I love this and have been using it for a few months. Until Curius, I never found a good way to aggregate and show others articles and websites that I found insightful. The UX makes a lot of sense and is seamless. Highly recommend everyone to try it out!
This is way cleaner than maintaining a public Notion wiki full of bookmarks. I also like the added touch of having the Curius site as my new tab page. Kudos to the makers!
I’ve been using Curius for a while now and have been pleasantly surprised by how it makes reading online more active. Friends can recommend readings to you and engage in discussion on a shared article/paper of interest. Discovery of new content through friends is also surprisingly good in many situations.
Hey Product Hunt!
You're always navigating the internet alone and without a way to act on what you discover.
With Curius you can create a trail of what you've been reading by saving and adding highlights to webpages with a simple, seamless extension.
Every bookmark is instantly saved to a beautiful online bookshelf, accessible by anyone through curius.app/your-name
What's more, you can browse your friend's links and highlights and learn things together.

Curius is the product I've been looking for!! 😇 Used hypothes.is for a while but didn't really like the interface. I'm excited to finally be able to share online reading thoughts with friends 🙌
@bojne Thank you Yueh Han! we want Curius to be the way knowledge collection should be, so let us know if there's anything we can do to make it even better!
I've been using Curius for months, and all of the "obvious things" work really well: one click highlighting and logging, and nice generated reading logs.
But what I've been surprised by is how much I like the "social" features. Getting to see what my friends are reading is a nice way to asynchronously stay in touch with what the people I care about are reading and thinking.
Can I change my name? Or am my trapped with my google name?
Also, in the new tab my saved pages are appearing, but not on curius/my-name, is the service having some trouble? my name has an ú, can that be causing the problem?

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!! I used to use Roam to save links by copy-pasting them in and adding notes, and this extension removes all the friction to do that
@divalbanerjee@himat Hey Hima! We've discussed this idea a bit — we don't have any short-term plans to develop integrations but we do think it could be valuable and something that could be more effectively done once there's a developer API for Roam.
Looks great, and I'd love to experiment with it further. Looks like this could fill a tidy little gap in my current stack that would allow for collaborative knowledge management and sense-making. That said, is there / will there be a bookmarklet that *doesn't* depend on Chrome? And perhaps a PWA for mobile devices?
@jsamlarose hey Jacob! glad you're trying it out, would love your feedback here or on our form
We're also available on Firefox and definitely considering a PWA
I've been using Curius for a few months now, and it's been great for encouraging me to read more! My favorite part is seeing content my friends read pop up every time I open a new tab. Additionally, the tags feature helps with noticing long-term trends in my reading that I wouldn't have realized by myself. Super exciting to see what happens as more people start using it :)
I was introduced to Curius a while ago and I've never seen such a seamless and efficient way to share thoughts, comments, and ideas in a way that really speaks to a passion for learning. I've gained so many insightful, interesting, and sometimes random facts and perspectives through traversing my friends bookmarks that I didn't plan on learning when I woke up that day. It's information sharing on a personal level, with a beautiful user interface to match!
