Show HN: A new(?) approach for your bookmarks Hey HN community, there are a couple of websites I visit on a daily basis. I type the first two oder three characters of the url and the autocomplete feature of my browser does the rest. That is also how I procrastinate. It happens that i visit the same website over and over again without that there is really new content on that site. Or on the other side it happens that I forget to visit a certain site for some days. To address all this I build the following website: https://ift.tt/3jMxmRx The idea is: you have one personal link (1) and define a list of websites and how often you want to visit them. Then you set this link as your homepage or on your browser bookmark bar. Then by visiting your personal link you get redirected to a website of your list that you have not visited in your configured timespan. If there is no more website to visit you get redirect to a static site saying "all done, let's get back to work!". The second feature is that you can share the list of bookmarks (2) with others and they can create a copy of it and set their own timings and add/remove urls. I use this on my desktop pc and my mobile phone. Because it is the same link it is automatically synchronized on all your devices. It is a bit hard to explain. Hopefully you get the idea. But i tried it the last couple of weeks on my laptop and smartphone and love it! It really helps me stop procrastinating.

Show HN: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
