I'm not looking to rain on your parade or anything. I see the value of this product, but I have a question.
Why did you use an inbox for the user's data? I reason it is not the right definition. People hate the inbox. It actually turns them off from using products/services. I've tested it and mentioning the word inbox makes conversions plummet.
I would call it collections, queue, stack, or something else. Even panel.
I do like the process to join in, but I would test the flow through which people create accounts. I'd have them start saving stuff first, then requiring a password to save the data.

My guess is that inbox allows people to add more to kippt because it decreases the mental effort required to file the item into the correct tag/folder. Its a dumping ground were you add things and promise to sort later.

The image based collections threw me at first - I like textual information in lists, not tiles. But then I saw the phone pad like icon (top right hand corner). Tiles for image collections and lists for articles - w00t! :D

Hey is there any way I can import all of my evernote stuff into Kippt? I'm willing to try Kippt out, but not willing to copy over 100's of bookmarks or use 2 services. Thanks!

Unfortunately no, Kippt data structure is pretty different from Evernote's (links+plain text vs html+attachements) and building an importer for that would be pretty complicated.

when I link GitHub and then click 'setup sync', I get sent to a URL on old.kippt.com which results in an SSL error, since the cert presented is for *.herokuapp.com.
edit: obviously happens with anything that lands on old.kippt.com :)

Pinboard, keeeb, Evernote, [Snip.it], del.icio.us, Pinterest to name a few of the image + article ones. Lookwork, Clipboard, icebur.gs, Image Spark, ConceptBoard, et al for image-only bookmarking.

Anyhow, good luck
