Show HN: I made Linkpack, a filesystem-based link organizer for iOS (opens in new tab)

Hmm, no app for the iPad makes this less usable for me as I do most of my reading on my iPad mini.

You trust Dropbox?

The page is warped in after you get to the page. Your browser must be having issues with the javascript. I could do without the fancy effects as well.

Uhm that's weird, what browser are you using?

I emailed them about this, they claim its a error in the privacy policy and will update it. They say it is referring to the case if you share your reading list publicly.

We plan to create a Safari extension as soon as possible and a Firefox one just after that. The first release of Linkpack was just an MVP, so we will definitely add support for more browsers as we continue the development!

Linkpack makes use of some iOS8 APIs (it has a Share Extension, it uses the UIVibrancyEffect and UISearchController etc) that would increase the development time if we decided to support older versions. I understand the frustration but this was a decision we had to make in order to speed up the development. Plus iOS8+9 now make up the 94% of the install base according to Apple: https://developer.apple.com/support/app-store/.

We do plan to add more cloud providers in the future. We started with Dropbox as this was something that we have been already using in our daily routines, plus it's the most widely used.

Safari view controller was released as an API when we were further down in the development of Linkpack. That said, while Safari VC has some handy features like the reader mode, it does not let us do stuff like tracking the reading progress or customizing the look of it to match the look and feel of the Linkpack app. We do keep an eye on this API though.

Thanks!

Right now there a $1.99 IAP that enables extra functionality such as Reading Progress, Narration and more but -as we are in a really early stage- this might change in the future, depending on the features that will be implemented.
