Hey iXzenoS,\u000a\u000aThose are some great comments and questions to address 👍\u000a\u000aWe created Superdense primarily to overcome some of the limitations of the bookmarks bar that annoyed us the most: the limited space. Sure you can use folders and subfolders, but that means extra clicks and remembering where I left what. Search in browser bookmarks suck imho, and following the Pareto Principe (80/20 rule), our goal was to build an ultracompact bookmark manager for the sites you visit the most. Yes, that also means we didn\u0027t include the 20% that\u0027s may also come in handy some day. But to start, we needed to prove a viable business case for the vision on what Superdense currently is. We have that proof now, especially from the wonderful feedback we receive here from Sumo\u002Dlings ✨\u000a\u000aAs you can read from my intro post, Superdense is quite an opinionated bookmarking tool. That also means just icons, no text. Use the search (press /) to see how to overcome that limitation. But if you use Superdense as quickstart dashboard \u002D not archive for the 500+ bookmarks you hardly ever visit again \u002D you will pretty soon locate each link visually + muscle memory. Build it as a curated list, not a big data dump, and you\u0027ll enjoy it forever. If you prefer a data dump bookmark archive, I\u0027d say combine Superdense + Raindrop.\u000a\u000aLong story short, to bookmark a random blog I\u0027d recommend something like Pocket. But I\u0027m not a type that searches for big software that solves it all, I like cherry picking and combine the tools that excel at something specific.\u000a\u000aWhat if Superdense goes down or gets hacked? I can answer that question with a little info on our architecture: We run on Firebase (Google Cloud) as a serveless app. As long as Firebase is up, we\u0027re up. And they hardly ever go down. Though incidents happen, but that goes for the web in general. For our uptime, check https://status.superdense.com/.\u000aBut if you feel better to have a copy of your bookmarks so now and then, use our Export feature: https://help.superdense.com/export\u002Dbookmarks About hacking I won\u0027t speculate on that. We do pride ourselves that we know and use enterprise grade solutions.\u000a\u000aIs Superdense targeting business use with the team members across tiers? Yes, but always with a personal focus. Every individual has their own account and decides how to organize things. So in a team you can make plans to have the same background image and logo placed, but just as with Linkedin accounts, every individual is responsible for doing so.\u000a\u000aWell, long story, maybe not literally an answer to each question, but I hope it gives you an idea on what we have to offer with Superdense. Just give it a try, and if you don\u0027t like it, push the refund button. That\u0027s the sweet deal that Appsumo always offers. 🌮
