Glasp: Curated Content to Crafted Posts

Maker

📌

Hi Product Hunt 👋 Glasp cofounder here! 🚀 Today, we’re launching the Glasp for Android - a new way of highlighting and annotating the web on mobile 🙌 It's completely FREE ✅ 🕰️ 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. 📚What 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 people’s learning at the same time. Our mission is to democratize access to other people’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: ✅ Sync all your highlights and notes from Kindle eBooks: 📚 ✅ Highlight text on the web: 🔴 🟡 🟢 🔵 ✅ Highlight and summarize YouTube videos, web pages, and PDF files! ✅ Highlight & annotate PDF files hosted on the web ✍️ ✅ Discover more useful content from other curators: 🤝 ... and many more! We’re excited for the Product Hunt community to check it out and would love to get any feedback to improve Glasp! 🧭 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
