Ever built a product when didn't find anything online?
So I have been developing sites for last 10 years and I bookmarked around 2000 links. It is definitely not 10000 links like some devs have but 2k was still huge to manage.
I tried different bookmark managers and I don't want to take any names here but they all had their own problems. The most famous one doesn't even have folders. If you import your bookmarks in it, it will disregard your folder structure and sandwich all your links in one infinite scroll.
So as an dev would do I sat with my team and started building it ourselves. We built something small and clean to manage our links and then shared it in a few communities like discord, slack and here and everyone loves it so far. The most important thing for us was it should look nice and not something from the 90s.
So finally today we have launched it for everyone on ProductHunt to try it and I wanted to let our dev community here to know as well. Respecting the rules here so skipping the link in the post.
This is great Akash! Congrats!!!
The tool looks awesome as well. I've looked at pinboard before but Linkish looks like a dream :D
Hey Lucas. Glad you liked it! That's exactly what I call linkish sometimes, a dream platform. It just makes bookmarking so much fun instead of looking at endless scroll of text links.
congrats on the launch!
Thanks :)
https://pinboard.in/ is probably the most popular/biggest bookmarking site. Back in the day, I used to use del.icio.us, which long-term was bought by pinboard.
Now, I tend to bookmark things mostly by putting them in /dev/null, knowing that I won't ever really have the time to revisit the bookmark, and if I did, I'd likely just find it again via search (or it would be really old).
I no longer like to waste my time with "folders" and trying to organize bookmarks, as I've just become honest with myself about never getting to them.
Sounds great! Thanks for sharing your way of doing it.
Very nice website at a galnce! How does this differ from Notion? I tend to just clip urls with their web clipper and so I have one central place for my knowledge
Hey! So notion is great for taking notes and to-do lists but there aren't enough options when it comes to links. Importing existing google bookmarks in Notion is a nightmare. As mentioned above, I have 2000 links so all I saw was a list of 2000 links when I imported my bookmarks in it.
linkish saves your bookmarks with nested folders just like you saved them in your browser. It can find the broken links and duplicate links in your account, automatically categorize your links based on image/audio/video/article category so you can see different cards for one topic as well. There are tons of more features that we keep on adding every two weeks.
