Sounds really great ! However the issue I have with your product is, we already have ton of interaction on the corner side, thinking about Intercom and other Help Buttons, and so on. I wish I could just hide it and choose in another way if I want to open it...
Siobhan O'Rorke
@antoineplu I've been using it a while and this really bugged me till I started using the shortcuts - Alt + C to turn it off & on again (hides the button), and Alt + Z to open & close the side panel (while the button is showing).

@siororke @antoineplu Or just click and drag it up, away from the Chat/Help/Other Service buttons.

@wirddin @siororke @antoineplu Although it would be nice if there was an option to remember the new position.
Attila Gajdics
@antoineplu We're considering various options instead of the current solution, stay tuned, I'm confident you'll like the new version in a couple of week's time.

Will there be a way to see your candies on the mobile? Native app down the road perhaps?
Attila Gajdics
@abhishekg Definitely! It's in the works already.
Ben Tossell
Candy is also available on Slack: Your Candys are now available for your team in Slack you can see it on the Slack App Directory: here
Attila Gajdics
@bentossell Ben, thank you for the comment. It is a core element of our strategy that we want you to be able to make use of all stuff collected and organized with Candy in other apps too.

Just found this while looking for a good tools to annotate the web with. Website has unbelievable production quality to it and a great pitch video. Can't believe I haven't heard of the tool before. Really solid Chrome Extension.

@itsthisjustin Justin, thank you for spotting and listing Candy :) We're really delighted that you found it exciting! We've received tons of valuable feedback and comments here on PH, in our help center, on Twitter and via email, we're considering all comments, there will be further improvements in UI, web and mobile apps are in the works, as well as other great stuff, so I'm confident it's worth keeping and eye on Candy in the coming months too.
Justin Mitchell
@attilagajdics no problem at all! Let me know if you need any help with the mobile apps either with design or development. I'd love to lend a hand.
Attila Gajdics
@itsthisjustin Thank you, we'll do!

This looks really great, I am curious whether you are planning to release a Safari extension version of this in the future?
Attila Gajdics
@nikitavoloboev You're not alone, it's on our agenda!
David Rogerson
I like it. Simple way to collate thoughts around what are often disparate areas. It says it has evernote integration but can't see this anywhere (unless they mean i can export the text and then paste it in there myself). I'm not sure they need the green button in the bottom right at all and it could probably be all done via the app button in the toolbar and on highlight. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses though.
Attila Gajdics
@doivoid It's in the works, and will be coming soon, we'll correct the info on the site. Thank you for the comment!
Damion Alexander
This is actually pretty sweet!! Any plans for a native iOS app?
Attila Gajdics
@nostradamion Definitely. It will arrive during the Autumn.
David Carpe
brilliant! nice work...I know a ton of professional researchers who are going to love this - like a modern day netsnippets (shout out to Yael and the original team back in '04/05 era ;)
Vikas Gaurav
i just loved it. i have no words to explain how easy and organised it is.. tell me your address, i want to send you people a postcard :)
Jeremy Gollehon
No bookmarking service is useful unless it has an integration with the Google search results page. Does Candy provide that functionality?
Attila Gajdics
@gollyjer Not yet, but stay tuned, it shall be coming among other useful features.
Aidan Wolf
Beautiful website and the product is easy as highlighting, but boy the app piece is dense. Definitely going to have to spend some time figuring out how to make it useful myself.
Kevin Newman
Nice find Justin!
Towhid Zaman
omg! I love it so far. So simple idea yet so effective. Thank you guys <3
Enrique Benitez
This is awesome, incredibly useful for today's digital world, I'm always searching and discovering things I want to recall for later, that sometimes I get mind overflow, this helps with that. Just add image capturing please! and full page screenshots would be awesome as well! Other than that, well done, nice ui and ux. :)
Ayush Mittal
Candy looks great and very useful for content curators and content marketers. More feedback to come!
Ryan McMillan
This seems to be taking links to a much smarter way than what I'd usually use with Evernote for sure. I wonder, if it's bite size information it would be great on the go hence 'not another app' although in this case I'd genuinely have it as a go-to for all my great finds that Pinterest sadly cannot fulfil. I'd find this way more useful on my mobile than on my mac.
Chris Prescott
Tbh I love anyone trying to fix Bookmarks :) First impressions are that this looks slick but (and I know how easy it is to do this!) feels like too many features/options for FTUE, for example Headlines, Cards and Publisher View... Maybe I'm just dumb but I'm not a big fan of new labels and feel a little confused with "Candys" and "Storylines" and struggling to differentiate the two :/ Perhaps I shouldn't have skip the tutorial.. but then, that's what everyone does, right?! I haven't enough Candys to test yet but I really hope the search function is a proper beast because I lose far too many bookmarks. Haven't seen an import function yet but that would be awesome too. Good luck with this guys, looks great so far!
Ivan X
A real candy of its kind - sweet :)
Michael Sitver
This is so amazing. I've been looking for a note-taking product like this for literally years. I even tried to hire a dev to build this a few years ago (but a bit simpler). Well done!
Elizabeth
Just DL'd Candy to get the sweet, beautiful gist of the internet's zeitgeist. @Candy_by_STAR @itsthisjustin
