Looks cool. And I was thinking about how a better experience to bookmark could reshape how I use the browser now. Funny how coincidently you went from building a better browser to build a bookmarker. Btw, I used to use Too-Many-Tabs to change from House to Work mode. Now I have 2 logins on Chrome, is there anything like this on kozmos?
Yes, so glad other people also see what I see. Bookmarking is like the missing piece of current web.
I don't have that feature in Kozmos but will keep it in my mind.

Personally, I absolutely need the option to tag bookmarks, is this supported, or do you have plans to?
I imagine pinboard supports this, but when I looked at it something stopped me from pulling the trigger, despite how desperate I am for this type of service.
Kozmos will support collections soon. So users will be able to organize and publish their links.
For tagging, it has a different approach. It has tags behind the scenes; reads the tags from the bookmarked page, and adds also additional tags such as the type of content.

A collection would be like one tag I suspect. And auto tagging is not what I'm looking for that's for sure.

Hey Azer! Was wondering what you've been up to, I couldn't remember what your name was, always be #leftpadgate guy to me. Gonna check out your service.
Let me know what you think!
This looks nicely executed with some fresh ideas. Good luck!
thanks!
Curious to know, what's your business model? You mention you self-funded, but is the intention to have paid accounts, sell advertising, etc?
The business model relies on the next versions which will introduce new innovative ideas on top of bookmarking. It'll take some time, I won't rush. Currently the server is AWS free tier so it's not costing me anything. Personally I'm doing contractor to keep my budget healthy.
Having a business model will get you more users. I'd add it sooner than later.
I do have a business model, but not for this version of the app
I'm one of the earliest users of Delicious who recently built a modern bookmarking platform. It's called Kozmos (https://getkozmos.com). It's a competitor to Pinboard, and its difference is simplifying bookmarking into one heart button, I mean you don't need to fill forms to bookmark a page anymore. It has an advanced search engine that makes you find whatever you're looking for.
I self-funded this project and worked on it past three months. If you are curious about how it looks, you can see this blog post; https://medium.com/@azerbike/introducing-kozmos-a-new-bookma...
My vision for this project is to not just build a bookmarking platform, to innovate further based on bookmarking.
