Intentionally deferred

—
Browser extension
Email-first IS the wedge. Extension is complexity for marginal gain.
—
Mobile app
Use your phone's native share sheet → email. No app needed.
—
Readwise-competitive features
Head-to-head is unwinnable. Focus remains on email-first simplicity.
—
Product Hunt launch
Deferred 60 days post-launch. HN and r/selfhosted first.

drop-note is free to use. No credit card required.
