This post is more like a first impression of the service.

This service interested me since it looked like it would be able to automatically add tags to links that I already had in pocket. But doesn't do this, but I thought I would share my thoughts.

With the uBlock Origin extension enabled on Firefox, clicking on the "Sign up free with Google" button does nothing. When searching for links I would expect that my own links would appear first rather than "Search results on Granary.pro". You should be able to move items to their folders from the search interface.

For the English version of the web site I suggest you find a native English speaker to review your content. Specific sentences that have issues are:

"If you stop importing the file into Granary.pro before complete, the processing will be stopped."

"Or do not you wonder where the web page you saved in Bookmark or Evernote is located?"

"Do you imagine the files that filled your PC desktop?"

In the help section: "How to delete my account: You may not use Granary.pro at any time. If you deletes the account, If you deletes the account, Granary.pro deletes all data associated with the account as well as the account, and the user can no longer use the deleted account."

Thank you for your detailed and friendly reviews and I wrote a brief answer below.

Unfortunately, we do not extract tags for links already stored in Pocket. However, if you save the link to the service, it will automatically extract and store your search terms.

It looks that uBlock is blocking the popup requesting third party authentication for sign up. We will solve this problem with developers.

We set the order to emphasize "Search results on Granary.pro" rather than my own links.

We will review “move items to their folders from the search interface” and apply them in near future.

I will get a review from a native speaker as soon as possible.

The uBlock issue is quite annoying indeed, would love to give it a try without adding exceptions to uBlock.

Also, extracting tags for links stored in Pocket would be very useful. There may be tags you can't extract. E.g. I've tagged a bunch of things as "work". Please add that functionality to your Pocket importer :)

Other than that, I look forward to trying it out! I find Pocket too limited, would love something that's more powerful.

We will try to find out if the uBlock issue would be solved by the way you mentioned. We will also check if it is possible to extract and save the tags of Pocket.

We improve Granary.pro, based on various user feedback, until it is the best. Thank you.

I get that web developers need to accommodate their audience, but uBlock blocking things you actually do want to see is more a uBlock problem than anything else.
Thank you for your advice and interest and We will concentrate on uBlock troubleshooting.
