@rrhoover @thetylerhayes I built something like this on Android a while back https://play.google.com/store/ap...
Absolutely love it. This is perfect and 100% useful for me. Thanks for building it! I would have gladly paid for this btw
Why does it require a subscription? I've been using bookmarklets on a daily basis since the 90s (including ones for emailing links), but this is the first one I've come across that requires submitting an email address in order to see the code/script.
@tomcharde Hum, Fwrdto.me cannot guess your email address and needs it to know to which inbox to send your links? 🤔
*If you have any example of Bookmarklet that can send links to your inbox without specifying your email address I'm more than interested! :)
@vp_fr Typically they use a generic / placeholder email address in the script, and then give you instructions on how to replace that with your own.
@tomcharde Oh, I see! The bookmarklet does not contain your email address but a token, generated with your email address.
Your solution is a good one too, I didn't think it that way :) Might reconsider how I built Fwrdto.me!
@vp_fr Have you submitted this to bookmarklet directories yet? (If you aren't familiar with the popular sites, I can send you links to some that I have in my bookmarks. PM me if interested.)
@tomcharde Nope, just here and on Hacker News (without much success!) :)
It would be so nice of you to share it if you feel so!
What prevents someone from using this as a way to spam many, many email accounts? I would suggest you do a two-step signup here with an opt-in email verification sent out before the bookmarklet is able to send the links out to the email address.
@jameskoole Thanks for the feedback and the advice James!
I thought of adding email validation at the beginning of the project but I prefered the simplicity of use. However, I do agree with you! There should be a way to prevent anybody to enter someone else's email address without consent. Added to first position in the Fwrdto.me Todo's :) Thanks again!
@jameskoole Thanks again for the feedback James!
Two-step signup has been added to Fwrdto.me :)
So, it is my first time too in the Chrome Webstore (be nice!), but here's the Fwrdto.me Chrome Extension: https://chrome.google.com/websto...
A big thank you to all the people who took some of their times to test the service and post a feedback here! I truly appreciate it!
Congratulations @vp_fr . Being in the same sector with https://www.basketapp.net , it is inspirational to see people are trying to solve the problem of favorite link organizing in many ways.
What is the difference to the Inbox by Google chrome extension? In this, you can "Save to Inbox": https://chrome.google.com/websto...
@vp_fr Amazing! Well done! I feel like it would be incredible for people who read newsletters in their inbox. Personally, I use Pocket to save links and I try to unsubscribe from all newsletters in my inbox. Therefore, keeping things to read later separate.
This is brilliant, I send so many emails to myself with links to webpages, this is a much nicer experience. Any chance of getting it as an extension rather than bookmarklet?
Life on the web when inspiration hits and you ended manually sending an email to yourself.
I used to do this all the time, and then I discovered http://pinboard.in - so to anyone who is frustrated with the lack of organization and inability to make a button like this on mobile, check it out.
Very useful. Similar to Google's recent Inbox update, where links can now be saved to an Inbox bundle using "Share via..." (Android and probably iOS)
@bagel_labs I've made some research about the icon, without success... If you have any existing bookmarklet that use one, I'll be happy to give a look!
@bagel_labs And here it is! The Chrome Extension version is now available at https://chrome.google.com/websto... Looking forward to your hearing your thoughts!
Excellent! Loved it. This is so very useful. Simple. Clean. And One-Click solution to send web pages to your inbox. Awesome stuff @vp_fr!
