Hello to the Fastlane Community!
I noticed that I always have loooots of tabs opened in my browser and it started to bother me a bit. It happens during both - professional research and personal browsing.
My main motivation to leave things in the opened tabs is: "It is interesting, but I don't have time for it right now! If I'll save it here in the open tab- I won't forget about it and I'll check it out later".
So I thought that it would be a good idea to create a service (website) that could solve my problem. Since I am working in the software industry, it wouldn't be a big deal.
I did some research and there are services like Pocket and Instapaper. They are KIND OF solving the problem that I have, but either have complicated User Experience / lack of simplicity, or lots of distracting things. So I guess that having my own service would suit my needs better, faster, and clearer.
I am planning to have a simple and understandable User Experience with the next abilities:
Then I started to think, what else useful I could add there after the MVP is done? Among my ideas, there are:
1. Is there anyone on Fastlane Foum who has the same / similar issue?
2. If yes, then would you use something like this? Would it simplify your browsing experience?
3. What features would you like to see in such a service to solve your pain-points?
Really would appreciate your feedback!

I am planning to have a simple and understandable User Experience with the next abilities:
- An ability to create a new "Link collection" on a certain topic (for example "Food" , "AIs" , "UI UX articles", "Travel", "Online Video Editors" , etc etc )
- In each collection, you can attach your links (kinda like notes), and attach a short description to them (what caught your attention? Why is it important?)
- Then on your personalized homepage, you could see the list of your collections, and maybe the most important bookmarked links.
Then I started to think, what else useful I could add there after the MVP is done? Among my ideas, there are:
- Setup a reminder about certain links (for example "Remind to visit this link on Fri, Feb 23rd at 4:00 PM")
- Ability to open multiple links at once (select them, or select the whole collection, and ALL of the links from there are automatically opened in your browser)
- Add sub-collections for more specific topics.
