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! ;)

@lehrjulian I like the simple design, upvoted! Can you tell more about the chrome extension and how you build it (tutorials, sites, links…)? Thank you!

@levelsio +1. The monochromatic design is unique. 👏🏼 The concept also reminds me a bit of Kit.

@levelsio @rrhoover Thanks Ryan :) Kit is awesome, but it always felt more like monetization platform for influencers rather than the bookmarking tool I wanted to use. Definitely a big source of inspiration though (keep up the great work @camillionz & @naveen 👋)

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.

@rafyasarmatta @lehrjulian Wow you learnt to code along the way? Let me guess, were you mainly a designer before? :)

@rafyasarmatta @morajabi Did some coding courses before this and designed websites as a kid, but never built an actual product. My background is more in marketing / biz-dev actually.

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?

@morajabi thanks mohammad! :) interesting feedback: so you mean show 3 or more columns of cards rather than just 2?

@lehrjulian Maybe but I just thought it is a lot of scroll to see more products :)

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.
