Some feedback about the pitch – I see bookmarking as one relatively small slice of "productivity" as a software category. I wasn't sure what to expect when I clicked on the link titled "Lightweight Productivity Tool", but expected something closer to, I guess Notion, or a few other similar tools I've seen around here recently – i.e. an integrated, straightforward tool, that covers much of what "productivity" could mean.
As for the product, I'll admit I've not actually installed or tried it, but based on the page... I've tried many "organise X into folders" sorts of products in the past to try to get my life in order, and none of them ever stick. Even when I take the time to organise a whole aspect of my life, I either come back and realise I organised it in the wrong way for how I need to access it, or I just search and skip the organised hierarchy.
How does Zlinky change this? From looking at the page, I'm not sure it does. A folder-based bookmarking service is handy, but all the major browsers can sync this sort of stuff I think. Can Zlinky cause a step-change in how much value I get out of my bookmarks? If so, how? I'm not bookmarking a whole lot because I find search more effective than bookmarks, do I need to be bookmarking more?
Screenshots as an addition is an interesting take on this. The two are not something I'd inherently put together, and I'm interested in the motivation for this. I do use a screenshot sharing tool, taking multiple screenshots a day, and I do use the history on this (a few times a year), but again, organising them isn't something I've needed except in the rare cases of, say, creating marketing images for a product, in which case I've been using a shared workflow with other team members involved.
I'm interested to hear more about the problems this is solving. It sounds like you're quite evangelical about it which suggests I'm either missing some sort of realisation, or that I'm not the target user – either way I'm sure there's something I could learn here.
