Might want to have a demo username/password as it's hard to evaluate without signing up.

I often see that people here, will grumble and just hit the back button when presented with that option.

Good point, I had planned to add a Mullvad-esque process where you just generate an account number, but didn't want to delay the launch!

If it's any consolation, you don't need to verify your email, so you can just make one up to try it out.

There is no shortage of bookmark managers. I think you are better off concentrating on a "simple chat" UI for bookmarks and keeping it clean (hiding the left bar...).

I would pay for this if I could import:

- Thousands of links. This is when LLM search excels.

- A specific list of hierarchical tags that are used for tagging. Open-ended AI-generated tags are always hit or miss, they don't know WHY I bookmarked a link.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm working on the bulk import as we speak, and it should be ready in an hour or so.

On tagging, do you mean that you would want to define a list of allowed tags that the AI can select from?

Yes.

Just to follow-up, I added a basic implementation of bulk uploading (although it's temporarily limited to a small number of uploads until scalability has been given a bit more thought).

Hey HN, I spent the past few days buiding Laterbase, a (free) AI-powered bookmark manager that enables you to save, search, and chat with your bookmarks.

It's pretty hacky, but would appreciate any feedback!
