Rewind is a Chrome extension that groups bookmarks by creation date. So on July 4, you will only see bookmarks created on a 4th of July (2022, 2021 and so on). It's very useful when you have thousands of bookmarks you saved over the years to read them later (and never do).

It also displays thumbnails, has a fast search feature, and a lot of quick actions for curating your bookmarks, like fetching up-to-date titles and urls (canonical urls, technically), showing which links don't return 200, finding comments on Twitter about your bookmarks, searching the title on Google (which is great for finding mirrors), etc.

I created Rewind in 2015, it has 920 users at the time of writing, it's totally free, it's just a side project I'm really proud of.

I re-wrote it from scratch to use Mantine for the UI and XState as a state library and I'm very happy with this stack. It's my first time using either.

Cool! Have you ever looked into creating a Safari version? If so, any thoughts on whether Apple's Safari extensions mechanisms would work for Rewind?

I've converted an earlier version to Firefox a couple of years ago, and afaik the process for Safari is similar, it only takes a few changes, replacing "chrome" with "browser" in the source code mainly.

But maintenance-wise, that's another story, it means submitting every new version to both stores, updating descriptions, screenshots etc, which takes a sizeable amount of time, and providing support for users, which is harder since I don't use Safari personally, which is why I focus on Chrome.
