From 1 comment
I like the app. One thing that did not work well for me was the requirement to enter a topic. I want to quickly bookmark a page and move on. Why is topic required?

Bookmarks cannot be saved to multiple boards without duplicating
From 1 comment
Thanks! I'm glad you find it useful! What browser do you use? Once you created the bookmarklet, you can move it to your e.g. "bookmarks bar" in Chrome and it's pretty handy…

Requests
Export to static file or CSV
From 2 comments
This looks useful. But I would like to confirm if it has "export to static file" functionality. It would really suck if I spent months accumulating data for some research, only…

From 1 comment
