I’ve been doing this since the ‘90s. At first I just had a text document with urls. From there it didn’t take a lot of imagination to wrap them in a little basic html, and there you have it.

The author has features I don’t have. But that’s the beauty of this! I have features they don’t have. You can have whatever features you want.. it’s just a matter of scratching your itches. Well, and some basic web skills (these days some basic prompting skills are probably enough).

That's genuinely awesome! I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time!

I don't have a background in coding, rather I'm just a humble engineering tech but this sounds like something I want to learn and sink my teeth into.

I have a tremendous amount of links - probably going back to the late 2000's and I've always relied on services like Pinboard, Raindrop and Delicious (!).

Once again thank you for the inspiration and the metaphorical kick up the backside!
