I believe that there is a missing button on most social share toolbars to send stuff to yourself, later. I made this and want to know what you think!

This works by providing you a JavaScript file that you can put on your page. The file looks for a predefined element class, then turns those elements into a "Remind To Read" button.

When clicked, the button accepts an email address. After input, the button defaults to sending the user a reminder email in 4 hours. The users can also manually set the delay period.

The email itself is meant to be designed by the site owner. The email can be used to promote other content, call-to-action functionality, etc. By default, the email also contains "snooze" buttons, to trigger another delayed email.

This is a great idea. I use Send to Kindle for this. As I go around, I find articles I want to read but don't have time now. So I use Send to Kindle to send it to my Kindle. And then later I have many articles on my Kindle to read.

Glad you like the idea! I just noticed that the site is in a redirect loop. : p

Edit: Fixed the loop

Its seems http://classroom.ng will work well with this - a unified, uncluttered inbox for educative email subscriptions.
