Glasp's new Post feature lets you seamlessly turn your curated highlights into full articles and blog posts. Streamline your writing process from research to creation, and effortlessly transform gathered insights into polished content, all within Glasp.
Hi Product Hunt π
Glasp cofounder here!
π Today, weβre launching the Glasp: Curated Content to Crafted Posts π
π°οΈ Story behind Glasp
10 years ago, Kazuki, the co-founder of Glasp, was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma that suddenly paralyzed the left side of his body, and his doctor told him that he could go into cardiopulmonary arrest at any moment. He managed to survive through emergency surgery, but when he was confronted with the reality that he might disappear from this world, he remembers feeling an inexpressible sense of fear and frustration welling up from the bottom of his body.
At the same time, he was struck by the desire to prove that he existed in this world that his life had meaning, and the urge to leave something useful behind for the world while he 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 switching back and forth between screens and accessing other like-minded peopleβs learning simultaneously.
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 Glasp: Curated Content to Crafted Posts, you can do:
β Sync all your highlights and notes from Kindle eBooks: π
β Get daily highlight reviews for free!
β Highlight text & image on the web: π΄ π‘ π’ π΅
β Highlight and summarize YouTube videos, web pages, and PDF files!
β Highlight & annotate PDF files 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:
- Comment on highlights and posts to interact with like-minded people
- 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,
Kei

Congratulations on the launch, Kei! π The new Post feature is a fantastic addition. I'm really excited about how Glasp can streamline the writing process and help us share insights more effectively. Can't wait to explore how it transforms my research into crafted content. Wishing you all the best on this journey! Upvoting for sure!
Cool idea but isn't turning highlights into full articles just copying, what about copyright concerns, and how easy is it to actually use, like any plan to simplify UX even more π
@adildigitalexpert Thank you.
It cites the highlight from the source. We show the sources of the highlights explicitly.
Yeah, we're improving UX!

This is an intriguing launch, @kei_watanabe! How does Glasp handle privacy when it comes to sharing highlights? Also, whatβs the potential for collaboration among users with the new Post feature?
@williamjosephparker Thank you for the comment and upvote, William!
To align with our mission, highlights are visible to other people. If you want to make them private, you can do it by upgrading the plan.

This new feature is interesting, but isn't it just another way to repurpose content, I wonder if itβs really adding anything new, the health background story feels kinda forced, sure thatβs inspirational but does it add to the product itself, curious to hear what others think
Congrats on the launch, @kei_watanabe! π The new Post feature sounds like a game changer for content creators. Excited to see how it enhances the writing process! PH community, let's give it the upvote it deserves!
