Discerned

Web clipper for saving articles, quotes and pages. Rate and tag what you clip, and publish your picks to Nostr if you want.

Discern the signal from the noise on the web. Discerned is a local-first web clipper for saving and organizing web content — and a decentralized discovery tool for seeing what people you trust are rating across any website. CLIP & RATE WHAT MATTERS • Save full pages, articles, text selections, or bookmarks in one click. • You can assign a Signal Rating — five levels, from "Toxic" through "Ordinary" to "Masterpiece". • Tag clips by tone, utility, and longevity, or add your own custom qualifiers. • Sort into custom categories alongside built-in ones. • Add personal notes to any clip. SEE WHAT OTHERS ARE RATING ACROSS THE WEB • Break free from walled gardens: discover what curators and readers rate highly or lowly across multiple websites, not just a single platform controlled by one company. • Published clips and ratings feed directly into a public index at discerned.online, open to read by anyone. • Filter feeds by Signal Rating, category, or qualifiers to see genuine recommendations and skip the noise. • Follow people you know and trusted curators to grow your network and see what it's rating across the web. CAPTURES THAT LOOK LIKE WHAT YOU READ • Preserves the page's real structure rather than flattening it into plain text. • Dedicated handling for complex sites that defeat ordinary clippers, keeping visual layout intact. • Strips out ads, clutter, and unwanted noise automatically. PUBLISH TO AN OPEN PROTOCOL • Publish your clips whenever you choose to Nostr — an open social network where you own your identity, posts, and social graph. • Bring your existing key, or generate one locally in seconds — no email, password, or third-party auth required. • Every public rating is cryptographically signed under your own key and works seamlessly across compatible apps. • Freedom from lock-in: no single company owns your data, controls the feed, or can take your clips away. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED — OWN YOUR DATA • Start clipping immediately with zero mandatory account creation. • Your clip library remains local-first, stored on your device. • Export your entire library as JSON at any time, or import existing clips from JSON and Evernote files.
