Built it because I face the problem of not being able to share links efficiently with friends and family.
Show HN: OneDonation – A Social Network to Help Connect Donors and NGOs
Hello HN,I am a 15-year-old developer from Mumbai.I have developed an app called OneDonation, which is a platform to match donors with NGOs in order to facilitate donations all over India. OneDonation helps NGOs find donors, while subsequently helping donors find charitable causes to donate to. Several prominent NGOs are already on the platform.Please sign up and join if you are keen to...
Yup, I think Pinterest is great for discovering interesting links, I think the direction SeeLink should go in is the social sharing and work related sharing of links.
Thanks for all the comments!
No plans to make money as of yet, but I think a freemium model might work in this case.
The saved links section is probably not well-worded. It shows links you have bookmarked within the app for further filtering. You can bookmark a link by clicking on the black bookmark icon at the bottom of the link.
I've been thinking about a similar public boards feature, and I certainly think it would be useful to implement something like that.
Interesting to hear your viewpoint on this, it seems like most people are content with the tools they're using. Do you think something like a webclipper would help the project? This would allow you to add links directly as you are on the page, eliminating the process of actually copy-pasting it. I think this would make the process easier and actually make SeeLink more seamless to use.
1. It looks like it wasn't a good idea to use Pinterest as an example link, haha. I think Pinterest is mostly a social network for discovering interesting links from the web, this is more of a tool that people would use to share important links with each other, instead of messaging apps (which is how most people I know share links with each other).
2. Hmmm, I've got mixed feedback on that, but I think the best thing to do would be to change it to white with maybe black or red text in the foreground.
3. You're right, the bookmark icon is for further filtering, something you'd use if you're browsing someone else's board and like a particular link you'd want to read later.
If you don't mind answering a question of my own, do you think you'd actually find a use for this and actively use it?
Thanks a ton for all of your feedback!
I am a 14-year-old developer from Mumbai currently studying in grade 10.
After being frustrated with not being able to share and collaborate on links with friends and family, I created SeeLink, a platform to simplify sharing and collaborating on links with friends and family. After 3 months of work, I have created a complete platform that simplifies link sharing and collaboration, allowing you to seamlessly share, save, and collaborate on links. I built it with Python and Flask, used Bootstrap for the front-end, and am using Heroku for hosting the site. There were a lot of technical difficulties I faced and had to wade through a lot of uncharted territories, but I'm super excited to finally launch SeeLink and get it out to the world! Also, let me know if you have any feedback, suggestions, or questions. Feel free to ask me any questions about how I built the site, and I'd be happy to answer them.
Show HN: A new way to share and collaborate on links
A few days ago, I released SeeLink. After a lot of encouraging feedback, I've decided to make a public GitHub repository to chat with people who'd want to use SeeLink, and gather suggestions from them on the way.
Thanks!
