π°οΈ 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.
πWhat 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 peopleβs learning at the same time.
Our mission is to democratize access to other peopleβs 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:
β Sync all your highlights and notes from Kindle eBooks: π
β Highlight text on the web: π΄ π‘ π’ π΅
β Highlight & annotate PDF files hosted on the web βοΈ
β Discover more useful content from other curators: π€
... and many more!
Weβre excited for the Product Hunt community to check it out and would love to get any feedback to improve Glasp!
π§ 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,
