    Author here.

    This is a small side project of mine.

    I've always wanted to highlight on the web like I do on Kindle. I also think being able to discover friends' highlights would be useful for finding interesting content to read.

    I have had those ideas for a long time, and finally put together an app to solve the problems. This is my second app. It was a great learning experience.

    Hopefully it will help other people too!

    I dig the idea. Nice work.

    I would suggest settling on a single font for the top section of the landing page. Having different fonts for the logo and the text directly below looks a little strange to my eye (latest FF on Win7).

    I use Diigo - how does this compare?
