I love the simplicity of the idea. Good luck with it!

I'd prefer it just sent me an email with all the links i've accumulated every week or two. I don't know exactly when I'll have time to read stuff but I could see myself getting into the habit of just looking back into your emails for specific articles.

I love your design, but in Firefox for me the middle section under "it's as easy as" is not loading, and the "start using timecapsule" button is covering a phrase starting "Do..." at the bottom of the screen.

I am having the same problem on Firefox, but otherwise I think it is a great idea. As mentioned, you should consider how to handle articles that might get lost or deleted. It would also be interesting to allow to share a Timecapsule with friends (might have it already, haven't checked it out yet) so they can contribute to the same Timecapsule and have something to talk about sometime in the future. Keep up the good work!

Thanks guys for the feedback in Firefox. I'll check it out. I think a few people maybe having a problem with the big black box (a video). Sharing a Timecapsule could be interesting! I'll keep it in mind for the next version.

I have the same problem. I was able to inspect the element and click the link to the video and watch it in browser.

Nice, but it doesn't seem that useful for myself.

I normally don't know when I'll have time to read something, I just save for 'later'. I use Pocket for that.

This is a nice idea. I would use this so save articles or even bookmark them for later use.

This can be improved by implementing the "snooze" functionality of an alarm. If you're not ready to read an article when the X amount of time has elapsed, maybe allow a "snooze" the reminder to a later date.

+1 for snooze feature. Nice project, keep it up.

Looks awesome, found a use-case already. A motivational article that I figured I would more than likely forget about or need re-motivated in the future.

What happens when the article you want to read in, say, a year is no longer available?

As of this current version it would be gone. But I was already considering this as a first add in the next version. Will probably save the entire page or save the entire article so that it can be served anytime in the future without relying on the url. Also considering adding a user chosen backup outside of Timecapsule.io for their articles, so they can be confident that they are always available, even if something were to happen to Timecapsule.io, say in five years.

I'd love to see some IFTTT recipes for this - the possibilities!

Interesting and nice execution. A must add, send to kindle ;)
