How do you compare this with Memex 2 ? I noticed that this is a single purchase while the other is subscription based (with option to use free) Actually I am using Memex 2 now, and subscribed for their cloud-syncing plan. One of my biggest complain is that Memex 2 currently cannot highlight iframe page, which prevents me to highlight from pinboard.in archival account.

@ybbond I can't speak for Memex but it looks pretty decent. Here's my roadmap for the next 2 weeks: - Add buckets(tags, basically) You can aggregrate - Add PDF support - Auto backups taken everyday. - Better export features About a month from now: - Seperate into 2 different payment options. One time purchase and a monthy plan which will support these functionalities mentioned below. - Sync with different devices(I suppose similar to what Memex does) - Add ability to make a bucket publicly shareable. In general the keys strengths of UnderlineMe are: - A much better and visually strong user interface. - Heavy focus on saving my user's time via a tight feedback loop. - For the one time purchase plan, you don't need to fuss around with a login or anything. Your data is stored locally and it will Just Work. Lastly, Memex is quite a bit ahead of me considering their 2 year lead but I hope to catchup soon. If you want a simple highligher, UnderlineMe is still worth considering. Also, it would be great if you can share the pinboard.in archival link(if its online). I can take a look with my extension and see if it works.

@shash122tfu thank you for taking time to reply! The pdf support is the one I am anticipating highly, I wish you good luck and keep up the good work! unfortunately, the pinboard link is not shareable, and I tried looking for web that uses iframe as its content but haven't found any.

Is there any plan for syncing between computers? Anyway, do you have any plan for user to shift one computer to another?

@jinseong_hwang Heyo, syncing is not on the roadmap. While I don't have any feature in the roadmap to facilitate shifting users from one computer to other, I have other features like export/import on the roadmap to make this possible. Quick question - do you think there's a urgent need for moving notes from one computer to another?

@shash122tfu Not right now. However, I usually switch between my Desktop and laptop.. So, It makes me hesitate to purchase :( I want to suggest you additional feature. If you can provide syncing across dropbox, It will be awesome product than other highlighting apps. Please look through it.

Loving this - Honestly, I feel your pain: The existing note-taking extensions on Chrome suck. The UX on this one is superb. Congrats on the launch!

I would only purchase if it syncs across devices. This is a critical feature to me since I use too many computers.

@choskins780 Hey Christopher I'll be brutally honest - this is not on the roadmap. Syncing is not a easy feature to implement and introduces a lot of edge cases. I've analyzed my competitor's products and except for a few, no one has got this right. Plus, with syncing, there will be a hard server side dependency which means I'll need to charge on a subscription basis. Which will alienate my current customer base. The idea behind UnderlineMe is a Simple browser extension where all your notes are aggregated in a single location. No server side bs, no 'why are my notes not showing up', no subscription pricing.

Hi Producthunt! 🎉 I'm launching a tool for saving text snippets off any webpage and saving it locally in your browser. Commonly called a highlighter tool. It is used for organizing research. Great for Bloggers, Newsletter Authors, Content Curators, etc. Here's the story behind it: I was looking around for a simple extension to save text highlights. Unfortunately most of them: ⚠️ Ask for unnecessarily extensive permissions when installed. ⚠️ Many require a account before they can be used. ⚠️ A few extensions pester you to upsell regularly. ⚠️ All of them have a extremely clunky UI. ⚠️ And almost all of them are dead. After going through many highligher tools, I decided to make my own. UnderlineMe ✅Doesn't beg you to signup for an account ✅Doesn't upsell you nor show you ads ✅Has a functional User Interface for browsing your notes ✅Comes with built-in full text search This is just the first version. New features are cooking behind the scenes: 🤯Organize notes by tags. 🤯Note types(normal text, heading, code, quotes, etc). Also detect note type from selection. Useful for saving code snippets. 🤯Export collection of notes by markdown, html or plain text. I'm launching with a discounted price launch price. You only need to pay once and get access to the tool forever! 👉🏻 https://underlineme.com
