Show HN: Bunklist – Collect and discover useful websites through lists

Re:Show HN: Bunklist – Collect and discover useful websites ... by supernano9 on Wednesday January 27, 2021 @12:56PM (#25931402)

OP here, I like to collect interesting and useful websites to visit later. Browser bookmarks are cool but they quickly get disorganized and I forgot the folder where I have bookmarked the website.

So, I built Bunklist to collect my favourite websites into simple lists for my personal use and also to share it with my friends and team. If you are looking for something to organize your bookmarks, give Bunklist a try and let me know your thoughts about it.

You can set your list to be public or private, Public lists are discovered by other users, they can add comments, like, bookmark, or save websites into their list using the “Bunk it” button .

I have also made a “Shuffle”, an alternative to StumbleUpon to discover one random website from public lists.

Bunklist is completely free to use & I am looking for your feedback and suggestions to improve our product.

Are you aware that "bunk" means "nonsense" [1] or "defective" [2]?

No, I thought "bunk" means bed bunker or bunk as in pile something over one another.

Well, it does also mean that, but, in this context, that's not what came to mind when I saw it.

I guess, you're right. I am not sure if it's a good idea to change the name. What do you think?

I don't think it's a big deal. But bunker list would avoid this particular misinterpretation

btw, I like the idea. Or I think I do, because I'm not signing up before I get a chance to test it. This is a very common - and very legitimate - complaint on Show HN posts. You need to give people a chance to work with it - play around a little - before they sign up

Good luck!

Indeed, my first reaction was that this would be a list of sites to avoid.

I've used your contact form to let you know about an exploit with private lists

I love the clean design and responsiveness of the website.

Might I suggest adding 'keywords' to the shuffle feature to make it more focused.

This is a nice suggestion. Thanks for that. Added in our to-do list.
