Clean design and beautiful interface.

Excellent work. I've wanted to have better bookmark management in Chrome for a while now. Plus the design is beautiful.
jfmercer on HNI hate to go off topic, but what browser were the screenshots made in? I love the clean border/top bar.
Hates_ on HNA little beside the point, but you have one of the best marketing sites for a HN project I've seen in a long time.

Okay, I know I'm joining the choir here, but THANK YOU. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. This is EXACTLY what I need. I am so sick of the omnibar not being able to find websites…
ericmsimons on HNI've been looking for something like this lately, it really fills a need for me! But you really REALLY need to modify your icon. There are a million bookmarked shaped icons in…
doubleconfess on HNBeautiful service - I've wanted this for a while. My bookmarks all show up, but when I search for anything I get no results. Looks like you guys still have a few kinks to work…

Objections
Requires an account and uploads bookmarks to a third-party server, a privacy concern.
From 4 comments
Cool idea, chrome/ium bookmark manager is definitely a pain point. But I can't tell, is this a local extension, or does it upload bookmarks and stuff to your server?
SkyMarshal on HNExactly my concern. But judging from some of the other comments it is indeed uploading your bookmarks. I'm sorry to say, but I consider bookmarks slightly private, and I wouldn't…
cskau on HNThis looks really nice, but I'd like to hear what the account is required for. I'm not happy with the idea of another third-party having a peek inside my bookmarks. Maybe…
idm on HNAs much as I wish to see Google Chrome (and Firefox) update their bookmarks manager....I cannot really trust a third party service for my local bookmarks.

Server load causes errors and slow uploads.
From 3 comments
Are you guys down under the load? It cycles on the "uploading bookmarks" page for a couple of minutes (I only have 50 or so!) and then An error occurred in the application and…
ComputerGuru on HNYour site is on the brink of going down, guys. Not there yet, but I get the occasional server error. Might want to make sure it stays up. :)
kmfrk on HNHey, How long does it take for the bookmarks to upload? been taking a while now...

Bookmark upload gets stuck or fails to sync.
From 3 comments
Cool. It could be a useful visual metaphor as long as the shake was smaller and didn't last as long (didn't affect usability). So I created an account and the site has now been…
aik on HNNot a big bug, but... after login, it said it was uploading my bookmarks, and then said I didn't have any. Though, going back to the home page, it showed me my bookmarks. Just a…
jasonlotito on HNLooks really awesome. I want to note I had to restart Chrome to get it to work though (before it was hanging at the 'we're uploading your bookmarks' part).

This is fantastic! I've got so many damn bookmarks that I don't know what to do with them. Have you got any plans for importing bookmarks from pinboard/delicious?

Union and intersection filtering across tags or folders.

Great work guys! not something I would have originally seen myself using, but having now tested it out I can see this replacing my bookmarks bar! Search could do with improving…

Ability to add or edit tags.
From 2 comments
Looks great! If I can begin asking for feature requests, I never noticed how many of my bookmarks lacked appropriate tags :) Would it be possible to add or edit the tags of the…
Cpt_Monac on HNYup this is definitely a possibility.

Why an account is required and what data is uploaded.

idm on HNI stopped installing at the request for "your data on all websites". I didn't see anything in the privacy policy that explains why and how far "my data" travels. Could you…

Looks cool, thought of doing something similar myself. Why don't you charge like pinbord?
