Hey everyone 😸
My name is Ryan, and I'm excited to share a project I've been working on called Recall. Recall is a Chrome extension that allows you drop comments onto any website and tag others to join the discussion. Think of it as a social post-it note that you can leave anywhere on the internet.
I've been fascinated by the idea of a commenting layer on top of the internet. Today, when you want to discuss something you find online, you have two options - you can post to social media, where you have little control over the resulting discussion, or you can post privately in a group chat, where the discussion quickly gets buried. On top of that, many online publications have disabled comment sections on their articles, which used to be the most interesting place to understand diverse perspectives.
Recall makes it easy to start meaningful conversations with whoever you choose right in the margins or any webpage.
This has been a night and weekend project, and is very much a v1! For now, Recall relies on your Google contacts to let you tag others in your notes (you can also share a link to your note with anyone). I can imagine Recall eventually working with your other social graphs to enable you to tag your Twitter/X followers or newsletter subscribers, for example.
Please give Recall a try and post your candid feedback.
