Hi Product Hunt ๐Ÿ‘‹ Glasp cofounder here! ๐Ÿš€ Today, weโ€™re launching the Glasp for Android - a new way of highlighting and annotating the web on mobile ๐Ÿ™Œ It's completely FREE โœ… ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏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. ๐Ÿ“šWhat 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 peopleโ€™s learning at the same time. Our mission is to democratize access to other peopleโ€™s 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: โœ… Sync all your highlights and notes from Kindle eBooks: ๐Ÿ“š โœ… Highlight text on the web: ๐Ÿ”ด ๐ŸŸก ๐ŸŸข ๐Ÿ”ต โœ… Highlight and summarize YouTube videos, web pages, and PDF files! โœ… Highlight & annotate PDF files hosted on the web โœ๏ธ โœ… Discover more useful content from other curators: ๐Ÿค ... and many more! Weโ€™re excited for the Product Hunt community to check it out and would love to get any feedback to improve Glasp! ๐Ÿงญ 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
