not thinking about killing it. Besides, I am thinking about making it open source so people can easily deploy their own version on heroku for free, it's just a couple of commands. We'll suport reddit once we complete the HN extension, this is our roadmap: - map HN usernames (so you can find people easily) - import saved links - save link to HN discussion
- hardik988 14y agoJust FYI re:Reddit - Reddit has a nifty save button on every thread and comment. You can see your saved links in your profile.
- citricsquid 14y agoYeah, I save lots and it's always the ones that I don't save that I want after the fact, heh :( They have a side bar item that lists the last 5 clicked stories, but it's clientside so it's not helpful either!
