The inspiration for this prototype was my own web browser with its 50+ bookmarks constantly opened. As you can see, I´m very curious person and  tend to click on everything that sparks my interest (and there is a lot of it), but the real issue arises if

Tsundoku (積ん読) refers to the phenomenon of acquiring reading materials but letting them pile up in one's home without reading them.
