How much do you plan to charge when you launch later? Do we get to keep our free account if we start using it today? I want to use this tool but I don't want to import my highlights only to export it again later.

Hello PH, Isaac here! Blipps.io was started because Daniel and I didn’t know what to do with highlights on our Kindles - sounds familiar? For avid readers and Kindle users, we have had to deal with websites with old-school designs or build our own manual systems to catalog our reading. We designed a new way to discover new books - rather than only reading reviews, take a look at what others are highlighting. By getting a taste of the book, we can make a more informed decision about our next reading adventure. Our web app provides a facelift of existing platforms, with the following features: 📲 Import highlights from Kindle 📖 Highlights are automatically organized into books 😍 Generate highlights into screen savers or post them on social media 👯 Add friends and explore their highlights 👀 Join individual books clubs to see what everyone else has highlighted If you are a bookworm or a Kindle user with tons of highlights, we are really excited for you to give us a try! Quick update(30 November 2022): We have added upload functionalities for Kobo readers as well as manual entries for people who read paperback books. Additionally, we can now engage in book discussions in book clubs!

Hello PH, Daniel here! I have joined Isaac in building Blipps. We are releasing an initial version of the application with the ability to manage highlights from your Kindle device. But we are working to expand sources where highlights can come from (e.g. other eBook readers or a browser web extension) — imagine reading an article online and then highlighting parts of the article to immediately store it in Blipps for future reference. We are working on adding the following key features to Blipps soon: 📚 Kobo and other e-reader imports 📚 Web extension for web content highlights 📚 Export highlights to external platforms 📚 Tagging of highlights for categorization 📚 Book discussions On revenue: our current approach would be through Amazon affiliate links from users looking to buy books they have discovered on Blipps. Today we are extending an invite to the PH community to try out Blipps and would absolutely love feedback on what you love or hate about Blipps. Help us improve your current experience!
