"I thought the important thing in productivity is to produce" spot on!

As an example, I have a folder in my Zlinky account named "Zlinky Marketing" - on my travels around X, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Web etc etc, as soon as I encounter useful marketing inspiration, I "native share" the content into the Zlinky Marketing folder and sometimes attach a note to the saved item for context. In addition when at a talk or conference, if I see a useful slide I take a photo of the slide and add it to my Zlinky Marketing folder.

When I sit down to work on marketing for Zlinky, I open the Zlinky marketing folder, and work through the different bits and pieces that I have saved. Eg today, I contacted an Australian specialist copywriter (I had saved one of his TikToks into Zlinky), reviewed an article on "How to get the best out of your Product Hunt launch" I had saved, and submitted our listing on HN as I took a screenshot of HN and saved it into the folder!

So Zlinky certainly helped me produce output today!

This is exactly how I'm using Raindrop. Basically my bookmarking system is like a TODO list. These are highly valuable finds that are really, really relevant to me. How do you guys compare to Raindrop?

I am not very familiar with Raindrop. It does seem to be a good product especially considering it is built and maintained by one engineer.

From what I can tell Raindrop is targeted more at technical and power users. Our product is more the Notion of bookmarking and screenshot management. Zlinky is targeted at a more general user base and we will also continue to expand beyond bookmarking. We also have the benefit of a full team and investors behind the product - providing risk mitigation around continuity. I feel the market is more than big enough to support both products.

Interesting how you use your bookmarks. I also use some of my Zlinky folders as a todo list. For example, I have a "Social to Review" Zlinky folder. As I see a FB event, or receive an email relating to a potential social event, I share the link into the Social to Review folder, then once I week I go through the folder, and make whatever bookings I need to etc. I also have a folder called "Conference Insights" where I stumble upon videos from tech conferences, work related, and I put the link into the "Conference Insights" folder - I make sure I listen to the videos on my walks etc.

Dark Mode is behind a paywall also they have storage restrictions while Raindrop is free.

I can see why space limitations for a new company (saving expenses) but as a power user I save a lot of links so thus bottlenecks me unless I pay.

I think I suddenly understand those "fake email job" memes.
