Nice find! How long have you been using it and how well has it been working for you? Any quirks with the mobile app or browser extensions or has it been pretty seamless?

Thank you!!!

I’ve been using Raindrop for about five years. The solo dev really impressed me with his responsiveness to user feedback, so I started paying for premium ($30/yr) even though I don’t really need the extra features.

I’ve used the mobile app, Firefox extension, desktop app (Linux and Windows), and the web app. All have worked flawlessly and have grown more feature rich without ruining the user experience.

The features I use the most are:

• Endlessly nestable folders that I can give my own icons to make them significantly easier to navigate around
• Public collections so I can save my favorite GIFs and memes on a public page I can refer back to and share
• Tagging, descriptions, and notes so I can save a lot of context for each bookmark and why I saved it
• The built in preview for the mobile app feels buttery smooth, so I seldom open tabs in my mobile browser when I’m visiting my bookmarks
• The main premium features I actually use are the broken link detector to find links that no longer exist and the permanent copies of those pages

I haven’t had a chance to use the REST API, but it appears to be documented quite well.

Overall I’ve had such a pleasant experience that I’ve never looked at any other option.

Oh, goodness, this is the first time I’ve ever heard about Invidious. So my imagination jumped the gun and I didn’t give this gorgeous visual revamp the credit that it’s due! Thanks for your hard work!

Oh, this looks pretty promising!

Any idea of how much they’ve shared a roadmap? I’d love to see if they have goals to integrate other video platforms like PeerTube to make it more than just an alternative YouTube front-end.

With what I’ve been through, I’m beginning to wonder if OP is telling the truth 😂

About 7 years ago I got a call from some random lady in her 70s. Turns out her husband passed away not long ago and every computer in the house had Linux Mint installed. She needed someone to help her with some various simple techy things that her husband used to handle.

I couldn’t help but wonder how this random lady got my phone number. Turns out that one day, my Grandfather went on a walk down the road and this lady was outside tending to her garden. I have no clue how the conversation shifted to the topic of Linux, but it did. And my Grandpa knew I was in college for Computer Science, so he just volunteered me for this task.

Fast forward to today and I still help her out once or twice a year with whatever random questions pop up.

I’ve had some luck blocking instances within mobile apps, but that doesn’t scale well if the number of toxic instances is constantly growing. I’m curious to see how this gets addressed in the long run (or if it is left as is, since it is technically working as designed).

On the bright side it’s always easy to spot a cheetah!
