Glasp: Curated Content to Crafted Posts

Maker

📌

Hi Product Hunt 👋 Glasp cofounder here! 🚀 Today, we’re launching the Highlight & Summarize: PDF Companion 🙌 🕰️ Story behind Glasp 10 years ago, Kazuki, the co-founder of Glasp, was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma that suddenly paralyzed the left side of his body, and his doctor told him that he could go into cardiopulmonary arrest at any moment. He managed to survive through emergency surgery, but when he was confronted with the reality that he might disappear from this world, he remembers feeling an inexpressible sense of fear and frustration welling up from the bottom of his body. At the same time, he was struck by the desire to prove that he existed in this world that his life had meaning, and the urge to leave something useful behind for the world while he 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 simultaneously. 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 Highlight & Summarize: PDF Companion, you can do: ✅ Sync all your highlights and notes from Kindle eBooks: 📚 ✅ Get daily highlight reviews for free! ✅ 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, Kei
