As an avid user of X.com (formerly Twitter) I often use their bookmarking feature to save bookmarks i want to revisit or recall at a later date. The problem is, due to their very linear bookmark-folder system, it makes this task very tricky. Especially as you start to use it more and more. Fed up of waiting for X/Twitter to implement a better feature, and having used other, more generic bookmarking tools, I decided to build one specifically for my x/twitter bookmarks. Something super simple/streamlined, that made saving and exploring my favourite posts a breeze. So, meet BookmarkX! - The goal is to allow users to easily save their posts via tags & collections. With a goal to make it easier and easier to save posts, and more powerful to find the ones you want. As I built this product for myself and consider myself a core user, i'm adding features on a weekly basis that make the saving and exploring process better and better. Give it a whirl and let me know what you think!

@kieranparker77 Congrats on BookmarkX! The way it streamlines saving and organizing bookmarks is impressive. Have you considered leveraging AI for smart categorization or content recommendations? Also, could integrating shared collections make it more social, enabling users to discover posts via community-curated tags?

@tonyabracadabra Thank you so much! Yes, leveraging AI to improve the experience is high up on the roadmap. And something i really want to integrate. As for the community features, that is an interesting idea! I am going to add this to the roadmap too - what use cases do you forsee using this for yourself?

@kieranparker77 you should check out tw-rl. :) Also, if you subscribe to X Premium, you get access to Bookmark Folders. Are you a Premium X subscriber? Do you offer import or sync with existing bookmark folders?

Hey @chrismessina! tw-rl looks interesting! Love their simplistic approach/styling. There are a LOT of bookmarking tools out there that i love (And i use a few myself such as Cosmos, Eagle, etc) but as someone who likes to keep my social/tweets separate from my creative/work, a tool dedicated to just social (and in this case x.com specifically) is what i really wanted/needed. I do subscribe to X Premium, but I feel their bookmark folders are a little linear. and difficult to navigate/explore when you have 100s/1000s of bookmarks. (I also conducted a few user surveys etc and it seems a lot feel a lot of friction when using the built in folder system) The folders are clunky, hard to edit/manage and based on user interviews feel more like a "save and forget" than a place to actually revisit etc. I dont offer import of existing bookmarks just yet. I dont want to mass import and clutter a users dashboard. However once i solve that (and any bulk editing/selection) it will be added as i feel bulk import (and maybe even a natural import) would be extremely beneficial!

Do you have in a plan to create something similar for Bluesky as well?
Kieran Parker
Maker
@busmark_w_nika I have only just started using Bluesky, but i can absolutely see a need for this within that tool too. Will likely build this and fold it into the extension for allowing it on Bluesky too! Do you think it would be best to keep the two separate on the dashboard, or one single feed?
Nika
@kieranparker77 Separate with the option to customise two feeds (Bluesky/Twitter) next each other. :)

Does the extension work seamlessly across multiple browsers? I switch between Chorme and Edge often, so cross-compatibility is key for me.
Kieran Parker
Maker
@lonny_shatzel It should do! But if you notice any issues let me know and i'll fix it as top priority as a lot of core users tend to swap between browsers too.

Congrats on the launch, @kieranparker77! It's been fun to watch you build this quickly and ship. Can't wait to dive in and try it out.

@mason_w Thanks so much mate! Can;t wait to add additional features and really make it something special!

@kieranparker77 Congratulations on launching BookmarkX! This is exactly the kind of tool that I have been waiting for. The pain point you're addressing is very real - the current linear bookmarking system on X can become unwieldy, especially for power users who save lots of content. I particularly love how you've approached this from a user's perspective, building something you needed yourself. Keep up the great work on those weekly feature updates! 🚀

@maybemonad Thank you so much for the kind words! TBH im just so glad im not the only one who struggles with the bookmarking system on x.com haha

This is a great tool, but it would be amazing to have an offline mode to access saved bookmarks even without internet. Is that something on your roadmap?
Kieran Parker
Maker
@mikkel_banner Probably not - im not sure how id manage that without building a stand alone app?
John McFarland
Handy thanks!
Roj Niyogi
great idea - i think this should be an ad-supported product though (or at least have both options really)
Kieran Parker
Maker
@niyogi This is a fair point - and maybe something i explore down the line to open up the free model (Sell an ad placement every "x" cards) but to start off its difficult to gain that traction to sustain long enough to success.
