Are you a bookmarker? Do you like saving things you read online, archiving webpages to come back to later one day in the future? Do you struggle to remember what it was you liked about that longform piece that you spent half an hour reading? Do you find commentary from discussion threads just as interesting and valuable as the articles you read? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then Notado might be for you!
Notado is a content-first approach to online bookmarking, where the paragraphs and sentences that make you want to bookmark something are treated as first-class citizens rather than pieces of additional metadata. With Notado, your bookmarks focus around selections of text, which are fully searchable and can be organised however makes sense to you with a powerful automatic tagging system.
You might be thinking "I already use Pinboard (❤️), Instapaper, and Readwise and I don't want to change my whole workflow just to try out this Notado thing..." - I hear you! The original webpages of every note that you save to Notado can be automatically synced to Pinboard, Instapaper and Readwise too!
"Yeah okay," I hear you say, "But like,
I have all these scripts that let me do ${COOL_THINGS} with the Pinboard/Instapaper API"
- I got you! Notado has a full public API available for you to hack away with
and build on top of from day one!
"Hmmm... Well... I don't really want to have to check another website, I miss the days where I could just keep up to date with everything on my RSS feed reader" - I feel you! Notado provides private RSS feeds for anybody you add to your network! Like something that comes up in one of your Notado feeds? You can save it to your account without ever having to leave the comfort of your RSS reader!
