Glasp is a free app that lets you quickly capture online content with colored highlighting options, which are then automatically curated to your Glasp homepage.
Hi Product Hunt ๐
Glasp cofounder here!
๐ Today, weโre launching the Glasp for Android - a new way of highlighting and annotating the web on mobile ๐
It's completely FREE โ
๐ฐ๏ธ Story behind Glasp
10 years ago, I was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma that suddenly paralyzed the left side of my body, and my doctor told me that I could go into cardiopulmonary arrest at any moment. I managed to survive through emergency surgery, but when I was confronted with the reality that I might disappear from this world, I remember feeling an inexpressible sense of fear and frustration welling up from the bottom of my body.
At the same time, I was struck by the desire to prove that I existed in this world and that my life had meaning, and the urge to leave something useful behind for the world while I was still alive to feel a sense of contribution to humanity.
๐What is Glasp?
Glasp is a social web highlighter that people can use to highlight and organize quotes and thoughts from the web without having to switch back and forth between screens, and access other like-minded peopleโs learning at the same time.
Our mission is to democratize access to other peopleโs learning and experiences that they have collected throughout their lives as a utilitarian legacy. As Glasp stands for "Greatest Legacy Accumulated as Shared Proof", we want to visualize your contribution to human knowledge history.
Besides the Android app, you can do:
โ Sync all your highlights and notes from Kindle eBooks: ๐
โ Highlight text on the web: ๐ด ๐ก ๐ข ๐ต
โ Highlight and summarize YouTube videos, web pages, and PDF files!
โ Highlight & annotate PDF files hosted on the web โ๏ธ
โ Discover more useful content from other curators: ๐ค
... and many more!
Weโre excited for the Product Hunt community to check it out and would love to get any feedback to improve Glasp!
๐งญ What's Coming Up Next:
- Highlight images like Pinterest
- Better personalization of content discovery & like-minded people search
- Improved UX = UI updates + bug fix
Let's highlight the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful together!
Happy learning,
Kazuki
