There is so much good stuff on the internet. A tweet that makes you think, an article you want to read properly, a video you know you'll want to watch again, a photo, an idea, a piece of advice. You save it thinking you'll come back to it. But you never do. The feed keeps moving and you keep moving with it. And that thing you wanted to remember gets buried under everything that came after. Siftl doesn't let it. This is a place for the things worth coming back to. Share something to Siftl and it goes into your Trove. Over time, it becomes a collection of things you found interesting enough to save. Every now and then, Siftl brings one back. Something you saved a few months ago. Something you'd completely forgotten about. You'll wonder why you saved it, or how you ever forgot it. Because good things are worth coming back to.
