Founder, Bookmend
Nafiul Hasan is the founder of Bookmend. He builds tools that fix small, specific frustrations rather than reinvent them — Bookmend started after losing a decade of bookmarked research links to dead pages he couldn't get back. He writes here about link rot, how the Wayback Machine actually works, and what's real versus marketing in the browser-extension space.
