Hey fellow internet users! I always got frustrated with existing bookmarking tools as they were either too clunky to use or had way too many features I didn't need. Until I decided to just build my own!

WebCrate allows you to organize links, articles and more from around the web into collections called crates. You can share the crates with anyone and since each user gets their own instance of WebCrate in their own 'personal cloud' thanks to Deta Space, you can subscribe to other users crates and view their links right from your dashboard.

Deta Space made it really easy for me as dev to build something like WebCrate quickly and it's also awesome for users. The app keeps running even if I disappear and hosting, auth etc. is all handled for me.

For the nerds, I built WebCrate with Nuxt and ExpressJS and it uses Deta included NoSQL database.

You can learn more about WebCrate at http://webcrate.app or install it directly on Deta Space (https://deta.space/discovery/webcrate)! Let me know what you think (WebCrate is OSS, so you can also contribute) and I hope you find it useful!
