| Very cool. It looks well put together, and most importantly, it works! I created a board with a couple links and then I noticed at the bottom of my homepage it says "Saved links" but that's empty. Is saving a link different from what I did by creating the links and putting them on the board? Also, have you thought about something like "browse boards" page? People could optionally select a board they want to share publicly and others could view all public boards and maybe vote or rate them. Edit: A couple more thoughts - I have two kinds of link collecting. Social and personal. Social: 1. Wife: hand her my phone.
2. Family: text messages
3. Friends: Discord server I can't see myself changing from these solutions given... 1. Current solutions already work well.
2. I'd have to convince the other people to use this too, which seems hard, especially given 1.
3. More friction. Instead of "Go to url" it becomes "Go here to see the url to go to." Personal: I make YouTube videos sometimes and collect links for sources while I'm making them. Right now I put all the urls into a text file and at publish time I copy and paste the sources into the video description. I could kind of see something like this fitting into the workflow IF I worked with someone else. Since I don't, the text file approach is easier and faster. If I did need to share collections of links, like with a collaborator or editor though... |
The saved links section is probably not well-worded. It shows links you have bookmarked within the app for further filtering. You can bookmark a link by clicking on the black bookmark icon at the bottom of the link.
I've been thinking about a similar public boards feature, and I certainly think it would be useful to implement something like that.
Interesting to hear your viewpoint on this, it seems like most people are content with the tools they're using. Do you think something like a webclipper would help the project? This would allow you to add links directly as you are on the page, eliminating the process of actually copy-pasting it. I think this would make the process easier and actually make SeeLink more seamless to use.
