Hey Everyone, Yuriy here from dewey. @alexprober, @tomharari and I built dewey., a bookmark manager for Twitter Bookmarks. Yes yes, but there are others, what's the difference? Well, every other manager doesn't actually manage your existing or new Twitter bookmarks, they just make you use likes or tweet at some bot—in other words use yet another third-party. dewey. actually grabs your Twitter bookmarks so you can continue using the native functionality Twitter gives you, and then layers search, sort, tags, collections, sharing, and even export (all things that Twitter should have made by default). In fact, dewey. is the only way to actually get use out of your Twitter bookmarks, and by the look of it, there are millions of Twitter users using them over third-party products. But what about all this hoopla with Twitter Blue? Well, Twitter decided that basic quality of life features like creating folders for Bookmarks needs to be something they charge $2.99/mo for. Guess what they didn't do, give you any way to organize your existing bookmarks. Yes, if you have ~300 bookmarks (dewey. user average) then you have to doomscroll and organize manually. They are charging for a neutered feature—something dewey. does for free on top of many others.

Love the way this looks. The search/sorting function is 👌 Excited to try this out, maybe it'll get me to actively look through my bookmarks again.
Yuriy Yarovoy
@gabe__perez that’s our hope. So much gold in bookmarks that’s lost forever because there’s no way to dig down deep.
Tom Harari
@gabe__perez Let us know what you think after you give it a spin!
Sharath Kuruganty
You are probably going to save a lot of souls on Twitter coz everyone craves for better bookmark system 😅 Great idea guys!
Yuriy Yarovoy
@5harath Thanks! I hope so =) I am definitely one of those souls haha
Tom Harari
@5harath @yuriyyarovoy Saving souls, taking names.
Dru Riley
There are lots of integration ideas in the comments. Great move posting to PH. Congrats on the launch @yuriyyarovoy, @alexprober and @tomharari!
Yuriy Yarovoy
@alexprober @tomharari @dru_riley Thank you Dru! We're working on integrations =)

Swastika Gurung
Congratulations! How can I use this with Roam or Obsidian?
Alex Prober
@swastikagurung1 Hi Swastika, Currently we offer option to export your personal collections so you can import them into any 3rd party. In the future we will offer a more seamless integration. Thank you, Alex.
Ryan Hoover
@swastikagurung1 good idea. Perhaps a Zapier integration would be useful.
Alex Prober
@rrhoover Already in the roadmap ;)
Swastika Gurung
@rrhoover Thanks. But Zapier is a bad idea :( Better, an Obsidian community plugin. I might use Zapier but never with Roam or Obsidian
Tom Harari
@rrhoover @swastikagurung1 Appreciate the feedback 🙌🏼
Alejandro V. Betancourt
Congrats on the launch! Very excited to try it out! My only issue when I tried to download it is that it seems to only be available for Chrome? I use mostly Safari, sometimes Brave or even Firefox. Do use Chrome when absolutely necessary, but it becomes challenging for daily usage tools (such as Dewey). Would be great if you could add support for other browsers :)
Yuriy Yarovoy
Hey Alejandro, absolutely on our roadmap. We tackled Chrome first mainly because it has the most developed extensions ecosystem and largest market share. Next we are exploring Safari especially with th upcoming ios15 ability to run extensions on the mobile browser.

I had the pleasure to use Dewey at the beta stage, and I can tell you, Yuri and his team fixed one of the most important yet badly implemented features on Twitter. Dewey is everything I'd expect from a bookmark manager. The ability to quickly find bookmarks, bulk tag and create collections is incredible. I can highly recommend this product. 10/10.
Yuriy Yarovoy
@suganthanmn Thanks Suganthan! Feedback from you and the community helped make this version of dewey. 10x better.
Tom Harari
@suganthanmn You rock. 👊🏼
nick eubanks
Absolutely love that someone _finally_ decided to take advantage of the bookmarking functionality in twitter. Thank you guys!
Yuriy Yarovoy
@nick_eubanks Thanks Nick! So much gold in people's bookmarks just waiting to get mined.
Tom Harari
@nick_eubanks 💪🏼
Kevin Martel
Hi @yuriyyarovoy @alexprober, @tomharari That's the feature I was looking for a long time. Would be nice to be able to do the same with all social tools like Linkedin or Facebook. Regarding the export feature, is it a possibility to export the bookmarked tweet itself? And not just the name/url of the tweet and hashtag as today? Thank you, K
Andrew Tsao
Finally, someone tackling the Twitter Bookmarks! I am 100% keeping a close eye out for the Zapier integration on the your roadmap 🙂
Yuriy Yarovoy
@andrew_tsao Thanks Andrew! It's coming shortly!
Adam Oskwarek
Sounds great! All my bookmarks generally are a huge tangled mess... just like my brain. Hopefully this will help :)
Yuriy Yarovoy
@adamolac thanks Adam! I know how that is—1000+ bookmarks and no way to sort them at all. That’s what made me want to build dewey. in the first place.
Adam Oskwarek
@yuriyyarovoy I am a digital hoarder at the best of times. Such a firehose of stuff I never get to/forget about that *might* be useful that's hidden away
Tom Harari
@yuriyyarovoy @adamolac Thanks guys, yeah we very much started from a place of how do we scratch our own itch.

Is it possible to grab my likes? They are also the tweets interesting or useful to me, thus should be curated. In fact, I think bookmarks are just private likes.
Anupam Garg
I have been using Dewey for a month or so now and it is hands down the best Twitter bookmarks curator out there. Unlike others, you don't have to comment on the tweet for it to get saved in your dashboard. It just grabs all your bookmarks instantly which you can their organize according to your preference. The experience is seamless and it is an absolute life saver! Kudos to the team!
Yuriy Yarovoy
@anupamgarg thank you! That was our biggest frustration with existing tools. Everything takes you off-Twitter and forces you to use a separate bookmarking system. We built dewey. as the only way to keep using Twitter’s native bookmarks and layer on organization and curation.
Tom Harari
@anupamgarg Thats very kind of you! Thank you for giving us a shot at such an early stage
J Philius
Hello @yuriyyarovoy @alexprober, @tomharari I'm stoked to have found out about dewey. from @dru_riley twitter timeline. I can't wait to give this product a test drive. Not sure if searching within dewey. is only keyword-based but if it is please consider adding a semantic search layer (for my selfish reasons : ) ). Being able to surface threads I've saved without having to surface them only using keywords but semantically similar phrases would be dope. Lastly, any plans to expand to quora? the bookmark experience on quora is just as bad : ( but I don't believe they offer an API. All the best, JP
Yuriy Yarovoy
This is something we’re thinking about but definitely a stage 3 or 4 roadmap item for now. Currently we want to make the base functions + sharing the best possible experience for you and our other users.
Ayush Yembarwar
Congratulations on the launch! @tomharari @alexprober @yuriyyarovoy Another problem that I have with Twitter bookmarks is that I rarely remember to check up on them. Over time, once a large "backlog" has been accumulated, I find it even harder to get back to them. A frequent reminder or some other simple feature would be super useful for people like me.
Yuriy Yarovoy
@tomharari @alexprober @ayushyembarwar we are incorporating Spaced Repetition via notifications and email to surface some of the buried gold :)
Yuriy Yarovoy
Here are some of the things we have coming up on our roadmap: - Public Collections Pages and URLs so you can share your curated bookmarks with the world if you want. - Build and publish meta threads directly from dewey. using your bookmarked tweets - Spaced Repetition via email and notifications (if you want it) - Integrations with note taking apps like Roam, Notion, Raindrop.io and more And these are just on our near-term roadmap. So much more dewey. goodness to come.
Amanda Emmanuel
Wooot!! So exciting to have witnessed your journey and see so many others appreciate Dewey now on PH! This is a Twitter user's DREAM!!! I'm sooo excited to see where Dewey goes 🚀
Yuriy Yarovoy
@amandaemmanuel 🙏! You saying that makes us so excited for the future. So much in store.
Michael Kuznetsov
This is lovely. Is there a way to filter for all un-tagged bookmarks? Use case: I'm trying to go through and tag all my bookmarks, but whenever I click on one of them the dewey window closes and I have to re-open and scroll scroll scroll again.
Yuriy Yarovoy
Sorry for the late reply. Not yet but that’s a great call out! Going to add this to the roadmap for the next release.
Yuriy Yarovoy
Also, have you used the search bar? That should save you a considerable amount of scrolling :)
Monica Odhiambo
This is a must have. Like there's no tool that grabs bookmarks and you get to categorise them according to your preference. You can't even begin to understand the amount of content that I save following amazing people online. I have been using it for a month and I am happy can bookmark stuff without having to worry about where they are. It's so worth it. Good jobs guys 😊
Yuriy Yarovoy
@monica_odhiambo Thank you Monica! Very much appreciate you being a part of the community from the start.
Devansh Jain
This is awesome, been trying to find ways to use bookmarks more effectively, there's so much good content on twitter!
Yuriy Yarovoy
@deejes thank you! Some of the best things I’ve learned and discovered are in my bookmarks. I reference them daily, looking for nuggets I’ve saved.
Tom Harari
@deejes Perhaps even too much to keep up with? That's why we built it. To help us make sense of it all and in turn, we realized that that curators are excellent at distilling all the great content that's out there... hence we made it easy to share your collections (private by default)
