Bookmarker is a personal project by @dellsystem to help with retaining reading material. Source on GitHub.

We started building the product and then started looking around for funding. We went to a number of VCs and many of them turned us down because they were like, "How are you going to make money if you are going to give it away for free? What's the revenue mechanism?" We said we would capture detailed demographic information about people and that detailed quality of information on individuals would help us advertise to them. But of course advertising was not a proven revenue model at that time.
