Building Acceleration: How I Created a Modern Bookmark Manager for the Digital Age

The Bookmark Problem Nobody Talks About

Let's be honest—bookmarking is broken.

You find an amazing article, click the bookmark button, and then... it disappears into the digital void. A month later, you remember reading something about that topic, but good luck finding it in your browser's bookmark jungle.

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

Traditional bookmark managers are stuck in the 1990s. They're clunky, disorganized, and make finding your saved content harder than finding it originally. It's like having a filing cabinet where you throw everything in and hope you can find it later.

That's why I built Acceleration—a modern bookmark manager that actually works the way your brain works.

What Makes Acceleration Different?

Smart, Not Just Storage
Acceleration doesn't just save URLs—it understands what you're saving. When you bookmark a page, it automatically:

  • Extracts the real title (not just the URL)

  • Grabs a meaningful description so you know what it's about

  • Captures the website's icon for visual recognition

  • Pulls preview images to jog your memory

  • Suggests relevant tags to help with organization

The result? Your bookmarks actually tell you what they are, not just where they are.

The Story Behind Acceleration

Acceleration was born from my own frustration with existing bookmark managers. As someone who constantly researches and saves content, I was tired of tools that made the simple act of saving and finding information more complicated than it should be.

I wanted to build something that was:

  • Beautiful - because we spend so much time with our tools

  • Fast - because speed matters when you're in the flow

  • Smart - because manual organization is tedious

  • Seamless - because context switching kills productivity

After months of development and testing with real users, Acceleration is now ready to help knowledge workers everywhere save and rediscover what matters.
