With dewey. you can grab all of your existing Twitter Bookmarks, search, sort, tag, create and share collections, and yes even export your Twitter Bookmarks to your favorite note-taking app.
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.
@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.
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 :)
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.
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
@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
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.
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!
@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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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 🚀
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.
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 😊
@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)
