Web application for storing and managing link/url-based information gathered from around the web
- Having used several note-taking apps, like Evernote, OneNote, Notion, Apple Notes, note-taking still remained a pain
- Over the years, as more and more info was read on the web (primary source) and interesting ones had to be jotted down somewhere for later reference as well as me becoming a minimalist, the most preferred way of taking notes just boiled down to storing the URL/Link to that page with some notes, tags with further categorization under different topics
- Attempted to achieve this with Evernote, then later migrated to Notion and finally Apple Notes, have now tons of Links in different notes but still not properly organised - unhappy & not satisfied
- Eventually after many thoughts and a lot of thinking, came up with the LinkStore idea
- Minimalist method for note-taking/referencing/bookmarking from the web
- Allows storing info using the links for later reference
- Accompanying metadata - stored on, user-linked etc.
- Allows automatic extraction of title from URL, link type processing in most cases
- Authentication system (BasicAuth)
- Links in linkstore can be tagged as well grouped into topics
- Links can be read and marked/starred besides providing a read count (how often a link is opened)
- Provides stats for the user's LinkStore such as most popular topics, tags etc.
- If needed, personal notes per link can be added and stored
- Links, topics and tags have the CRUD functionality allowing for their easy management
- Intuitive, easy-to-use UI and superfast
- Other functionalities such as sorting and searching the LinkStore
