Been using Refind the last couple weeks. Working really well, also when on the go since I can easily save links directly from Safari on iOS.
I also use Pinboard, but Refind shows me links from people and tags I follow and this has proven to be a valuable stream of interesting articles that have a big overlap with my interests.
Excited to see what the future brings :)
This reminds me of the long-gone startup Lookmark, which I really thought was an amazing bookmark tool: https://www.crunchbase.com/organ...
As a writer, what I would like to see is an emphasis on more than just the techies out there. This kind of fits this bill but I think its limitations make it kind of tough to jump into on a daily basis. This, on the other hand, is really good at collecting ideas and tying them all together—the social layer Pocket has always been missing, in a way. I also like that Buffer is built in. Cheers!
Love this, was actually half-heartedly working on something similar a while back. The main differences were:
1) requiring a description for each link (enables thoughtful response, dis-incentivizes posting 100 links/day); and
2) automatically compiling the links posted each day/week by people a user follows into an email newsletter for the user.
basically Benedict Evans' newsletter, but for everyone: http://ben-evans.com/#newsletter
@cjl49 Thanks for sharing this, Calvin!
1) I was thinking about that too but I want to make it low friction when saving links and let the algorithm manage the ranking/de-noising.
2) There is a weekly digest which shows the top 10 best links from the people and tags you follow (opt-out). There's even a daily digest (opt-in) which surprisingly many people have turned on :) You can turn on/off in the settings: https://refind.com/settings
I really hope you like it. You've given this space a lot of thought, please let me know if you miss anything.
@irvingtorresyc Reddit is more about news. Of course you can save news on Refind too, but it’s more about classics – links with long shelf lives, links you want to find again later. Also, Reddit is not for keeping/archive. We try to describe how we believe it fits into today's landscape here: https://refind.com/home#difference
Great tool I write a ton of content for my main biz Collaborative Office Environments and we have two startups coming on board in 2106. This will make my life simpler Have already downloaded the chrome extension to work with This along with Contentools is going to make my life one hell of a lot easier as I trade links all day long
@todkiry Hi Tod. Yes, you can follow tags and your feed will show best links from the people AND tags you follow. You can follow tags explicitly on `/following` (or menu > Following), and you implicitly follow tags you use when saving a link (but you can unfollow, of course). Or you can hover over any tag you see on links and click `Follow`. Works?

@dominikg Would it replace Pinboard?It too has a network feature to discover links and Pocket/Instapaper integration.Also full webpage archival option.
@htnawsaj Pinboard is great, but I don't know it very well. Main difference I see is discovery, which is quite an important aspect of Refind (i.e., your feed) and is emphasized more than on Pinboard?
