I actually wanted to build something similar, since I spread things through bookmarks, files in my Downloads folder & links in my emails. I'm a very hectic person and needed something like this!

However, it just doesn't work here it seems. Shift+cmd+c'ed a webpage, and Collections did mention it put that item into my inbox. However, when I went to my inbox, nothing was there. Tried again, same problem. Clicking on the plus button at the bottom of the app didn't do anything either, I was hoping I could add something manually instead... Running on 1.8.3 here. :(

Follow-up: On restarting the app, the item was in my inbox, and new items also went to my inbox. However, I'm still not able to use the + button - I assume that's (annndddd it crashed) there so I can manually add an item?

What's the ETA for a mobile app? This is obviously a HUGE must ;)

Thanks for feedback! The fact that collected items didn't show up immediately in the inbox in your case is definitely some kind of the bug which we will look into. '+'/'-' buttons are actually for creating new collections and removing existing ones respectively. We will definitely make it more intuitive.
New collections aren't created when clicking on the plus button. When clicking on the minus button however, they are removed (so the minus does work). If you can't replicate the issue, feel free to shoot me an email (see my profile). I can give you remote access to see for yourself/test/debug.
Got it, will fix it tomorrow ;)
Regarding the ETA for the mobile app, we don't have anything to announce at this moment, but will keep you updated.
