The app lets you submit a page via a bookmarklet, then emails you a link to the page one week later. It's really useful for saving HN comment threads. HN commenting dies down within a week, so you won't miss any good comments.

So it's Everlater for HN? Seems like it wouldn't be all that useful outside of that context, since you've made timing the differentiating feature.

Are you talking about this: http://www.everlater.com/? Can you explain the similarity please?

The purpose of Reminder Bear is to go back to sites that will see some update in a week's time. It's not just for HN, you can use it on any web page that you want to be updated on. Most discussion on the web ends after a week, and if it's still going strong you can resubmit it to check next week.

Here are the things I've used it for so far:

    Forums that I'm not subscribed to

    Sites with comments that don't notify me of replies

    News stories

    Reddit threads

My bad, I meant Evernote.

I also see what you're trying to do and albeit a thoughtful exercise, it seems that outside of a niche audience it wouldn't scale these days. There are just too many meaningless threads that will never die out there.

Good luck though.
