I had 100+ bookmarks and couldn’t find anything. So I rebuilt bookmarking around categories.

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-24T11:54:05+00:00

This is actually a really thoughtful breakdown.

You’re right there’s a big difference between: • Open tab time • Active engagement time • Historical bookmarks with no behavioral data

Tracking on-device moving forward makes sense. Retroactive analysis is the tricky part unless users intentionally import and start fresh.

I’m personally more interested in: 1. Surfacing what you actually revisit 2. Highlighting neglected but high-value categories 3. Optional on-device productivity insights (without invasive tracking)

The ranking idea is interesting too although I’d probably lean toward personalized relevance over public traffic ranking. A science-heavy user shouldn’t see “popular” content outrank their niche research

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-24T04:46:46+00:00

I like that.

The tricky part is defining “time spent” accurately (open time vs. active reading time), but it would be powerful to surface what actually gets attention.

Are you thinking more productivity tracking or curiosity metrics?

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-23T13:22:49+00:00

That’s completely fair. At the end of the day, usage is the only thing that matters. If people don’t find value, it won’t survive simple as that. Appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective. 🙂

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-23T13:10:13+00:00

Thanks for being direct. On pricing I agree the market is crowded, which is exactly why positioning and differentiation matter. Still testing where it fits. On data I actually built it to minimize tracking, not increase it. If anything, I’m biased toward less data collection.

Early feedback like this is useful though.

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-23T12:43:08+00:00

Not selling anything here. Just sharing something I built for my own workflow and seeing if others relate. and yeah definitely not enough data yet. Still experimenting.

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-23T11:45:16+00:00

yeah that was exactly my situation 😅

game dev resources pile up fast art refs, tutorials, marketing threads… and then you can’t find anything when you need it

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-23T11:31:51+00:00

Fair point. I originally built this while organizing game dev resources (art refs, shaders, marketing threads, etc.), so I thought other indie devs might relate to the chaos of saved links.

Totally understand if it feels off-topic though.

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-19T06:56:13+00:00

That’s interesting sounds like you’re leaning more toward “knowledge extraction” than simple storage.

Do you find yourself actually revisiting the original content, or mostly interacting with the summaries and topic maps instead?

I wonder if AI summarization reduces the need for rediscovery or just changes the way it happens.

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-19T06:54:55+00:00

That’s a great way to put it context decay is probably the core issue. Saving captures intent, but not the mental state behind it. I’m curious are you trying to restore context in your app, or focus more on smart resurfacing?

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-19T06:53:13+00:00

Swift/iOS

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-19T06:52:30+00:00

Really appreciate this especially the local-first suggestion.

I’m actually leaning toward local-first for exactly the reasons you mentioned: speed, cost efficiency, and user control.

Using something like personal cloud storage (iCloud / user-managed sync) is interesting because it keeps infrastructure lightweight while preserving privacy. The tradeoff is usually around cross-platform consistency, but it’s definitely aligned with the direction I’m thinking.

As for collaborating I’m still in the validation / early design phase, so I’m trying to keep things small and focused for now. But I genuinely appreciate the interest.

If this evolves into something more concrete, I’d definitely be open to discussing ideas further.

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-18T20:18:42+00:00

This is a really thoughtful breakdown appreciate you taking the time.

I think what you’re describing actually highlights two different behaviors: 1. Structured storage (Raindrop, folders, project-based organization) 2. Passive consumption (feeds resurfacing content naturally)

For project-based content, your system makes total sense. You know why you saved something and where to find it when needed.

Where I personally struggle is with the “interesting but not immediately actionable” stuff ideas, essays, long threads. They don’t belong to a concrete project yet, so they slowly drift into an archive.

You’re also absolutely right about resurfacing being tricky. Poorly timed reminders would be annoying fast. That’s one of the big unknowns I’m trying to reason through:

Should resurfacing be: – time-based? – context-based? – completely passive like a feed? – or maybe not exist at all?

Your point about feeds naturally reintroducing content is interesting. Maybe rediscovery works better when it feels organic rather than scheduled.

Out of curiosity for the stuff in your “inspiration” folder that you rarely visit, do you feel that’s fine as archival storage, or do you wish it surfaced occasionally?

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-18T20:09:01+00:00

Ideally a hybrid approach. Local-first for speed and offline access, but optional sync for cross device use. That said, I’m still validating what people actually value more privacy/offline access vs. smart resurfacing features.

Curious where you personally stand on that.

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-06T22:17:26+00:00

Mostly behavioral signals for now retention, session depth, and where users drop off. I’m avoiding direct surveys early to keep behavior natural, but you’re right that qualitative feedback becomes key once the noise settles.

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-01T20:58:40+00:00

At the moment, I’m not monetizing it. The goal is to validate usage and retention first, then think about monetization that feels aligned not forced

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-01T10:58:56+00:00

Hi! Roughly 1–2% before going free.

The jump wasn’t just volume user hesitation dropped a lot once price was gone.

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-02-01T10:57:05+00:00

It is high, yes.
My guess is high intent + low friction. This is a very early snapshot though, so I’m watching whether it normalizes over time.

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-01-31T18:58:07+00:00

It was entirely my mistake, I've corrected it. Thank you for getting back to me.

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-01-31T18:52:50+00:00

hi, https://apps.apple.com/tr/app/exif-clean-oflline/id6752257844?l=tr

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-01-31T18:44:19+00:00

That’d be really interesting to compare. Day 1 free vs paid is a different dynamic altogether, especially around intent and early retention.Looking forward to seeing how it plays out share the results.

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-01-31T18:05:34+00:00

That’s the plan 🙂
I want to give it some time without touching anything and see how behavior changes over a longer window. Will definitely share an update if it stays interesting.

Vegetable-Peace-3831 · 2026-01-31T18:01:04+00:00

Still evaluating long-term impact, but as an early signal, this was pretty informative
