I’m interviewing folks to determine the roadmap for my federated link sharing project “linkblocks”. If you like bookmark managers, lemmy, are.na, or any other app for curating and sharing stuff, this is your chance to make me build your dream app ;)

A session takes about 30 minutes in a voice chat. If you’re interested, comment here or send me a DM!

For the curious, here’s a demo for the current prototype. The code is on github.

In contrast to other bookmarking apps, linkblocks focuses on collaboration and discussion. Discussion will be a bit like on lemmy, but instead of voting, bookmarks are discovered through tagging and following individual users.

    Sorry I can’t vc but I’d like to share some opinions/feedback. A lot of these are UI/UX things that I imagine won’t be implemented until later in development but I would like to get them out there:

    1. Please do not add AI to this (or at least keep it as a plugin). Seems like an odd ask but every webapp bookmark manager I’ve check out has added the most random AI features

    2. Optionally see bookmarks under lists in the sidebar (including seeing lists under “unpinned lists” and bookmarks under “unsorted bookmarks”). For neatness sake maybe have it clamped to 10 items and have the rest listed as a single item + x bookmarks in a subtext color

    1. Search for bookmarks

    2. Rename, delete, and move bookmarks from the sidebar with a right click menu

    3. Sidebar bookmarks show favicon of website. Bookmark page shows a preview of the website

    4. Extra information in key=value for bookmarks, ie: price=49.99, and being able to sort by keys, ie: price <= 25

    5. Hidden bookmarks: hidden by default from searches and list views unless “show hidden” option is toggled. I personally would use this a lot for websites I’ve read through already but might want to keep incase someone else needs the info

    6. Archived bookmarks: archive the site itself and store it on the server
