Hi Hackers, I hate bookmarks. They're where good links go to die. I've always wanted a simple way to organize and share links that are important to me. After not finding a solution that fit me, I decided to make my own. This product has been in the works for an embarrassingly long time, but I think the time has not gone to waste. I love using Parsnips and I hope you might too. Would love your feedback and adoration ;)

A potential game changer in the 3D printing space is Rapid Liquid Printing or (RLP). Why is it exciting? Normal 3D printers have to build from the ground up, one layer at a time. It wastes a lot of energy and time because the print head paths are restricted to one plane. In RLP, by contrast, prints are made in a bath of gelatin, the printer head is freely able to move in 3 dimensions allowing it to take the most direct path to form prints. No wasted movement = less time and more structurally sound parts.
RLP was developed by MIT a few years back and I haven't heard much from it since. Maybe that will change over the next few years. https://selfassemblylab.mit.edu/rapid-liquid-printing

Neural input devices could become a thing in the next few years. I, for one, would love to have a wearable which could translate neural signals into text and directional input - in lieu of a keyboard and mouse. My inevitable carpal tunnel could stop advancing.
Thanks to newly available hardware like MyoWare, affordable neural sensors have become available to garage tinkerers. I think it's simply a matter of time before we're all interfacing with our computers and phones via wearables. http://www.advancertechnologies.com/p/myoware.html

That's an interesting idea. I like it. Will have to see how that could fit in. Thanks sharemywin.

What part of the Kickstarter process are you referring to?
Testing is done manually by the requester right now. Basically they'll copy and paste the functions into their code to test the proposed solutions. I'd like to add automated testing, but that is a little ways down the road still.

Thanks for your recommendations! I've been looking through them and it doesn't appear any of them support template management through an interface. Unfortunately I'm dealing with clients that like to manage their own email copy and appearance. I'll keep up the search...
