Sneak peek at Hookmark 5

Hookmark 5 is well under development. It will have some delightful improvements, such as:

NEW: Copy As Universal Link and Copy as Universal Markdown Link. Hookmark will enable you to overcome limitations of web services like Notion, Gmail, Google Docs, Google Sheets, etc. that vitiate custom links.
NEW: A selection-sensitive button will replace the Title button and Link buttons. You will be able to select the title as well as any link. This makes it much easier to learn Hookmark. Fear not, the prior commands are preserved.
NEW: Additional support for deep web hooks.
NEW: Automatically backup Hookmark's database.

There will be more features and fixes, some of which are already described on the Hookmark 5 release notes page.

We will announce availability of the first public beta on the Hookmark forum and subsequently in an upcoming issue of this newsletter.

Hookmark in an emotional nutshell

Ever find it difficult to describe to your friends what Hookmark can do for them? Try focusing on the pain that Hookmark relieves and the mental benefits it provides.

😫 You repeatedly search for information scattered across different apps and folders.
😌 Hookmark puts links to task-relevant information at your fingertips, regardless of where it's stored.
👉 Stop struggling. Stay focused with Hookmark's contextual links.

Pain. Solution. Cognitive and emotional benefits.

Two new gift ideas for your loved ones

What better gift could you give your loved ones than potent tools to help them understand and improve their emotional well-being? We have two new tools to recommend for the holiday season:

First, as a very inexpensive gift for parents of young children, we recommend the picture book, Finding Your Stars, by the award winning 🇨🇦 Canadian writer, Carolyn Morris. It distills in simple transformative words and images one of the most important psychological principles children (and adults!) need to learn.

I find it fascinating that such a simple book can be so relevant to something very complex, such as dealing with mental perturbance, which I'm sure most of us experienced due to the pandemic.

Second, for readers interested in extensively understanding 'emotions', we recommend Demystifying Emotions by Belgian psychologist Dr. Agnes Moors. Published by Cambridge University Press, this book helps the reader think broadly and differently about "emotions". Dr. Moors' framework is largely compatible with the design-oriented framework developed by Prof. Aaron Sloman and myself.

Of course, Hookmark can be used to connect information about emotion and other topics.
