Totem

I save threads for community management work - launch announcements, ecosystem updates, AMA threads - and they get buried the same way you describe. The Obsidian/Markdown export is the part that would actually change my workflow: I keep running notes on each project and community I track, and a clean thread export I can drop directly into those notes without manual cleanup would save real time during launch season. Does the export include quoted tweets and embedded thread context, or mostly just the main tweet text?

Hi Ankit, does it allow us to search and summarise?

Interesting product. I have gotten into the habit of bookmarking on my browser - both X posts and other to reads - and then going through them once a week. Any plans on expanding this beyond X?

awesome! my kinda bad habit too... does it support Obsidian ?

Oh man, my X bookmarks are a landfill. I save threads at 1am then never see them again. Turning new tab into a calm reading page sounds… doable. Love the highlights + Obsidian export. How’s it handle super long threads or ones with a bunch of media?

Congratulations on the launch! I bookmark things all the time and almost never go back to read them. How does Totem decide what to resurface first?

Bookmarks-you-never-read is one of those problems where the saving is the reward and the reading never happens, so organizing them only helps if it also changes when they surface.As someone who's shipped a Chrome extension, the part I'd want to know is what happens on X's side. Reading bookmarks means either scraping the timeline DOM or going through the API, and both have been moving targets — the DOM shifts without notice, and the API tier that covers bookmarks isn't cheap. Which route did you take, and how often has it broken on you? For an open source project that maintenance cost is the thing that decides whether it's still working in a year.

With this tool I just might actually revisit my bookmarked tweets!

Every one is solving for bookmarks for links, but this seems like first whole-hearted attempt to fix twitter bookmarks once and for all. Speciality softwares like this actually work. I am installing it right away. Thanks for shipping this @iankit17 🙌

Hi everyone! I'm Ankit 👋

I have a bad habit: I bookmark brilliant threads on X telling myself I'll "read it later." Later never comes. The bookmarks page is a graveyard, no order, no search, no way to actually read anything longer than a glance.

I kept wishing my bookmarks looked like a Substack post. Full width. Clean type. No infinite feed pulling my attention away. Just me and the thing I wanted to read.

So I built Totem.

It turns your new tab into a quiet reading room for your X bookmarks:
- 📖 Read, don't scroll — threads unroll into a clean, full-width article
- ✍️ Highlight & annotate — mark the lines worth keeping, like you would in a book.
- 🔍 Search everything — find that one thread by a word you remember
- 📤 Export — send highlights and threads to your notes (Obsidian, Markdown), full and partial bookmark export
- 🌱 A calm browser new tab - new tab becomes an invitation to read something you already chose, instead of doomscrolling.

The whole idea: the things you saved should be easy and pleasant to actually read.

It's a free Chrome extension. I'd love your honest feedback, especially on the reading experience. What would make you actually return to your bookmarks?
