Show HN: Mrklt, Kindle-style highlights bookmarklet for the web
http://mrklt.herokuapp.com/
A friend and I threw this together a while ago and I recently decided to get it to a "releasble" state.
We'd appreciate feedback.
- aiurtourist 14y agoThere are tons and tons of "web annoation" tools and services, but none have ever caught on. What makes yours different, and who is your audience?
- eloisius 14y agoThere are quite a few, but all that I've found suck. Cruise this the list[1] and see. They all require a browser extension for highlighting. My audience is anyone who reads in the same way I do. I often want to snip a paragraph from an article or paper and have a quick way to browse through my recent snippets to refresh my memory on what I've read. I don't really care about "social" or seeing community highlights. I just want something to help me digest material faster.

- eloisius 14y agoDoh. Broke a Heroku environment variable. It works now. Thank's for catching it.
- benrhughes 14y agoThanks for fixing it :) The app itself is really nice. Seems to do exactly what I'd expect. Nice and simple. Good work.
