I had a similar idea awhile back because I wanted to be able to highlight in kindle iOS app and save the quote somewhere. But after downloading Liner, it seems like the highlight only works within the native app, if I go to chrome browser or kindle iOS, I won’t be able to highlight and save it in the Liner app.

Guys, Love Liner. Have been a fan for a long time and I always recommend Liner for my friends who are looking to highlight the web. I am a Safari person and for various reasons, we use only Safari at work. Liner for Safari is completely broken and for a very long time. When are you guys planning to fix it? And where can I provide feedback for you? Are you guys on something like https://hellonext.co?

Which data is getting shared with you and other parties and for what reasons?

@thomasleiterman It attempts to set cookies for https://platform.twitter.com and https://staticxx.facebook.com. It does this by adding an i-frame to the top of the browser window. Part of the data that gets sent along to these sites is the site that you are visiting. If you inspect the page, you will find an i-frame in the window. I am sure this will not affect the majority of users. It just irked me that browser history is sent to these sites. Wondering if it's necessary or just an oversight. And if it's necessary, why?

@thomasleiterman Wow! I just deleted the original post. It was showing up double on my browser. I deleted the second one and when I come back, both are gone. My apologies to all, but I do not have the original post and I did not delete it on purpose. If anyone knows how to get it back, please inform my dumb self.

@luis_alvarez Hi Luis - I can see the original post re: cookies from twitter & fb. Is this the one you're referring to? Unfortunately the makers don't seem to be very responsive here...
Luis Alvarez
@thomasleiterman Yes sir. I believe that is the one. I will not be at all upset if you copy it and post it? Or somehow send it to me and I'll post it. Now, I did some very limited research and found out that these urls above are used to communicate with both Twitter and Facebook in order to use the signup with your Facebook/ Twitter account. Problem is, that when I looked at the data that was being posted to those addresses, they included the url that I was visiting at the moment. This to me is evidence that wherever you are offered the ability to login using your FB/Twtr accounts, Facebook and Twitter are data mining your information to death. I am working on a website that is going to allow any merchant to easily implement a Bitcoin cashier to their site. No API needed, though one will be available. Imagine if a site with such sensitive data, supposedly based on anonymous coins, is reporting your browser guts and activity to Facebook and Twitter? Kinda defeats the anonymity purpose I would think.

Hey great idea, but so many popups and offers. I recommend you to clean up the trial process to make people feel more confortable first and offering upgrades later.

Spam much? My GOD this thing won't leave me alone. Constantly popping up to ask me to buy premium, scroll too fast, LINER. Highlight something on a website, LINER. This extension was up my butt. Glad it's uninstalled. Would be useful if it just hid in plain sight and showed up when highlighting something and then maybe right-clicking on it - like Evernote, Dictionary, etc.
