It sounds awesome but what is the use case for me? It allows me to grab parts of a webpage as bookmarks? I thought Safari does this already (and no-one uses it). Get a .com too (you have read all of Paul Grahams Essays right?); linkfish.com or something similar is fine - I particularly dislike the .fish it pheels very script kiddy to me. Given that this isn’t a new idea can we all agree that User experience and design is going to be the way that this wins. Try to find someone awesome on Dribble or Behance to bring the code to life. Finally adding “please sign up” at the end of your video came across as a bit desperate; it should be self evident at the end of any video that the person should sign up right! Maybe this will help: https://youtu.be/u4ZoJKF_VuA Apart from that congrats on launching. My product is going to be launching soon and it’s way more work than you ever think! |

link.fish is not about extracting a "part" of the website (in the sense of an image what I guess Safari does), it is really about the information (data). The idea is to make all web-information easily usable for everybody. So depending on what you bookmark different information should get extracted. So if you look for example for an apartment and bookmark one, it will get bedrooms, bathrooms, rent, image, location and so on. There are currently two main problems I want to solve. First bookmark managers do only display the title of the page and some kind of image and not what people actually want to see. And the second, that each website lives in its own world and the data from one page can not be used together with another one. Simple example. I go on vacation and want to display my room from Airbnb on a map with the sights I want to visit from Wikipedia or Lonely Planet and the restaurants from Yelp. Currently, that is totally impossible unless you have a lot of time and a CS degree.
The .fish domain is a thing which I get very different responses to. Some people really love it and some people not so much. One day I really have to look into that some more (when I have time and money). Right now the most important thing was that it is rememberable, short and cheap.
Depends on what part you mean is not new. Bookmarking for sure is not. ;-) The combination with the data extraction should be because did not find it anywhere else and that is why I created it. However totally agree on the rest! Will do that once I got some more feedback from users and I have money to pay somebody.
With the video agree. That was actually exactly the idea to seem needy and state something obvious. Should make a quite boring video a little bit funnier and different but did obviously not work that well ;-)
Yes is sadly always way more work than expected. So good luck on your project & launch. Thanks again for your help!
