monote - Easily remember and organize products you want to buy

Hi Product Hunters! 👋 Today is a special day for me: I've been actively using PH for years, but this is the first time I'm posting as a Maker - yay! :) ✨ I quit my job in October last year to learn how to code and build something of my own and monote is the result of these last few months! 😔 THE PROBLEM ____ I often stumble upon interesting products on the web, but then can't find them again later. I used to be a big fan of Svpply back in the day, but never found a good alternative when it was shut down (RIP). 😌 THE SOLUTION ____ So I decided to built my own tool: monote is a bookmarking app for products. It's a little a Chrome Extension that lives in your browser and whenever you see something interesting you can quickly add it to your Wants. (If you don't use Chrome you can also add things directly on the site). 📦 ORGANIZE PRODUCTS IN COLLECTIONS ____ Instead of just having one big wishlist, you can organize your products in different collections. I have collections for Books I Want to Read, Furniture I Like (I just moved into a new apartment and don't want to buy the first best thing I see) and keep track of all my belongings (I try to live a minimalistic life style). You can also build collections based on articles, videos, books or podcasts: I often find myself listening to podcasts or reading blog articles that mention a lot of products and wish there was a quick way to find and save them. Here are a few examples: * Marc Andreesen Reading List (https://www.monote.io/collection...) * Blue Bottle Brewing Tools (https://www.monote.io/collection...) * Tim Ferriss' best purchases under $100 (https://www.monote.io/collection...) 🗒FOR LIST JUNKIES ____ All collections are available as lists and let you sort the containing items by name, comment, category or price. Take this collection of all products listed in Tools of Titans for example: You order it alphabetically by product name, by the person who recommended it and by product category. I hope you'll find monote as useful as I do and come up with other clever ideas how to use it :) Happy to answer any questions you might have! PS: I'm a terrible programmer and this is literally the first time I built a product, so if you encounter any bugs (which I'm sure you will) - please let me know! ;)

Design on this is absolutely refreshing. Love the whole style

I'm loving the design. It's an interesting journey of yours from not knowing how to code and now building products like this. Great stuff, Julian.

This looks amazing. However, I noticed there's no search function. I can't search for that Tim Ferriss' collection!

I love the design! 😍 And keen to see where do you grow the product. One suggestion for the design: I only can see 2 of those products in the front-page, I found them a bit big, You may try something smaller to see how it looks?

I have been using it for few weeks and love the idea and the execution. Can't wait for the community to grow to find out more cool things!

Looks great! just an FYI that when trying to use the chrome store foxifier to load your extension in FF it complains about an error at monote.lib.js line 10 column 90 during validation, may want to check it out.

Congrats on officially launching @lehrjulian! Echoing the comments complimenting the style and branding, this is a great product. 👍

Another question Julian! Logo looks really cool, but I'm not sure it reflects what the app is, do you mind sharing what's behind the logo? 🙂 Thanks!

I was one of the lucky ones to be allowed to use Monote during its Beta. What can I say besides that I truly love it!

I have been an avid Svpply user a couple of years back before it was shut down and was waiting for something to replace it - and here it finally is! :D

Pros:

Design obviously, Easiness to use, Practicality

Cons:

Why did it take so long for something to be created to replace the original Svpply!

Soooo useful.

Pros:

It works, it looks nice, I like the logo, Julian is cool

Cons:

I've been waiting for this for years.

Congrats on the launch, @lehrjulian! This is awesome.

Can you not drop all the URL params? e.g. http://www.clubmonaco.com/produc... doesn't work. Also, it's not intuitive to know how to delete things.

OMG I LOVE YOU. No, seriously. I was using a Wish list website but it was horrible. <3

Awesome product! Will you be adding a price drop notification feature sometime soon?

Love the logo, love the UI, love the idea!

Liked the look and your focus, really love the minimalist design. Regarding bugs: when using the Chrome Extension to save products, I noticed that the main image is not suggested, instead some broken/tiny thumbnails e.g. on https://hiutdenim.co.uk/products... maybe try to detect only the largest JPGs on the page?

The design is very pleasing to the eye. Can you please explain why would one use this product over Pinterest?

I think this is a great idea but then I saw the permissions the chrome extension was asking for and decided against downloading it. "Read and change all the data on the websites you visit." Seems a little extreme that its asking for this much data just so I can save some products. I can easily do that in a notebook app instead.

Absolutely great work Julian!

I combine monote with pocket to have all my bookmarks perfectly organized.

You still have some room for improvement, I may suggest:

1) Possibility to delete collections

2) Possibility to drag & drop collections and arrange them on a personalized order.

3) When adding a product, if you don't choose a collection it goes directly to the limbo. It would be awesome to have an "all items" collection by default where you catch it all.

Thanks man and great work!

PS. Business model wise, you could be using affiliate links on the newsfeed or sell top positions directly to e-commerce stores. Avoid dropshippers.

Alright cheers 🍺

Pros:

Minimalist design is just awesome and nice logo ;)

Cons:

Limited features and add-on has troubles to upload products sometimes (need to do direct link from monote.io)
