Skipped my 9-5 to Solve the Bookmarks Problems

TLDR; Frustrated by the bookmarking issues, I too a break from 9-5 and build an app specifically designed for Bookmarking and Sharing https://hyperurls.com Sometime, the links are saved in my Twitter Bookmarks, sometime it is in my Notes App, Sometimes the end up on my phone. I always get frustrated with bookmarking stuff on social media!! Every platform has its own way of saving links, but they all seem to fall short. You can't search through them, share collections easily, or organise them well. I was always my pain and when you're traveling and when I am travelling and come across an interesting article on my phone, it's even more frustrating because you often can't save it without logging in or using a desktop. hence, I too a skipped my 9-5 for a couple of days and designed an app specific to streamlining bookmarks and able to share a bunch of bookmarks using just one single link and did a deep researching and here is what I found out: The Problems which I found in Existing Bookmarking Tools: 1. They don’t focus on a single problem. 2. They are bloated and often not affordable. 3. You can’t save links without logging in. The Bookmarking Mess: We all save a ton of cool content on places like Instagram and Twitter, but: 1. We rarely go back to our bookmarks. 2. The systems are pretty flawed: no good search, no tagging, no simple sharing, and no real organising. Here’s What I Did to solve the Pain Points: I decided to create something to fix this. It’s called HyperURLs, and it’s a tool that puts all your saved links in one place. Whether it’s articles, videos, or websites that inspire you, HyperURLs helps you manage it all. Here’s how: * Centralised Organisation: Keep all your (not just) social media links together. * Easy Access: No more endless scrolling. Use filters and search tools to find what you need. * Simple Sharing: Share collections of links with anyone, regardless of the platform they use. * On the Go Sharing: Save any link from the internet using a TelegramBot, even when traveling. Why It Helps * Efficiency: No more jumping between apps to find your saved content. * Better Organisation: Use tags and search features to keep things neat. * Easy Sharing: Share your favourite finds with friends, no matter what platform they’re on. So do you think the break which I took from my 9-5 to build the SaaS was worth it?
