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.

    Thanks for the hint - it seems there are some routing problems to the server. I’ll look into it!

    linkblocks is inspired by wikis but differs in some key goals:

    • the UI for discussions will be more upfront than in most wikis, and will look more like lemmy’s comment UI.
    • bookmarking-specific features like dead link checking, full-text website retrieval & search
    • optional stream of new bookmarks & comments from people you follow

      I’ll try to take a closer look and I might be up for an interview, since the concept interests me. I generally prefer less formal structure. Do you remember DMOZ? It might even still be around.
