This app looks really good. Personally, I don't find this useful, not because it isn't, but I don't even use bookmarks in my browser. It looks like a lot of inspiration from pintrest, but simpler (which isn't bad). Good job, and extra props for going in solo!

Cool way of organizing bookmarks, also makes it available between browsers and computers!

Entry looks beautiful, reminded me of the app that I was working on few years ago.

I really like the clean design of this app. Provides a nice view of the pages that are linked.

This is a fantastic project. Really enjoyed using it. Got immersed for ages in just creating a deck of cards. I'd use this!

The app looks really good! Congrats :) Would love to have a collaborative offline version of this, so that I can just have the app pre loaded and launch it with collections I find on the Web

Very Pinterest-y. Smooth render, easy unmessy auth. Only trouble I spotted was that when I created cards myself, images were not showing in any way, just the cards with the link text despite trying a couple of different url types(direct to image url vs. website about topic)

OAuth with Twitter didn't worked (it always prompted me to login with Twitter).
Nice color scheme :)
The grid looks a bit odd. I was surprised that the entries I watched first disappeared (found them pushed down later). You should animate the transition. -

Not yet, but more features around sharing/commenting/liking cards are definitely on my dream to-do list if I have some more time to work on this.
