My weekend project - alternative to Pinboard / Delicious

15 pointsby seeleover 13 years ago
Hi everyone,<p>I'd like to share with you my "weekend" project - LStack (http://lstack.com/), simple web application built as a by-product of another project I'm working on (on which I've tried to get HN feedback few weeks ago - see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3194597).<p>LStack was born of frustration with one specific limitation of other bookmarking apps (like Delicious). I'm doing a lot of research for my projects and I needed to store some attributes about bookmarked articles, companies, webapps, courses and certifications info, etc. My tags, plain text description fields, notes were becoming a mess.<p>I needed my bookmarks annotated with parameters like "price = 100 USD", "integrated with = facebook", "integrated with = twitter", "filetype = pdf", "filetype = doc", "funding = 1M USD", "prep = gmat", "prep = lstat", "payments = paypal", "payments = credit card", "type = news", "type = company", "type = product", "contact email = support@company.com", "supported language = english", "stage = private beta", etc.<p>So about month ago I've spent few days to implement LStack which allows me to save not only bookmark but also additional "structured" data connected with it. The webapp is still very raw and not even close to feature-rich predecessors like Pinboard or Delicious, but I've successfully switched to it and extensively use the unique smart tags feature.<p>What do you think of the application? Do you face similar problem? Do you find the webapp useful? I'm wondering if anybody could be interested in additional, especially "premium" (paid) features. Do you think something like LStack has a chance to become a business, not just hobby side-project?<p>Best regards, Seele

I was a long time delicious user, and I like having my data up in the cloud. I think what I prioritize the most is having a good UX and my links being available everywhere.<p>minor thing: your signup password fields should be of type password so they don't show up in plain text.

Hmm, not sure if this was intended (and if it was, why), but the title on your sign-up page seems to be off, at least for me. Maybe it's by default regionalized to a different language?<p>Other then that, looks amazing. If there's easy import/export features, I could see this luring me away from Pinboard, at least temporarily.

Huh, I was just looking for something like that: a webapp to squirrel interesting links that might sooner or later prove useful as sources and references for blogging, tweeting, and similar purposes. Big thumbs up!

This is hugely useful Seele. I'd pay money for it. In fact, if you have a PayPal/WePay/Square account I'll send you some money right now if there's a way to import &#38; export data.

Might want to fix your signup form password fields: <a href="http://awesomescreenshot.com/050q3oh29" rel="nofollow">http://awesomescreenshot.com/050q3oh29</a>
