Hey Hunters,
We're finally launching "LINER for iOS" on Product Hunt!
LINER is a mobile web highlighting app,
That helps you highlight and save text on the web :)
I find that I'm reading more and more content on my mobile.
While I could simply archive the articles that I read,
I also want to archive the "sentences" that I fell in love with as well.
What articles I read is a personal matter to me,
and it's important that I have control over what content goes public.
Liner highlights are "private" by default,
and you can manually share highlighted pages if you want.
You can even share highlighted pages to your friends
who don't have LINER installed :0
Check out the highlighted version of
" The brilliant mechanics of Pokémon Go | TechCrunch"

Communicating ideas online is difficult.
Sometimes you have no idea why
your friends+coworkers+goldfish share articles with you :/
Highlighting lets you point out as important sentences
by highlighting specific sentences from a 100 page document!!!
We're a productivity obsessed team, that just wants to organize the web.
Which is why you can easily export your LINER Highlights into Evernote!
Highlight your favorite phrases from WaitButWhy, TechCrunch, Paul Graham's Blog and Wikipedia.
Then export your Liner highlights into Evernote with 1-click :)
Happy Highlighting~
Jinu from LINER
P.S. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions in the comment section. We don't sleep, eat, or blink so your questions should be answered fast enough 0_0
It's been an interesting campaign!
Just wanted to answer some questions that arose:
1. LINER is primarily a private highlighting tool. We think highlighting is an innately private activity. That's why we're building a private-highlighting-service over a public-highlighting-service.
2. LINER is a web highlighter that helps you highlight the web, Kindle is for ebooks you own.
3. We're going to add IFTTT integration in the future.
4. We're going to add LINER for Safari in the future :)
Happy Highlighting~
@adithya@mynhpark In order to promote the iOS app more. We decided to unlock all premium features for a limited time~ Please let me know if you have anymore questions :)
@bentossell "Highly" is primarily a social network. Your highlights are public by default. "LINER" strives to keep your highlighting as private as possible. Highlighting is innately a private activity. Which is why we give you full control over when you want to share highlighted pages. LINER is a service for you, not for your friends.
Here's a blog post outlining our views on privacy vs public:
https://medium.com/highlight/the...
@bentossell LINER is primarily a private highlighting tool. We only share your highlights when you "manually" press share. Here's an example of a shared page - http://lnr.li/0xMvN
@bentossell LINER supports PDF files. And you can even share highlighted web pages and pdf files to your friends (even if they don't have LINER installed).
"There’s a lost art of deep-reading when transitioning to digital. The feeling of dragging your finger along pages, the accomplishment of leaving small notes on the edges of pages. A tattered book was the symbol of a well read book. While I would love to carry around three hard-cover books, I find that I’m reading more and more content on my mobile.
While you could simply archive the articles that you read, sometimes you want to archive the “sentences” that you fell in love with as well. Highlighting while you read creates a history of sentences that resonated with you. An actually road-map of the words that inspired you.
LINER helps bring back deep-reading. We help you remember the most important phrases through highlights, we enable more targeted communication by emphasizing and auto-focusing the screen to select passages, we filter out excessive noise so you can truly focus on what’s important."
Curious if you have developed the use case for this: I "line" articles and am able to export those to an email OR assemble a list of "lines" that I can then create a digest email for people?
Would help in research, reporting, and even e-news distribution.
@candrewclark The LINER highlights you made are sent to you in an email reminder. You can also export your highlights to Evernote and email via a link. Here's an example of a highlighted link - http://lnr.li/0xMvN/
@candrewclark@jinukim21 You can also send highlighted links via messenger. We're going to add Messenger, WhatsApp, and SnapChat integration in the future - http://lnr.li/ay4RV
@ggnall Utlimately we want LINER to work on Kindle, Google Books, and basically everywhere. You can highlight PDF files here - http://getliner.com/upload
@eighttwo_three LINER was developed out of a personal need. There simply were no suitable highlighting services that synced with the cloud. So we went out to make the best highlighter in the world and Mars.
@larry_zimbler Currently, we do not support Kindle. LINER primarily works on websites (Wikipedia, NYT, Medium...) , apps (Flipboard, Twitter, Pocket...), PDF files, and much more.
Highlighting is quite an addictive act. At first highlighting on the web may seem awkward. But once you start highlighting your articles you develop a habit of highlighting while you read. IF read, THEN highlight. We provide a daily dose of highlighting vitamins.
Thanks for all the feedback during this Product Hunt campaign. We'll work towards incorporating your feedback into our future products. It seems that users want LINER for Safari and IFTTT integration.
The best products seem like a toy. While Google may know there are 100 pages to index. LINER knows there are 100 pages to index and 927 sentences people are interested in.
There has been an explosion in information and I'm having a harder time remembering. When I highlight a text I get to re-read the text, have the sentence saved to LINER, exported to Evernote, and get reminded in a LINER newsletter. LINER highlights is the ultimate app for memorization. Be smarter. Use LINER.
@jinukim21 Personally I'm a big fan of the Evernote Export feature. I export all my highlights to Evernote. So I can use the highlights as a reference to write blog posts.
About 35 minutes until Product Hunt is over. That was an exciting 24 hours. Finally I get to have some sleep. Feel free to ask us more questions about LINER at contact@getliner.com
@jinukim21@getliner Currently half of the world is asleep. I still find timezones interesting. A large number highlighters are located in USA, England, Japan, China, and Korea.
10 years ago I highlighted text in books and now I am highlighting on the web with LINER. What will the next 10 years look like? Perhaps there will be VR/AR highlighting.
@jinukim21 It's been so long since I read an actual paperback book. While the merits of an actual book are definite. Books are simply too heavy to carry around.
One of the goals of LINER is aiding in deep reading. With the advent of mobile and social media, our concentration has been scattered. According to a recent Microsoft study our concentration is even lower than a goldfish. By using highlights, we want to return your attention. Back to you.
