We at https://tefter.io are working on an alternative way to discover new content and organise bookmarks.
We started off with a similar idea to linkdrop but then thought there's more to bookmarking than that.
So a user may subscribe to a variety of feeds and users, https://tefter.io/~hackernews is of course one of them and have
a personalised newsfeed. From the newsfeed posts can be bookmarked and kept in a "weekend reads" list. Bookmarks can be marked as read. However bookmarks can be easily added from any devise, since we offer browser extensions, mobile and desktop apps, slack integration. One can also import from pocket or pinboard.
Concerning newsletters, we thought they may be annoying. Imagine waking up on a Sunday to an email telling you to read stuff.
We're trying to stay in the spirit of HN, sending as little notifications as possible. Our users have better things to do and their attention is important.
