Congrats on this, cool bookmark tool!
Do you see most users treating the synced bookmarks as a long-term knowledge base in Notion, or more like a dynamic inbox they regularly prune?

@frank_li13 Thanks!
That is the exact dilemma I wanted to solve with the included template.
I see most users adopting a hybrid workflow:
They use the 'Inbox View' as a dynamic holding area to dump open tabs (so they can close the browser without anxiety).
Then, once a week, they triage them—tagging the good ones for the 'Knowledge Base' and deleting the noise.
The extension facilitates the 'Capture' part, and Notion handles the 'Organize' part perfectly!

Great use case, well done team!

@eric_nodeops Thanks!
I don't know if there is a valid use case for this...

@pasha_tseluyko That's a fair point! It’s definitely not for everyone.
I built this primarily for 'digital hoarders' (like myself 😅) and researchers who have hundreds of links buried in Chrome folders. The main use case is turning that messy list into a visual, searchable database in Notion so you actually remember Why you saved them.

Quick question about Bookmark Assistant — it seems like you’re implicitly treating bookmarking as a retrieval problem rather than a saving problem.
A lot of bookmark tools assume users will actively organize or maintain their collections, which rarely happens in practice. From your perspective, what was the key user behavior or insight that made you lean into this more “hands-off” approach?
Asking because that framing feels very grounded in real usage, and I’m curious how others on the team arrived at it.

@rexlian This is spot-on. You absolutely nailed the philosophy behind it.
The key insight (from my own experience as a solo dev) was that bookmarking is often a 'write-only' operation. We save tabs optimistically, thinking we'll organize them later, but 'later' never comes. The friction of manual tagging at the moment of capture is just too high.
So I leaned into the 'Hands-off' approach because I realized that Context (Metadata/Visuals) is what makes retrieval possible, not folders. If the system can auto-capture the Description and Icon, the user doesn't need to organize it to find it later. It shifts the burden from the user to the software.
