    Hackernews has been my main information source for a long time. I used to explore with web clients from https://hnpwa.com/ for modern reading experiences.

    Cross-device bookmark is always a missing feature for those front end apps. So I decide to make it my own also as my personal project, which is a good chance for me to know about every aspects of launching an app, including UI design, test-driven development, OAuth, payments, marketing, etc.

    By storing bookmarks in Notion, you own your data and it’s easy to manage and export your data with its built-in features like this: https://toonmaterial.notion.site/Example-ea2a6923455e4fb4854...

    This is also a scenario where I finally have the chance to use the most loved web framework, Elixir Phoenix. The developer experience is quite efficient and satisfying. It seems like a perfect choice for a small team, although with a steep learning curve.

    Of course there are still many tasks to complete, such as improving app accessibility and handling regulatory requirements. Nonetheless, I think the product is now usable enough to showcase. And feedback from real users is desirable in further development and improvement. Thank you.
