🤔 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.
You can do:
✅ Highlight text on the web: 🔴 🟡 🟢 🔵
✅ Save web articles for read-it-later: 📎
✅ Look back at what you read anytime: 📚
✅ Sync your highlights with a desktop device: 💻
... and many more!

Kei
Congratulations! on yet another launch! I use Glasp's summary feature every day, and I am looking forward to using the highlighting feature with the app!
p.s. I downloaded the iOS app, but the Safari share button seems to be not showing up properly on my device, I will try again later. Best Wishes!
Finally! For a productivity and knowledge person like me, the possibility to highlight on the run was what was missing. You have now bridged that gap!

🕰️ 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.
