Haters gunna hate, but I like the spirit of the presentation.
This is better than a flashy flat one-page design with a lot of color and no substance. It's more personal, and is a unique touch. I know why he created the product, what it does, and how to get it.
As for the product itself, I think there's a real need for better bookmark organization that's done well. I'm not sure if this is it, because from the features exhibited it seems a lot like just using Evernote Web Clipper. I'd like to see features that help organize my bookmark folders better, maybe using tags for links and folders or some other creative organization tactic. Evernote WC can do this, but it doesn't do it in a lightweight way where I can get good overview of my links.
Better yet, having a relation graph would be nice too--grouping by links added in a certain session or around a certain concept. For example, I want to find all of the links I found when I was looking up "CSS vertically centering div".
Anyway, great work OP.
- desouzt 13y ago+1 - totally agree. It's good to see a product described in a different, fresh way. Bugs me when people criticise people's projects, when half the time they've done little themselves.

- donw 13y agoAllow me to explain (my) hate. I saw this while browsing from my phone at a coffee shop and thought to myself, "hey, bookmarks are a pain in the ass, let's have a look" The product could be awesome, but it took so long to get to the point that I gave up, and when I did, my history was completely full of worthless slides that it was easier to close the tab than go back. This presentation is a great example of bad design. It wastes the readers time by failing to convey useful information quickly. I am forced to sit through a seemingly endless stream of totally worthless transitions and effects. A presentation like this reflects very badly on the product it represents. It assumes that it is more important than me, the person on the other end of the keyboard.
- Turing_Machine 13y agoSo you're saying it should be designed more like http://www.piku.jp/ http://www.piku.jp/ then? :-)
- donw 13y agoUnless you're planning on selling coupons in Japan for a startup that I worked with three years ago, then hell no. It should be designed like Instapaper.
- erid 13y agoI like the idea of tagging links, it would make looking for bookmarks way easier.
