I’ve been building a personal side-project called Linkits, and I’d love feedback from people who think a lot about information structure, bookmarking, webrings, and discovery systems.
The idea is simple:
Instead of having bookmarks, notes, and saved links scattered across YouTube, Twitter, newsletters, blogs, etc., I wanted a way to group links into meaningful collections that feel more like lightweight and discoverable knowledge hubs than traditional folders.
A collection can represent:
- a podcast “universe” (hosts, episodes, resources)
- a theme (AI, dev tools, indie hacking)
- a project workspace
- a personal reading list
- or a public topic you want to curate
Collections can be public, private, or unlisted.
Current features:
- sections inside a collection
- filters based on link origin (YouTube, Twitter, blogs…)
- list layout
- sharing
- optional public discoverability
- SEO indexing (so a collection can act as a backlink)
- custom slugs
Think: Notion pages, but optimized for links.
Why I built it
Most bookmarking tools feel either too rigid (folders) or too flat (endless saved lists). I wanted something that:
- lets you structure a bunch of links quickly
- looks clean when shared
- works well for “topic spaces”
- stays lightweight and simple
- lets you share is quickly with others.
What I’d love feedback on:
- Does this solve a real problem for you?
- Which features matter most in a link-collection tool?
- What would make it useful for teams or communities?
- Any concerns about UX, scaling, or positioning?
I am iterating really fast so every feedback will really be appreciated.
Happy to share more details if anyone wants to dig deeper.
I built an app to organize web links like collections. Would love feedback · HackerTrans
