From Chrome Extension to Web App

If you are an existing user, here’s how you can move your data to the web app.

  1. visit https://xbase.so/app
  1. Sign up with the same email that you have used previously with xbase
  1. Continue with the rest of the flow

Why Transition to a Web Application?

At xbase, we are always looking for ways to enhance your experience and make managing your X bookmarks more seamless and efficient. After evaluating the best way to deliver our services, we learned there are several advantages in this transition to a Web Application, here are some of them:

  1. No longer platform dependent
    • Web Application: Access xbase on any browser
    • Chrome Extension: Limited to Chromium based browsers
  1. Better distribution
    • Web Application: Access xbase directly through a url (xbase.so/app)
    • Chrome Extension: Requires installation on a Chromium based browser and discovery is limited to the Chrome Web Store
  1. Scalability
    • Web Application: Easier to add new features, integrations, and better performance
    • Chrome Extension: Limited capabilities depending on the extension framework

If you've been using our Chrome extension, thank you so much! We appreciate your support and are glad that xbase has been able to serve you well. Rest assured that all your data is safe with us. To continue using xbase, sign up on the new web app using the same email address you used for the extension. Follow the onboarding to access and manage your bookmarks. We apologize for this friction but we promise it will benefit you. If you have any issues, the founder of xbase will assist you directly: p@hongbeom.com.
Thank you for your continued support!
