Ask HN: Does this curation tool exist?

2 points by DanLivesHere 12 years ago | 3 comments

Hi HN!

I'm looking to create a one-page website which is just curated links organized by topic. Ideally, it'd be driven by a bookmarklet similar to the old del.icio.us one. I'd click the bookmarklet, title and categorize the link, and it'd be added to the page. I could re-order/remove categories and links from the page through the page itself.

Does this exist anywhere?

I haven't written the bookmarklet and the site is going through a redesign to use an API but what you just mentioned is my bookmark manager that doesnt require you to be registered or logged in to explore it. It is called Mark my place and it is located at www.markmyplace.com. If you begin to use it I will take into account any changes you want for the redesign. The redesign is supposed to shift everything to the website's front page, and be completely driven by AJAX but if you look at it you can see the potential. It would be nice to have a user to develop for who wasn't just me. Thanks for your time.

Try http://tldr.io/discover - it uses a chrome extension and lets users summarize content (the content also has a nice HN rollover that shows you the summaries of stories). The web page has the summarized links organized by category. You can also use it to summarize your own blog (via an embed). (I have no relation to tldr.io, but I just like the tool).
