Save What You Surf!

*** Great News! Soft As It Gets Pty Ltd has agreed to extend this deal for another day - Enjoy! ***

Web browsers are fantastic when it comes to browsing, but let's be honest, they're not so hot for compiling those infinite masses of data, images, and information into something that we can actually use.

Ask yourself:

    How much time do you spend searching for the same information at the same websites over and over and over again?
  • How often have you gone back to a website only to find that some crucial image, article, or snippet of information is no longer available?
  • Do you ever feel like your internet research is being sabotaged by the fact that you have no way to effectively and conveniently organize it?
  • Are your browser bookmarks starting to enter the triple (or quadruple!) digits?

With Surfulater, you can permanently save anything that you find on the web and organize it all in intelligent, functional ways. You can use it as a general purpose information manager, a powerful research tool and research organizer, and as a knowledge base to build your own digital library of information.

Give it a try today, Surfulater will change the way you use the internet!

Chong Lee I apologize in advance if this topic has been discussed before. I have not have the time to do a complete read of the comments or do a test drive of the program. I understand that the software captures information and webpages. In capturing a web page with embedded links, are the links also captures for later offline browsing? Thanks.

Jim McGowan Since This version of Surfulater will be abandoned after the new "in the cloud" subscription model is released, will people who purchased this version be upgraded to the new version with a "free" subscription for a period of time based on when they purchased?

Or will they be starting out fresh and have to immediately re-purchase / subscribe to the new model?

Thank you.

Jim
May 15 at 7:39am
VLM A variation on Jim McGowan;s question: for those of us who do not wish to be in the clouds, ever, will there be a final non-cloud version?
May 15 at 7:47am
Eddie Tex Having read through the comments, I just wanted to say I am highly impressed by the responsiveness and honesty of Neville Franks regarding his product. Without having even tried it myself, I'm tempted to purchase this because of him.

Having said that, I do want to ask how much longer will the offline version be maintained following the release of the web version? Will that maintenance include ongoing browser support for the major Windows-based browsers (i.e. Chrome, Firefox, IE)?

I don't mind paying $40 for a great product with a great developer, but I do want some level of confidence that it will remain functional for a certain period of time.

Neville Franks @Chong Lee Surfulater captures the current page in full, but does not capture pages linked to the current page. You would need to open those pages and capture the ones you want. Capturing all pages linked to a page would sometimes be useful, but doesn't fit a typical use case as you would likely end up with pages which were not relevant, which would waste space and time.

Apologies for the delay replying but it is the start of our day here in Australia now.
Soft As It Gets Pty Ltd Vendor - May 15 at 2:38pm
Neville Franks @Jim McGowan, good question and not one I've seriously thought through at this time. That said there is no doubt we'd look after existing customers in some way.

@VLM We are planning a non-cloud as well as cloud version. You can read more about this on our blog: http://blog.surfulater.com/

Apologies for the delay replying but it is the start of our day here in Australia now.
Soft As It Gets Pty Ltd Vendor - May 15 at 2:43pm
Neville Franks @Eddie Tex Thanks for your generous words. Browser vendors tend to make life a bit difficult for Extension Developers, as you are no doubt aware. That said I'd like to think our Surfulater Browser Extensions will continue to work for quite some time. If that's not the case we would certainly endeavour to do whatever work was necessary to get them working again, as we have done in the past.

And FYI development of the Web version is going well, however it is a big project and is still quite some way away.
Soft As It Gets Pty Ltd Vendor - May 15 at 2:50pm
Neville Franks @VLM Your second post was hidden and I've only just noticed it.

I haven't looked at Scrapbook in quite some time, however I'm sure you will find Surfulater's capabilities for capturing, annotating, cross-referencing, organizing and locating information are far better suited to doing comprehensive and efficient research. Surfulater isn't tied to just one specific Browser and uses a real database for storing content. And more... :-)
Soft As It Gets Pty Ltd Vendor - May 15 at 3:35pm
Eddie Tex Thanks Neville. I certainly would not expect indefinite maintenance support for the major browsers. That would not be sustainable for you as a developer, but I am convinced that what you say is true... that you would endeavor to make it work, at least for a certain period of time following the release of the next version. I'm also encouraged that you are planning a non-cloud version in the next release. Keep up the great work!

Brian H Hi- Question- I understand that Surfulater does not automatically download documents that are linked to the main page being capture, but does it have the ability to keep these links "active" when saving the main document for archiving- meaning that I could later (if I so choose) click on a link in the main, archived document, and be taken to that page (via my default web browser)? Just wondering if this option is available. Thanks. -Brian
May 15 at 6:47pm
Neville Franks @Brian H. Yes all links on pages saved permanently in Surfulater will open those pages in your Web Browser, assuming they still exist on the web of course.
Soft As It Gets Pty Ltd Vendor - May 15 at 6:53pm
VLM Neville Franks - Thank you for your responses.

Regarding Scrapbook, I believe it does (can) capture linked pages. That is a big advantage, at least for some users. Your firm might wish to take a look at this aspect of Scrapbook's functionality and think about what might be done to enhance Surfulater in this regard. Just a suggestion.

Alino Miceli This is ridiculous. Why is it so complicated to buy? The link http://store.esellerate.n...&at=100001 is not just working. Too complicated. I give up.
May 16 at 2:19pm
Neville Franks @Alino Miceli I cannot see any problem with the link and have not had any reports of any issues from the many people that have purchased so far. If you want to contact me directly I'd be happy to assist further.
Soft As It Gets Pty Ltd Vendor - May 16 at 2:37pm
Alino Miceli Thx. I'm having a blank screen. I even downloaded the software.
Thank you for assistance.
May 16 at 2:52pm
Neville Franks @Alino My only thought right now is whether there is some problem with the Domain name resolution from your location to eSellerate.net who is our eCommerce provider. What country are you located in?
Soft As It Gets Pty Ltd Vendor - May 16 at 3:27pm
eb235 Same problem for me : blank screen 5 hours ago and now a screen typical of domains awaiting renewal.
Curiously 5 hours ago I was in another (European) country. I can also testify that the link was active during the first day of the promotion.
My own thought is : has the store link been renewed for the second day of the promotion ?
I'll try to contact Neville Franks directly but later (time to get some sleep !)
May 16 at 4:17pm
Neville Franks @eb235 Thanks for your feedback. There has been no change to the link. It appears to be a Domain Name Resolution issue for some folks in Europe. I have reported this to our eCommerce provider eSellerate and am awaiting their response.
Soft As It Gets Pty Ltd Vendor - May 16 at 4:50pm
Neville Franks @Alino. @eb235 I have received a reply from our eCommerce provider as follows:

"There are external domain name issues intermittently impacting some of Digital River’s customer stores. This may be interrupting your e-commerce or payments service. This is not a security related issue. This is our highest priority, and our IT staff is working diligently to implement a fix.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience, and we will keep you posted on our efforts toward a solution. "

All I can suggest is to keep trying. If you are unable to get the special before it runs out contact me directly and I'll help you out.
Soft As It Gets Pty Ltd Vendor - May 16 at 5:26pm
J S G'day Nev,

Well Alino aint the only one 'avin problems.

I'm using Firefox 19.0.2 and have made another purchase from Bitsdujour within the last Hour successfully.

Tried the link from this promotion and for the first time ever my full licensed AdMuncher says the purchase screen (or whatever the links goes directly too) has been Munched.

So i disabled AdMuncher and tried again and this time although 99% of the window is white there is a small Grey progress bar in the top left corner of the window that sits there scrolling left to right for approx 30 seconds and then NUTH'iN just a Blank/White window.

I have just tried the other BdJ promotion pages as well as their purchase links and they're all working.

I have no idea what is wrong but unless I can get this to work I won't be able to make my purchase today.

I just noticed Neville Franks comments to @eb235 about Domain Name Resolution issue and some folks in Europe.

Well I'm in the land down under and something weird is happening to me via OPTUS cable.

I'm about to go off to Hospital for a pre-arranged medical procedure and I'm not going to be back home (if everything goes according to plan) before 6pm BrisVegaz time, so it looks as though I'm going to miss out, as the link or page or something beyond my control is DEFiNiTELY NOT WORKiNG.

HELP
May 16 at 6:00pm
Neville Franks @J S, No problems for me here in Melbourne. Ain't the Internet grand. ;-)

If you can't get it to work before the sale runs out e-mail me at info@surfulater.com and I'll arrange the same discount. This applies to anyone having the same problem.
Soft As It Gets Pty Ltd Vendor - May 16 at 6:09pm
Alino Miceli Thanks. I'm in Europe. Please provide me with your direct contact
