This is not a startup, and there's no business here. Its a "scratching an itch" weekend project. I'm a link junkie, and like to save big collections of stuff - be it travel info for an upcoming trip, funny gifs, or whatehaveyou. There's no social, and no discovery.<p>I just wanted a super simple, very flexible, lightweight link index. I also wanted to play around with Bootstrap and JQuery.<p>Originally, I built LinkThing on the Twitter API. It used twitter Oauth, and did some neat stuff, like index links in your tweets. But - I don't feel like figuring out how to comply with the new API guidelines, so I've backed it all out, and have built a standalone user account system, and there you go.<p>LinkThing is missing several things:
1. Don't lose your password. The password reset thing referenced in the "join" form doesn't actually exist yet.
2. Links that you add aren't currently editable; but that's almost there. Note: You <i>can</i> delete them.
3. There's some real low-hanging fruit missing, like a bookmarklet, that I'll get too shortly as well.<p>Anyhow, I posted a note about this in another thread some time ago, and wanted to share an update. As noted, this is a weekend warrior / fun project, so don't hold back - I haven't quit my day job for this. Its been fun to develop, and I've actually ended up being a pretty devoted user of it, at home and at work, and it would be cool if some other people found it useful too.<p>I wrote a brief into blurb here that will give you some flavor:<p>http://linkthing.co/doc_getting_started.php<p>Feedback/comments/complaints are appreciated. Please note:
- To join, you just need a username and a password, email address is not required.
- You can delete all of your data and erase any record that you ever joined LinkThing via the "Delete Account Data" link that you'll find under your username dropdown once you've signed in.
