🕰️ Story behind Glasp

10 years ago, I was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma that suddenly paralyzed the left side of my body, and my doctor told me that I could go into cardiopulmonary arrest at any moment. I managed to survive through emergency surgery, but when I was confronted with the reality that I might disappear from this world, I remember feeling an inexpressible sense of fear and frustration welling up from the bottom of my body.

At the same time, I was struck by the desire to prove that I existed in this world and that my life had meaning, and the urge to leave something useful behind for the world while I 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 at the same time.

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 YouTube highlight, you can do:

✅ Sync all your highlights and notes from Kindle eBooks: 📚

✅ Highlight text on the web: 🔴 🟡 🟢 🔵

✅ 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:

- iOS & Android app (coming soon)

- 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,
